Ryan's Historic Start for Mar del Plata

Ante la Unión de Rugby de Buenos Aires, se produjo un hecho inédito en el rugby local, ya que un jugador neocelandés formó parte del equipo de Menores de 20 años. Se trata de Ryan Kerby, quien se encuentra en el país realizando un intercambio cultural propiciado por el Holly Trinity College y a la vez, como buen amante del rugby, practica este deporte representando a Universitario. Por primera vez, un originario de esas islas se colocó la casaca del trébol en un partido, que si bien era amistoso, quedará en la historia.

Before playing against URBA (Buenos Aires Rugby Union), there was an unusual happening in local rugby; a New Zealander formed part of the Mar del Plata Under 20 team. They trialed Ryan Kerby, who was found in the country involved in a cultural exchange sponsored by Holy Trinity College and at the time, as a keen rugby follower, was playing for Club Universitario. For the first time, a native from these islands donned a 'clover jersey' in a match. Even though it was friendly, it will go down in history.
