It’s the end of an era for Italian rugby.The Italian Rugby Federation (FIR) has decided to participate in the Magners Celtic League and Heineken Cup with two “Super Clubs”. The decision follows in the footsteps of the rugby organizations in the Southern hemisphere – New Zealand, Australia and South Africa – which has also been adopted by Wales, Ireland and Scotland: very high performance levels featuring a small number of clubs working in close partnership with the Federations.

 

The decision by FIR has obviously affected the development of AlmavivA Capitolina, which has overhauled its projects to adapt to the new model. The decision to withdraw from next season’s Super 10 Championship – the last season before entry in the Magners Celtic League – is a result of this and announces what is to be expected in 2010.
 
Capitolina wishes to confirm its utmost commitment to youth rugby training, the mission for which it was established in 1996 and which it has never renounced, and promises to provide even more resources than in the past to achieve this, in order to improve its sports and educational commitment. The activities of our not-for-profit organization will also continue, as also the school projects, the social housing projects for disadvantaged families and children, and the projects aimed at the integration of children with Down syndrome.
 
These projects will continue thanks to the ongoing support by AlmavivA of Capitolina Rugby and its activities, due to its commitment to upholding its underlying spirit: team work and play, fair play, strength of mind and character, willpower, grit and determination.
 
"It is not hard for a leading IT provider like Almaviva to share, support and uphold the solidarity objectives and the goal to strengthen and enhance the underlying principles of Rugby" said Claudio Tinari, the President of Capitolina, who continued: "The ongoing ambition of Almaviva and, indeed, of Unione Rugby Capitolina, in fact, is to continuously improve its ethical standards and production performance".
