National Team
The flagship of Ukrainian rugby on the international stage.
Ukraine’s rugby-15 national team is the top of the pyramid. Under martial law the key tasks are: a player-reservation mechanism, full camps abroad and drawing in the strongest legionnaires from France, England and Poland.
Each year — at least two international camps with test matches and an extended squad of 40–45 candidates.
What’s included
- Reservation of national-team players
- Two camps a year abroad
- Extended squad of 40–45
- Goal — higher Rugby Europe division
