Director of FSBI Yug Sport Mikhail Dremov said that more than 400 coaches have completed training at the base, and now more than 100 children are training. He stressed that the emergence of a professional rugby team in Sochi suggests itself.
The exposition presents the achievements of Russian rugby, commemorative balls, medals, uniforms and many other exhibits.
