Rugby on ice (well snow)

Peisey-Vallandry, a ski resort between Les Arcs and La Plagne (Paradiski ), is organising a rugby tournament on snow on March 18th, to celebrate St Patrick’s week.

.. St Patrick's week.... WHAT!! .. Since when has St Patrick had a whole week.

Run by the Comité Départemental de Rugby de Savoie, which oversees the teaching of rugby, the tournament requires seven players per team, comprising four on the field and three substitutes and in an unusual twist players will have to play in their ski boots. Oh those pesky Irish..

Local bars will no doubt be running tied in promotions and general tom-foolerly. Have a good one people!
