25,000 crowd at the Copa del Rey - Spanish cup final

[Car]

Yes, it is a great result whatever the final outcome is. But is not untrue that our problems come at senior level, not in U18-U19-U20 teams: we have a nice pool of talent, but only few of them will have the chance to play at a professional level. Some players from Copa del Rey final are guys only 21, 22, 23 years old that tried their luck in France and ended up returning to Spain. And as they are not used to play in big leagues, if we field them in the national team we crash from minute 60 until the end of the match.

That's a problem we have here with our current squad even with lots of players who didn't grow up here.

This and Spain U20's in the cup final v Samoa playin to get into the championship looks like rugby really is on the up

Samoa beat Spain in sudden death extra time, 38-32. Nevertheless our guys' performance was amazing and beyond any kind of expectations.
