Poles and Frenchmen in Split become European Rugby Champions

The European Rugby Championship concluded in Split with a three-day event at Park mladeži, where teams competed in both men's and women's categories. In the women's competition, Irish rugby players defeated Poland 26:12, but overall points scored across two locations (Hamburg and Split) placed Polish players first with 36 points, French players second with 32, and Irish third with 30. In the men's category, France won gold after a strong performance, defeating Lithuania, Georgia, Portugal, and Italy with a score of 43:0 in the final. The tournament attracted thousands of spectators, with finals drawing large crowds and a concert by Gipsy Kings following. Organizers highlighted the support from government officials, including Prime Minister Andrej Plenković, and volunteers, while noting challenges such as scheduling conflicts with the Ultra Festival. Positive feedback was received from teams and fans, though there is hope for Croatia's national team to return to this level of competition.
