Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival 2008

1-8 September 2008

International rugby fixtures you can take part in – at the home of Scottish rugby. If you sign up to the Air New Zealand Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival, you’ll be able to play rugby with teams from around the world. And unlike professional rugby, age is not a problem. You must be 35+ to compete.

Gavin Hastings, ex-Scotland captain is on your side. He’s on board as the Festival Ambassador. Scotland is proud to host her first Air New Zealand Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival, and the 17th to be held in total. As a sign of how seriously the city is taking the event, the Opening Ceremony will be held at Edinburgh Castle.
