RuckHeads Tour Club Announces New Site and Upcoming Tour to Brazil

June 9, 2009, Denver, CO –The RuckHeads Tour Club, dedicated to

supporting rugby players and fans around the world, has launched a new

website (www.ruckheadstourclub.com). RuckHeads enables individual

players, supporters or partial clubs to combine, allowing them the

opportunity to play and/or watch rugby around the world.

Last spring, Scott Poindexter hooked up with is old rugby buddies from

around the globe and played in an over 35, 10's tournament run by

Melrose, Scotland Rugby Club in coordination with their world famous

Melrose 7's tournament. Sevens was founded in 1883 in Melrose yet in  

2008 was the first time the Melrose Rugby 7's tournament had a vet division

playing 10's.


Scott’s long-time friend Chris Thomson, who has played with Melrose for the

past 10 years, as an individual coordinated much of the ground work in

Scotland for us, and to say the least, Scott got a firsthand look at how much

work and effort events like this create for an individual or club. “I realized

that most smaller clubs don’t have the funds, coordinators, or even enough

players, within their club to organize and financially put on a tour of their

own”, says Scott. “so I decided to turn those frustrations into a business

opportunity.”

Seeing all the work Chris did for the Scotland tour along with his hands on

experience with his D2 club, Scott decided to contact other clubs to see

about their experiences herding the cats. What he found was an even

larger number of individual ruggers, supporters and clubs that don’t have

the time or money to coordinate such a tour. With most tour companies

expecting an entire side from one local, there just isn’t enough support out

there for the individual player, supporter or smaller club who wants to take

a tour to play and /or watch rugby around the globe. One rugger Scott

spoke to said he had sent well over 500 emails trying to help coordinate just

one tour to Chile last year. So Scott started researching the internet finding

only large tour companies or those specializing in very few and certain

countries. Remember there are over 100 countries playing Rugby. So not all

countries were covered and again those companies specialized in serving

complete clubs typically.

That's when he started the RuckHeads Tour Club

(www.ruckheadstourclub.com) and has been having a blast ever

since, "Helping Rugby Fanatics Tour the World". So if your club or rugby

buddies never get it together to do a tour, RuckHeads Tour Club is the place

for you. The club’s mission is to bring together individual players,

supporters and/or partial teams--from anywhere--coordinate/organize them

into a full team, then tour playing and/or watching rugby around the world.

RuckHeads Tour Club will match you up with other ruggers/partial teams

and make your rugby travel desires a reality. What better way to meet new friends in rugby and travel the world playing/watching rugby with the best

people in the world? Ruggers!. If you have a location you want to tour, yet

need more numbers, give us a shout to help you make it happen. Even if

you’re not looking to travel until 2010 or beyond, sign up now and we’ll get

you on the list. Spaces are usually limited so don’t delay. The tour club is

free to join so you can stay on top of upcoming tours, and remember

RuckHeads Tour Club handles all the organization and coordination so all

you have to do is enjoy yourself!
