Rugby Night

In other news, on March 22, the Euskal Etxea celebrated a Rugby Night, to watch the match between France and England at the Tournament of Six Nations.  Rugby is the most followed sport in France and the Euskal Etxea that is very close to the stadium was full to the rafters.

The Basque club prepared a full program to entertain those presents: the festivities began at 8 with a concert of music from Brittany by the Bagad Pariz band.  Afterwards the match was shown, and after the game concluded, at around 11pm, Bagad Pariz played again.

The night was long, and the Txaranga Peña Pamplonica took over for the group from Brittany to end the night dancing until dawn to the music of DJ Nesho.  As Maitane Larronde, member of the club, told EuskalKultura.com, “The club was filled to the rafters, it was a very successful night.  There were a lot of people watching the match and afterwards, even more because the clubhouse is very close to the stadium!”
