The BARA rugby team has evolved from the
previously named South Asia Bulls and it
draws to its ranks players with South Asian
heritage as well as players from other racial
and cultural backgrounds. The team truly
represents the multi-cultural diversity
that is prevalent in British Society. The
BARA Rugby Team regularly brings together
players from all four corners of the British
Isles, from both codes of rugby.
In June 2005, the BARA rugby team played
its first high profile game against the
British Zions (British Jewish Rugby Team)
at Broughton Park RFC, in which BARA triumphed
21 – 17.
In October 2005, the BARA rugby team embarked
on its first ever international tournament
in Mumbai, India. The All India & South
Asian Championships comprised of twelve
teams from India, plus two guests teams,
ourselves, and the Lahore RFC. After three
tremendous wins to reach the finals, the
BARA rugby team were victorious 27 - 10
against a defiant Bangalore RFC. The visit
to India was part of BARA’s continuing
strategy to strengthen its links with South
Asia and this was further enhanced when
we delivered a coaching clinic for school
teachers, visited a school and delivered
an interactive coaching session on the beech
which was open to one & all.
