🏉 Get ready for a rugby weekend like no other! Rugby legends Alun Wyn Jones and Jonathan ‘Jiffy’ Davies are making a comeback on the field for a spectacular weekend event at Mumbles RFC. The Jimmy Crackers’ Sevens tournament is back, bigger and bolder for 2025, and it’s bringing a fresh twist with an Over-35s touch rugby tournament!
This exciting addition features over 150 players, including five British & Irish Lions and more than 20 international or regional players. 🦁🌍 Among the big names, you’ll see former Wales captain Jones, who retired as the most capped international player ever, and Jiffy, fresh off his latest charity cycle challenge.
Expect rugby action from the Mumbles 1st XV and youth fixtures kicking off the weekend. Plus, enjoy the unique musical treat as former Wales head coach Mike Ruddock swaps coaching for tunes with his band.
Come Sunday, the main event – The Jimmy Cracker’s Sevens – will take centre stage, featuring eight men’s, eight women’s, and 12 mixed touch teams.
Rugby stars are excited! Davies says, “It’s great to see Crackers back. The new over 35 Vets touch tournament really enhances the weekend.” And former Ireland international Jared Payne adds, “It’s clear to see the rugby community thriving.”
Even Richie Pugh, now taking part in the Vets touch, cherishes seeing his kids join the tournament fun. 🏉 Whether you’re a player or a fan, this weekend promises something special for everyone involved. Don’t miss out on the action-packed jam of rugby goodness in the heart of Mumbles! 🎉
