Spain is set to participate in the World Cup in Australia in 2027, a significant achievement for the country’s rugby team. Recently, four members of the Spanish rugby selection visited the Prince Gran Vía Theater to appear on the show “La Revuelta” hosted by David Broncano. Broncano, who has a fondness for rugby, shared his own experience with the sport, saying “I like it as an amateur, because as you will understand … I have no physique to play it.” He also recounted a story about trying out for a rugby team and being rejected for being too skinny.
The four rugby players who appeared on the show were able to recreate a game situation, which led to a memorable moment when Broncano asked if they would grant him a chance to play, jokingly referencing the trauma of being rejected from a rugby team years ago. The players agreed, and Broncano was able to participate in some key rugby plays, celebrating with the guests afterwards.
A milestone for Spanish rugby
The Spanish rugby team’s qualification for the World Cup is a significant milestone for the sport in the country. However, the team has faced challenges in the past, including two disqualifications from the World Cup due to issues outside of the field. The players recognize that this has been hard for Spanish sport, particularly given the team’s limited resources. As one player noted, “The six nations? It is a closed club and we don’t have so much money yet.” Despite these challenges, the team is looking forward to competing in the World Cup and continuing to grow and improve.
