UAE. Young rugby players received a very special rugby training session today from Jason Leonard, one of most famous names in international rugby, and Jordan Turner-Hall, one of the game’s most promising young players, at the launch of the Etihad Harlequins Junior Rugby Festival in Abu Dhabi.

Jason, a World Cup winner with England and Jordan, England and Harlequins star, were joined by four professional coaches from Harlequins who are in Abu Dhabi to develop junior rugby in the UAE.

During the next four days more than 400 children between the ages of 7 and 14 will take part in the sessions on the rugby pitches at Al Ghazal Golf Club.

Etihad Airways is the main club sponsor for Harlequins who play in the Guinness Premiership in England.

The Etihad Airways Junior Rugby Festival has been well supported by several companies in Abu Dhabi. Etihad would like to thank HSBC as presenting sponsors plus Abu Dhabi Sports Council, ADAC and Park Inn, Al Ain Water.
