In an unforgettable moment for Indian rugby, the Delhi Hurricanes Rugby Football Club had the rare and incredible honor of welcoming one of the sport’s modern greats—Nicolás Sánchez, Argentina international and rugby legend, to our training grounds in New Delhi.
Known worldwide for his playmaking brilliance and leadership on the field, Sánchez—@nicofsanchezz—has inspired rugby fans across the globe. But on this special day, he wasn’t just a visiting icon. He rolled up his sleeves, laced up his boots, and joined our training session.
From the moment he stepped onto the field, there was a buzz in the air. His presence was magnetic, and his humility even more so. Rather than observing from the sidelines, Sánchez got involved directly, engaging with our players, running drills, offering real-time feedback, and generously sharing his elite-level rugby experience.
For our players—across all squads: men’s, women’s, and youth—this was more than a training session. It was a masterclass. From tactical strategies to subtle technical skills, Nicolás Sánchez gave insights that only a veteran of the international stage could provide. Every tip, every word, and every interaction was soaked up with enthusiasm and gratitude.
One of the most emotional and symbolic moments of the day was the Jersey Exchange—a time-honored rugby tradition that goes beyond the game. It represents mutual respect, shared values, and the warrior spirit of rugby. Seeing our players exchange jerseys with Sánchez was a powerful moment that captured the heart of the sport: respect, humility, and unity.
The excitement didn’t stop there. After the training, every Delhi Hurricanes team member had the opportunity to meet the legend, share stories, and of course, click a photo with him. These weren’t just fan moments—they were memories that will stay with our players for a lifetime. From wide-eyed junior players to seasoned senior team members, everyone left with inspiration in their hearts and smiles on their faces.
This visit wasn’t just a proud moment for our club—it was a celebration of how far Indian rugby has come, and where it can go. Having someone of Nicolás Sánchez’s stature engage so deeply with our players speaks volumes about the spirit of the game and the global rugby brotherhood.
We extend our deepest gratitude to @nicofsanchezz for his warmth, wisdom, and generosity. Your visit reminded us why we love this sport—and gave our players a vision of what’s possible through hard work, passion, and dedication.
Here’s to more such moments, more international collaborations, and a stronger future for rugby in India.
