South End Core, the Maltese group of ultras or hardcore supporters, will be backing up the men who will be laying their bodies on the line for their country against Poland on Saturday, 10th May 2008 at the Hibernians Stadium. Malta enjoyed a spectacular 16 – 13 victory over Latvia on the 17th of November of last year.

Legend has it that during a football match in a place called Rugby school in Warwickshire, England, a player picked up the ball and ran forward with it, leading the other players to chase him and tackle him. Thus, rugby football was born.
The madness of rugby is infectious from the first kick. The main objective of the game is the seemingly simple task of moving a ball forward on a dirt track, but on the pitch this is transformed into a fast paced, hard hitting sport which brings together fitness, teamwork, speed and skill.
