Yann DELAIGUE, former international Rugby player (20 caps, 3 French Championships titles, one European Championship title) and already organizer of several Beach Rugby Tournaments, reiterates and creates with his partner, Stéphane ROUAULT, a new form of Rugby, the 'Snow Rugby'.
He had the idea for the 'Tournoi des 6 Stations' during Ski Holidays. Beyond the sport, Yann DELAIGUE realized first and foremost that rugby and mountain shared the same values : solidarity, team spirit, friendliness, respect and sharing. Rather than just a match, he had the idea to organize a proper tournament, inspired by the mythical 6 Nations Tournament, with teams composed of amateurs and former international players.
