— Rugby means a lot to me, this sport is directly related to my family. Today I talked with my father, uncle. My uncle played for Spain with Russia here. I love rugby very much. This is a men’s sport where there is a fight for every centimeter of the field. I said that I would definitely watch the matches of the rugby Spartak, – said Abascal in an interview with the club’s press service.
