Ragbi Centar Rudeš, Zagreb  | 29. november 2025.

This weekend brings a real treat for rugby fans - the Lions will host a strong and experienced opponent on their home turf, the Split Rugby Club Nada. The match is scheduled for Saturday, November 29, and a tough, dynamic, and unpredictable battle right down to the final minute is expected.

The previous round has only added fuel to the fire ahead of this clash. Nada defeated Mladost on their home pitch, proving once again that they remain a team capable of delivering big performances when it matters most. On the other side, Zagreb suffered a loss in a difficult away match in Sinj, played in conditions that prevented them from executing their game plan. Still, although the Lions came up short in Sinj, the defeat motivated them to review their mistakes during the week and work intensively on the aspects of their game that could give them the edge on Saturday.

This match carries special significance for both teams.

• Nada aims to capitalize on their momentum and extend their winning streak, reaffirming themselves as one of the main contenders for the championship.

• Zagreb, playing in front of their home crowd, is chasing a victory that would keep them in the title race while also restoring confidence after a demanding away match.

The Lions are ready to impose their tempo, correct the organizational issues that surfaced against Sinj, and make the most of their home-field advantage. Throughout the week, the team has focused on more aggressive defense, faster defensive line speed, and greater discipline in transition, fully aware that every mistake against Nada can be costly.

All eyes are on this match, which could easily become one of the key turning points of the season. Will Split’s Nada continue their winning run, or will Zagreb bare their teeth in front of their supporters and seize the initiative in the battle for the top?

One thing is certain — a true rugby spectacle awaits.

Come support our boys, fill the stands, and show what it means to play at home in front of your own fans! The Lions are ready to give everything they’ve got, and your support could be crucial in securing important points and staying in the title race.

See you at Rudeš!
