Description
Pennant, Asociatia Sportiva Constructorul Club, Bucharest 1954. Two tone gold with gold and red text and Locomotiva motif. Red and gold tassels and brown reverse side.
Info
This pennant was presented to Swansea RFC by the Constructorul Rugby Club Bucharest when they toured in Romania in August 1954. Swansea were thus the first western club to play behind the ‘Iron Curtain’. The second of two matches against this club was played on 24 September 1954 (won 16 – 5) at the Stade Dynamo (capacity 30,000). For more information on this historic tour, visit our "Education" section and see the two student projects on the 1954 tour to Romania.
