Malta Rugby
Rugby began to be played in Malta right after the end of the Second World War when the Overseas Rugby Club was established in 1946. Overseas Rugby Club membership was made up of British, Maltese and Commonwealth servicemen and civilians who took part in games played against the Royal Navy, the Royal Air Force and Army teams stationed in, or visiting Malta over subsequent decades.
Two Maltese colleges founded rugby teams during the 1970s; these colleges being St. Edwards College and Tal-Handaq College.

Malta, being a Mediterranean country is a nation of red-blooded men with a fiery Latin temperament, combined with charm and good looks. The Maltese typically have a mixture of genes caused by the islands being inhabited by several seafaring cultures, such as the Phoenicians, Arabs, Spanish and French. This was then further added to when the islands became a British colony in 1800. You will find many Maltese men with dark hair, skin and eyes, but this combination may vary, with some Maltese having blue, green or hazel eyes, fair skin and blonde or red hair. This could be an indication of some northern European genes being in the family!
To many, The Knights of Malta are men shrouded in the mists of time and the mere mention of this ancient order conjures up images of a band of men wearing a swashbuckling uniform, living a life of chivalry, defending the Christian faith against Muslim attacks, attending balls and revelling at Carnival. Many theories abound as to the true nature of their activities and some claim that The Knights of Malta were linked to an Illuminati conspiracy; others claim that they were simply a federal association of a right-wing faction of the Catholic Church, similar in some ways to The Knights Templar.
Malta is an island steeped in history and culture, with steep cliffs tumbling into the sea, golden beaches and a sea that’s a dazzling aquamarine, just like in the movies. Infact, the sea that you have seen on the screen could well be that surrounding Malta, as many feature-films have been made on the island, using the dramatic landscape as a backdrop for several blockbusters.
Swinging – or the swinging lifestyle – is a reference to non-exclusive sexual activity that’s usually experienced as a couple, and in the recent past it was often referred to as “wife-swapping”.
