The rugby team of Universitatea Cluj has received the invitation to play next year in the Superleague.

"We have accepted the invitation, even if we do not have a roster which is competitive enough. But if everyone brings its contribution, we can manage to stay in the Superleague", the new coach Neculai Nichitean said.

"Our medium term goal is to become one of the best four teams in the country", he added.

The new president of the rugby section of the club is Traian Scridon, a former basketball player. He will be helped by vicepresidents Marcu Valtar and Mihai Munteanu. Also, Raimonda Boian will be part of the staff. She will handle communication and marketing.
 
"I accepted this position because I felt that a teram with such tradition was about to perish. We hope we can cope with the situation. It is very difficult, but I will try to do my job as good as possible, to attract sponsors, and hope we can have a good championship. We start a new road with new people and charachter is the most important now", Traian Scridon said.    
Universitatea Cluj's rugby team is formed of young players. From last year's roster, only Mihai Cozma, Nicolae Barbu and Sergiu Buzea expressed their desire to leave.
