Editorial Note: Thanks to Polistas for supporting the 2015 International Test Series. Since 2010, this Test Match Series, sponsored by Polistas, has attracted acclaim in the USA
and is a very popular event in the SUPA University fixture. The series was won in 2015 by SUPA in California and the US I/I at Rugby in 2014. The USA are always very keen, and SUPA equally competitive in this "special" polo relationship.
The 2016 International Test Series with the USA Intercollegiate All-Stars
facing off against the SUPA Universities will be held at Rugby Polo Club from the 11th-14th February. Please do come and watch.
