According to IRFU?s General Manager, Aaron Meadows, UPH?s Soccer Field was chosen as their practice area for their good quality which is almost equivalent to Senayan?s soccer field.
On Friday (26/6), UPH?S Soccer Field was also chosen to host IRFU Rhinos 2009 Selection Trial ? a try-out for Rhinos players to determine those who will represent Indonesia?s rugby in the coming international match. England?s legendary rugby ex-player, Rory Underwood also came to help training these players.
