The many sports represented at this event include hockey, cricket, squash, badminton, lacrosse, rowing, golf, American Football, fencing as well as an array of martial arts. The event is held over the course of a week with a crescendo in the cauldron of the Wales Millennium Stadium on Wednesday evening with the centrepiece rugby match. Over 15,500 spectators attended last year’s match.
