History

Spartacus Rugby Union Football Club was founded in 1968. At the driving seat were Göran Olsson, John Phelan and Willard Sartre. Back in those days, Spartacus only had a senior men’s team. The situation is the same today, but of recent years we have had successful ladies and youth teams also.

Today they have one senior team which is going through a generation change. The team mostly consists of players who have come up through the Spartacus “youth academy” but there is currently a strong foreign contingency within the club, with players from such major rugby nations as England, Ireland, France, New Zealand and Fiji. In early 2006, Spartacus acquired a new coach in the form of Jonas Ahl (who is also coach of the Swedish national ladies team) and with Ahl’s expert coaching and guidance, we gained promotion to Allsvenskan, the top league in Sweden.

Colours and Jumper

Spartacus wear a red and white hooped jersey (same as the Japanese National Team).

gollark: With the butterfly-weather-control example that's derived from, you can't actually track every butterfly and simulate the air movements resulting from this (yet, with current technology and algorithms), but you can just assume some amount of random noise (from that and other sources) which make predictions about the weather unreliable over large time intervals.
gollark: That seems nitpicky, the small stuff is still *mostly* irrelevant because you can lump it together or treat it as noise.
gollark: Why are you invoking the butterfly effect here?
gollark: That would fit with the general pattern of governments responding to bad things.
gollark: Apparently by texting numbers you can send payments, on mobile phones. What UTTER IDIOT thought that that was a good and secure idea?
