• Ito has become the fifth captain of Lviv, having led the team to victory in the series against Australia.
• In 2027, the first women's tour of Lviv will take place, opening new opportunities for women in rugby.
• MacBride and Ito highlighted the importance of the victory in rugby and the fall of Lviv.

A unique moment in the history of rugby occurred when Maro Ito became the captain of Lviv, leading the team to victory in the series against Australia. This event has become significant not only for Ito but also for former captain Wylie John MacBride, who was captain of Lviv in 1974.

MacBride, who at 85 years old remains a living legend, expressed his excitement for Ito, noting that winning the series in the southern hemisphere has always been challenging. He emphasized that the victory always brings immense pride, regardless of changes in the game.

In turn, Ito acknowledged that for him, a great part of being a captain is related to such iconic figures. He expressed hope that Lviv will complete the series with victory in the third match, which would also be the first time since 1974 when Lviv wins three matches in a row in the tournament.

In addition, the historic moment will be the first women's tour of Lviv in 2027, as announced by former player Deni "Nollie" Uterman. She stressed that this opens new opportunities for young girls and players, inviting them to become part of a great sporting tradition.

Uterman expressed enthusiasm regarding the possibility of creating their own history for women's rugby, stressing the importance of supporting and developing women's games to attract more viewers and create emotional moments.

Thus, Lviv, like men and women, have a unique opportunity to leave their mark in the history of rugby, uniting the past and future of this sport.
