XXL Rugby with Pagano
On Saturday night (25 Nov) get out those tight white shorts and prepare to be thrown to the floor in a scrum of delicious bears. As if that wasn’t reason enough to be at Pulse for XXL Rugby the other news is that our favourite Italian dish (sorry Nigella) DJ Pagano will be at the decks along with that winning team of residents. Result!
