G1RA Press Box stated their joy of seeing German players being signed to non G1RA teams. “It really is a sign for us, that our players has been recognized on the world stage, when they are drafted from elsewhere.
We wish Lukas Wende a great time in Cardiff and I will surely be monitoring his development in the future” said the former German National coach and G1RA CEO.
“The back row is also an area where the national squad will need some bolstering in the future. Seeing that no G1RA teams will be facing the Cardiff team in a regular match, Lukas wont have the chance to compete against some of his fellow countrymen.
A friendly match between Cardiff and Berlin could change that though and give the Cardiff players a chance to see the beautiful city Berlin and experience our new home in the Olympic Stadium.”
