What does Sisu mean? sisu (stem sisu-*) Determination regardless of cost, persistence, strength, obstinacy, perseverance, willpower. This ethos embodies what we stand for as a club and mantra. You can often hear one the team members or coach shouting Sisu! As a rally call. We are a young team with the average age of players being at 20 and this makes us one of the few youth clubs in Finland. We are also at a disadvantage to other cities of Finland, in that we don’t have a college or university in our town so once our players go off to study they often end up playing for the big clubs in the cities...but their hearts remain with us...and their spirit of Sisu a tradition of our club lives on!

We are proud to be from Lahti.

Lahti Sisu RC is the underdog of Finnish rugby, we have a few players so we are always looking to assist and recruit rugby players who might want to enjoy the sport and become good rugby players. If you have come to the site for this reason please don’t hesitate to attend one of our training sessions and talk to some of the players or the coach..the door is always open and respect our Motto.
