8 September 2011Singapore Women's 7s coach, Danny Tauroa, has made his team selection for the Asia Pacific Women's Sevens 2011 which will be held at the same time as the second leg of the Asian Rugby Seven Series in Borneo.
Singapore stunned Samoa and Tonga in last year's tournament with successive wins over the larger islander teams in the pool stages and the quarterfinals respectively before falling to Papua New Guinea in the semifinals last year. The republic narrowly lost out on third placing in a nail-biting sudden death Plate finals against The Cook Islands.
Kazakhstan, which prevailed over Papua New Guinea in the 2010 finals, is not expected at this year's tournament but competition still looks to be stiff with Asia Games silver medallists, China and fourth placed Hong Kong in the mix.
The Singapore team features four players from the Asian Games 2010 team and three 7s debutants Chloe Besanger, Lee Yi Tian and Lim Lee Lian.
