Top in 5 Asian Women's 7s feature youth at AYG 2013

16 August 2013

Asia’s women's rugby powerhouses will feature the talent coming through their ranks when their U17 teams run out on the Youth Oylmpic Sports Park in Nanjing this weekend at 2nd Asian Youth Games.

It will be the first time rugby sevens features in the multi-sport Asian event since the Olympic decision. Its inclusion will no doubt prepare the hosts to stage the running of an international rugby sevens tournament for the 2014 Youth Olympic Games to be held in what is regarded as one of the four great ancient capitals of China.

The five women's teams from China, Japan, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong and Thailand reflect the top five placed teams in the senior women's sevens circuit currently and is a testament to the home unions’ commitment to the development of women’s rugby in their respective countries.

The Singapore Rugby National Women's XV 2013 League Finals will be played out between Bedok RFC and Blacks RFC who have met in nearly every final since the inception of the women's XV league in 2007.

The four-team league includes Bucks RFC (3rd) and Malaysia's Royal Selangor Club (RSC) (4th) and is played over two rounds with fixtures played in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

RSC have improved from their first round and will be disappointed that the final standings will not reflect the advances they have made through the league due to a walkover in round 2.

Bedok are top of the league with two walkover games in the second round and will be heading into the finals with an edge having won the game in their last game against Blacks.

The Women's Finals (5pm) will be played after the Men's Conference (1pm) and Championship (3pm) Finals and before the Premiership Finals (7pm) at CCAB, Evans Road.

Singapore Announce 7s Squad for Hong Kong

8 March 2013

Singapore announced their National Women's 7s Squad for the Hong Kong Women's Sevens 2013 which will run alongside the men's Hong Kong Sevens.

Despite having been passed over by IRB as a venue for hosting the Women's Sevens World Series, the Hong Kong Women's Sevens has been the premier international women's sevens event for the past 15 years and the young Singapore squad will be sure to face stiff competition from some world class women's teams who will be stopping over in Hong Kong enroute to Guangzhou for the third leg of the Women's Sevens World Series.

Australia, the United States, Canada, South Africa and the Netherlands have confirmed that they will be taking part. Hosts Hong Kong, Japan, Kazakhstan, Singapore and France make up the rest of the competition, which will be played at Hong Kong Football Club. The Cup final will be played at Hong Kong Stadium on the opening night of the Cathay Pacific/HSBC Hong Kong Sevens.
