Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013 (Final Revision)

Published 30 June 2013 | By grootblousmile

Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013 was held in Moscow, Russia between 28-30 June. It was the sixth RWC Sevens and the second comprising a men’s and women’s tournament, following the event in Dubai in 2009.

Before this tournament, the defending men’s champions were Wales. Australia were the inaugural women’s champions.

New Zealand’s MEN and WOMEN’s sides won this tournament, completing an impressive double.

New Zealand 33 / 0 England (men)

New Zealand 29 / 12 Canada (women)

The men’s tournament in 2013 was made up of 24 teams and the women’s tournament comprised 16 teams. The men competed for the Melrose Cup, and the women for the Women’s Rugby World Cup trophy.

The inaugural RWC Sevens was held in 1993 in Scotland, the home of Rugby Sevens. The first Rugby Sevens game was held in Melrose, a small town in Scotland from which the men’s trophy gets its name.

A number of the teams who played in the men’s tournament took part in the HSBC Sevens World Series, whilst some of the women’s teams honed their sevens skills on the inaugural IRB Women’s Sevens World Series circuit, which kicked off in Dubai in November 2012.

Hy en die ander Stephan (Stefan Watermeyer) het so 2 jaar of meer terug saam vir die Bulls op senters gespeel.

Nie TE uitstekend as senter nie… het net daai ietsie gekort. Maar hy is nou al lank deel van die Blitzbokke!
