Good news

Swiss squad at http://www.suisserugby.com/uploads/tx_n ... C_2015.pdf

[Canalina Profile]

Russia lead Switzerland 12-10 at the beginning of the second half (two tries each I think)

Belgium defeated Czech Rep. 20-3 in the first match

I really don't like artificial fields in rugby

Switzerland d. Russia 27-12 at the end!

[Ser Podrick of Payne Profile]

2 yellow cards against Russia.

[Canalina Profile]

Russia v Czech Rep 41-15 in the third place final
Seven tries to two, I think. At the end of the first half, 12-3; then a lot of tries in the second half

In an hour the cup final

And Belgium won 50 - 20 against the hosts.

Hello,

Why Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, Spain don't participate in this competition ????

It was a qualificate round for Women World Cup or no ?????

[NedRugby Profile]

It was not a qualifying tournament. The reasons why other countries did not compete may vary, but probably a combination of (a) lack of funds and (b) concentration on 7s.

[sckual Profile]

Thank you very much for the reponse.

Hello,

Why Sweden, Netherlands, Germany, Spain don't participate in this competition ????

It was a qualificate round for Women World Cup or no ?????

Reasons for not taking part:

Sweden and Netherlands - financial
Germany - German RFU does not support a national women's XVs (partly for financial reasons)
Spain - sevens preparation, and looking for better opposition - ie. they are playing Scotland this month.

Has this happened again since then? (almost 3 years have passed and I cannot remember something similar, other than the occasional friendly game)

[Armchair Fan Profile]

Huh? We had one last February/March.

[Raven Profile]

Huh? We had one last February/March.

I apologize, the change of names being with it the same tournament created a bit of a confusion, I was under the impression that the tournament involving Belgium, Netherlands, Germany and Spain had a different name...

perhaps I should reformulate my question to a; are Switzerland, the Czech Republic and Russia involved in some other tournament? and, is there more women´s teams out there investing in XVs?

[Thomas Profile]

Are talking here the European Trophy XVs? As far as I can see there are no many tournaments unless John Birch can confirm, in fact as he has stated before XV tournaments are becoming less and less.

[Armchair Fan Profile]

Yeah, it was discussed in a different topic after they published in Scrumqueens that Trophy was canned
