We did it!!! Our school rugby sevens' team are the NZ Intermediate Champions for 2011! Our team took part in the NZ AIMS games in Tauranga last week where we were one of 32 schools competing for the sevens' national title.

The team dominated the tournament with their elusive attacking and outstanding defence work. We were fortunate to have Gordan Tietjens, the most respected NZ Sevens' Team coach in the world, give our team and coaching staff, some helpful tips to win the tournament.

HI im Michael I really liked your video because you named all the players and there jersey numbers. I also liked the music that you put on.

Hi Michael,

This is a very belated reply but thank you for your supportive comment. I like how the players are introduced in the short movie clip too!

That's just the first of 3 parts of the movie about their tournament. The boys are now at high school this year, so you'll have to keep watching this blog to see our new, up and coming players.

Miss Va'afusuaga :)

Is New Zealand's main sport rugby? How about football/soccer? I love Football! American football is similar to rugby; rugby is the origin of American football.

Keep up the great work to all of you! Make your school, country, yourself, and teacher proud!
