Suburbs Junior Rugby Sevens Tournament
Our Open Weight Rugby Sevens' Team won the Junior Rugby 7's Tournament that was played at the Avondale Racecourse fields on Monday the 11th of April, 2011. The event was organised by the Suburbs Rugby Union Club alongside the Auckland Rugby Union organisation.
Our Open Weight Team were undefeated in their pool section, beating De La Salle College and Kowhai Intermediate to make it through to the semi-finals. They faced Otahuhu Intermediate in the semi-finals and came away with a comfortable win. The grand final was against Kedgely Intermediate who were tough contenders but our team hung in there to win 12-10 in a thrilling grand final match. They played exceptionally well as a team which was the key to their success. We are so proud of them!
The team is now fundraising to play at the NZAIMS Intermediate National Sporting Championships in Tauranga. The 3-day competition will see them compete against the best Rugby 7's teams from around New Zealand.

The Auckland Rugby Union publishes them on their website, but they are a bit hard to find.
We have uploaded them here.
Hope you can read them!
More Rugby basics
This video is taken from a well known game :)
You will find this very easy to understand.
If you want to know about the offside rule, skip through this video to 1m 20 and watch closely as the man explains. You never need to get offside again!
Rugby for Beginners
This video was made to explain the game of rugby to Americans!
We think that lots of New Zealanders might even find this useful if they don't know much about rugby. What do you think?
