Worcester to defend Tens title

Looks like the final piece is in place for the (Not the RFUW) National 10s with the news that the reigning U18 champions will be defending their title. Its great to see them taking part - no national tournament could be complete without them, and also we still need to beat them!

They will be joined by a second Welsh side - Cardiff Quins (who are, incidentally desparate for fixtures - Quinsgirls@aol.com - which raises interesting tour possibilities), so we are pretty near the limit now... assuming everyone pays up!

And my apologies to Drybrook, U15 National Champions (and finalists the previous year). In my defence I have to say that the publication of the results from girls (or, come to that, women's) competitions has always been a bit hit-and-miss. Even when reports are published one of the features/delights of the RFU/RFUW's website is the way that stories from years ago seem to keep appearing at the top of the headline list while more recent stories vanish after a day or so never to appear again. Last time I checked there was a report from the National Sevens on the top page... National Sevens 2006 that is! You'd be hard pressed to find a list of English women's and girls' tournament winners anywhere (although the one on the Worcester blog is fairly comprehensive!).
