THE CONCEPT Rugby 7s is a variation on Rugby XVs in which teams are made up of seven players rather than the usual 15, with shorter matches, fewer players on the same sized pitch! Rugby sevens is administered by the International Rugby Board (IRB), the body responsible for Rugby Union worldwide. The game originated in Melrose, Scotland, and is popular at all levels, particularly in the women’s game considered as having the most potential for growth and development at high performance levels. The IRB organised its first official women's sevens tournament outside of the World Cup as part of the 2011 Dubai Sevens. Women's rugby sevens was also included in the IRB's successful bid to reintroduce rugby to the Olympics in 2016. It is also bidding for inclusion in the Commonwealth Games in 2018. Women’s Rugby has recently been included as part of the IRB 7s circuit alongside them men. Las Vegas 7s just hosted their first IRB 7s series for both men and women. Amsterdam 7s hosted its first IRB Women’s Seven’s circuit last May 2013. Hence it is high time to raise the level of the game in the developing rugby nations of Europe. With this in mind, a Women’s Regional Rugby 7s League shall be re-established, giving the region’s best teams and players the chance to improve more gradually and eventually reaching world level.
THE PARTICIPANTS The new and improved Women’s Regional Rugby 7s League shall consist of six to eight high level teams that are to play against each other in one group. The top three or four teams of the regular season qualify for the knock-out stage to be played in two semi-finals and a final game. The final will be hosted at alternating venues over the years. The 2013/2014 final will be staged in Vienna. Flag Country Population Team Grounds Austria Austrian Selection Czech Rep. Croatia Hungary Hungary Slovakia Poland Romania?
