    Games: Basketball out, rugby in

    About 7,000 athletes from 11 countries are on their way to the Philippines to participate in the 23rd Southeast Asian Games which begin on November 27. A total of 441 gold medals are at stake in 41 events.

    In a dramatic turnaround by Philippine standards, however, basketball will not be in the program for the first time ever – and rugby will be a part of the SEA Games for the first time.

    Basketball-crazy Philippines has yanked the sport from the upcoming Games for the first time in the history of the bi-annual sports event. The Philippine Olympic Committee has canceled hoops after failing to secure backing from the International Basketball Federation.

    The loss of the country’s favorite sport follows months of infighting and political bickering among the sport’s local administrators. FIBA in June banned the Philippine team from tournaments it sanctions after the POC expelled the local Basketball Association of the Philippines, the sole member association recognized by the world sporting body.
    POC chairman Roberto Aventajado said the expulsion of the BAP is meant to pave the way for reorganization of the country's basketball program, after poor performances of national teams in past international tournaments.

    Mr Aventajado said the BAP has failed to spur the growth of basketball, considered a national sport in this former American colony. "From a powerhouse 20 years ago, we are now cellar-dwellers. Countries which we used to beat easily have been beating us by over 40 or 60 points."
    However, the upcoming SEA Games represent the official arrival of rugby at the SEA Games. The seven-a-side version of rugby will be played in Manila over the weekend of December 3-4 after the POC have the go-ahead for the Philippine Rugby Football Union to run a rugby sevens tournament as a site sport.

    Rugby teams from the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Papua New Guinea, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Laos and Cambodia are expected to take part in the two-day tournament. The Philippines has the largest contingent with 743 competing athletes.

    The Philippine government authorities have promised extra tight security around all Games venues – which are spread out in several cities - as a precaution against possible terrorist attacks. Even the possibility of bird flu is being looked at, and all arriving athletes will be specially screened against the deadly virus.

    Got the joke have decided not to give this any credit and educate you on the capacity of Rugby to help Poor Filipino Children's lives instead of destroy it.

    To use the pun "Rugby is being used to save Street Kids from Rugby":

    http://travel.go2phil.com/hth/mar2004/

    Would you believe that the Bahay Bata Children’s Center rugby team was invited to the Alabang Country Club in Manila last 14 Feb to compete in a youth rugby tournament and they emerged as the champions? What a proud bunch of boys they were and these are lads that did not know what rugby was when they were abandoned on the streets of Angeles City not too many months ago. Thanks to the facilities offered at the Hidden Vale Sports Club and the many dedicated hours of coaching by Sports Director, Damien, a fine boy’s team was developed. This was their taste of competition and all who saw them perform were surprised and very impressed. Folks, whenever you visit Angeles City please take the time to visit this Children’s Center and don’t worry about how to get there, contact me, at the Hotel Las Casa or Mark Smith at the Road House and we will be glad to get you out there. The boys love to see visitors and we need your support to keep this worthwhile project going. Any donation is appreciated, whether it is money, clothes, books, toiletries, non-prescriptions medicines or just your time.

    Fat Boys 10s Rugby Tournament, 27 August 2005, in Aid of Angeles Bahay Bata Center

    Tanner De Witt is sponsoring the Second International Invitational Fat Boys 10s rugby tournament, which takes place at Clark Air Base, Pampanga, Philippines on 27 August 2005. All proceeds will go to the Angeles Bahay Bata Center and the Philippines Rugby Union Development Fund.

    Last year's inaugural event raised HK$95,000, and the target for this year is HK$150,000. Members of the Tanner De Witt partnership will be travelling to the event to present a cheque.

    The Bahay Bata Center, in Cuayan, Angeles City, is a children's home established in 1999 by the Rotary Club of Clark Centennial to offer shelter to street children, many of whom suffer from physical, emotional and other abuse, neglect and drug addiction. The project now includes a 60-bed dormitory, a six-room school, medical and dental clinic, and a half-way house for the newly admitted.

    Hi

    From all the emails I get from Trevor & Jay it sounds like the same routine. But they're a tad more serious now with weight training also at a local Fitness First biggrin.gif

    Game days still on Saturday.

    Are you an expat or Pinoy?

    Re: RUGBY UNION IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!!!

    Interesting article from the Indonesian perspective of the Rugby game in the Philippines prior to the event. Mind you there wasn't an article in The Jakarta Post to report on the result of the match. Which is understandable because WE KICKED THEIR BEHINDS!!!! biggrin.gif But again this is an article providing insight into Indonesian Rugby.

    But atleast they got an article the PRFU team even being the host country and winner got no local press and it was an offifial SEA games site sport.

    National rugby team going places

    Sports News - November 23, 2005
    The Jakarta Post, Jakarta

    The national "White Rhinos" charge into rugby union history next week, becoming the first all-national team to play a series of matches in the Philippines.
    The matches, held as an exhibition during the 23rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games from Nov. 27-Dec. 5, could lead to it becoming an official medal sport by 2007. The new Rhino emblem, the national captain and the run-on team will be introduced at a fundraising dinner at Aphrodite Club in Kuningan, South Jakarta, on Saturday night. The dinner is open to the public at a cost of Rp 200,000 per person.

    "This is an enormous honor and obviously a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these players to become the first team of Indonesians to represent their nation," Indonesian Development Rugby (IDR) spokesman Geoffrey Atkinson said in a release.

    "Outside soccer, rugby is the biggest football code in the world and the past 12 months has seen an explosion of interest in the game at a local level. Our men may lack the experience of some of the other sides in the region that have been playing together for years, but they are determined and have been training hard."

    The 16-man squad from Jakarta, Papua, Kalimantan and Maluku go through an intensive training camp at Senayan in Jakarta this week under a Bahasa speaking coach from Singapore. The 7-a-side series in the Philippines will be a curtain-raiser to the SEA Games.

    Saturday night's fundraiser also sees the New Zealand All Blacks try and create their own history as they go for the final leg of a European Grand Slam in a televised match against Scotland.

    The Rhinos head for the Philippines with the full support of National Sports Council; Indonesia has already received "observer status" from the International Rugby Board and two months ago applied for full recognition.

    "We hope this tournament will spark interest in other Indonesian provinces so we can soon be fully recognized at an international level," Atkinson added.
    The squad was selected in Bali last month after an annual international 10-a-side tournament which went ahead despite the second Bali bombings.

    The Jakarta Bantengs -- in their first year in the competition against sides from Singapore, Australia, Taipei and Guam -- won the IDR runner's-up plate. The same weekend, the first 12 Indonesians received Level 1 Coaching Accreditation through a course run by representatives of Singapore Rugby Union.

    "With 220 million people in Indonesia, we have the potential to be the best in Asia," Atkinson said. "But we have to spread the game to every corner of the country. We have to introduce rugby at junior and school levels -- this is the only way to grow. We are continuously on the lookout for people interested in expanding the code and new sponsorship is vital."

    IDR receives financial backing from multinational construction company Thiess and Digital 1, part of the KabelVision Network, but the game still has a way to go here.

    "In Singapore, Thailand and other Asian countries, where rugby has been established for more than a decade, the game is run by full-time professionals -- which include coaching and administrative staff working off multimillion dollar budgets. We would like to head down the same path as Singapore," Atkinson said.

    "In a decade they have become an Asian rugby force behind Japan and Korea. But, like us, they started with very little."

    Indonesian rugby flag flies the flag in international debut

    Geoffrey Atkinson, The Jakarta Post/Jakarta

    Indonesia is set to be awarded full membership in the Asian Rugby Football Union (ARFU) following a historic silver-medal performance in the exhibition games played in conjunction with the 23rd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games in Manila last weekend.

    It was the first time a full national team has represented Indonesia, and also the first full international to be played on Philippine soil.

    "This is a great honor and a giant step forward for Indonesian rugby," said Indonesian Development Rugby (IDR) president Andrew Nugroho on his return from the seven-a-side tournament in Manila. "It reflects the hard work of the committee and the dedication of our Indonesian players whose efforts on the field have made all this possible. We are extremely proud of them."

    Indonesia's ARFU status will be ratified at the All-Asian body's annual meeting in Lahore, Pakistan, next week and comes less than two years after Indonesian Development Rugby (IDR) was formed in Jakarta. The Lahore meeting will be attended by IDR secretary Bill Ryan.

    The Philippine exhibition tournament -- which brought together 12 teams from around the region -- is expected to see rugby football receive official SEA Games status before 2007 in Thailand.

    "We are hopeful as a full national team that we will be in the medal running," Andrew said.

    Only Indonesia and the Philippines managed to field full national sides last weekend. Both Singapore and Macau had entered national teams, but where made up predominantly by expatriate players. The tournament was won by Borneo who fielded six, full-time rugby professionals from Fiji in the finals. They beat the Singapore Barbarians 50-5.

    In the national final the Philippines beat Indonesia 27-5. The 16-man Indonesian squad had players from West Irian, Jakarta, Kalimantan and North Maluku. All players received field time in the five matches played on the weekend.

    "Bringing together players from all over Indonesia is our major challenge," said Andrew. "We are trying to establish regional competitions in as many provinces as possible and concentrate on rugby at school and junior levels."
    All of this will take funding and manpower.

    "Indonesia has a mighty rugby nursery -- the trick for us will be establishing teams, providing coaching and facilities all over the nation and then gathering them together under one umbrella for national matches," Andrew said.

    "The vast distances and costs of air travel and accommodation mean we have a lot to work on." Indonesian rugby is an amateur organization run by a committee that donates its time for free.

    They are sponsored by multinational construction company Thiess and the Kabelvision cable network.

    With acceptance to the ARFU, Indonesia is expected to form the Indonesia Rugby Football Union (IRFU) now operating under the IDR banner. The IDR will continue to assist with development of national players and juniors, but the IRFU will take over full responsibility for the running of the game in Indonesia.

    "We are now in a league of nations where rugby is largely administered and coached by full-time professionals from around the globe," Andrew said. "We are hoping businesses and individuals in Indonesia will be part of our growing support base. It's a big challenge but it's a challenge we are looking forward to."

    Indonesia's next major international is expected to be at the 2006 Asia Rugby Championships in Sri Lanka.

    Re: RUGBY UNION IN THE PHILIPPINES!!!!!

    PHILIPPINES RUGBY FOOTBALL NEWS - JANUARY 2006

    The Cebu tourney is now postponed - new date to be advised. But Nomads will be going to Cebu on Feb 18/19 for 10-a-side games as part of the PRFU 10's League and also development coaching for Cebu by the Nomads Coach Alan McConnell. The Nomads team plan to play the official fixture then have some special coaching of both teams followed by some more training games with teams of players mixed from both sides.

    Also there will be Brent School 10's Tournament on Feb 4. All schools involved - Brent, ISM , Faith Academy and MAAP at Junior Varsity and Varsity levels plus Girls Touch teams from all schools and the Nomads Ladies Touch team. The latter was formed only a year ago and now has about 35 registered players - almost all Filipinas with ages ranging from 16 - 42. And many of them are wives and mothers! So it’s not just a game for the guys!! Even better they are promoting the sport by marketing their own 2006 calendar called the Girls of Touch. It’s only P500 and a great buy, plus proof positive that rugby players can be beautiful! For more info on this contact Claire Barberis at ccbarberis@primesoft.com or simply buy one at Nomads Sports Club, in Merville, Paranaque . Check out www.nomadsportsclub.com for location.

    The Nomads Ladies played in their first international tournament last week hosted at International School Manila. It was won by a well-drilled team from the International School Bangkok. That team had an excellent mix of talent including Thai, Malay, Indian, American and European girls. They were established 3 years ago and are one of the top school girls teams in Asia.

    More good news!!. Recent promotion of the game to the Sports Faculty at the University of the Philippines (UP) in Diliman by Nomad's Coach Alan McConnell has resulted in their agreement to form a UP Touch Rugby Club. Alan will do the coaching initially while also training other Sports Faculty staff how to coach the game. Interest is high with about 60 students attending the first briefing session and these were about 65% girls and 35% guys. Go UP!!

    The next tournament coming up in the Philippines is the Alabang 10's on 4 March - contact Matt Cullen ALABANG EAGLES, mattcullen67@hotmail.com for registration.

    The world famous AMEC Manila 10's, hosted by Nomads Sports Club will be held on 24/25/26 March. There will be 32 teams vying for honours and having lots of rugby fun over that weekend. Sorry guys, its too late to register for this year now - they were fully subscribed by last August. But you can come as a spectator, probably get in game or two guesting for one of the teams and enjoy the fiesta atmosphere. Register for 2007 on www.manila10s.com . Do it NOW and beat the rush!

    Cheers

    Cool...Rugby is a good sport, pretty much the same as football, well sort of, but still its an awesome sport.
    "But then of course everything always happens for a reason
    I guess it was never meant to be
    But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is
    But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep
    Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream"

    The tournament opener is the big Manila 10s lunch on Friday March 24 in the Philippine Plaza hotel ballroom – a drawn-out lunch with flowing drinks, guest speeches and interviews, rugby trivia contest, competitions, raffles and memorabilia auction. Guest rugby stars this year are Nick Farr-Jones representing Australia’s Wallabies, John Bentley from England and Stu Wilson for New Zealand’s All Blacks.

    Joining the lunch costs US$55 per person – or $1,200 for a corporate box which includes catering for 10 people with a fancier menu with a choice of wine or champagne, an exclusive TV monitor and waiter, in a box decorated in team colors, and promotional acknowledgements.
