Rugby season kicks off at Wellington!

20 Oct 2015
Last Sunday Wellington’s U.13 and U.11 Rugby teams enjoyed a fantastic morning of rugby at BISS Puxi. They had the unique opportunity to have a coaching session from Ben Gollings who is the former England 7’s captain and record points scorer of all time in the 7’s game. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience and took full advantage of this opportunity. The U.13 team played against the Shanghai Bandits after the training session, in what was a highly competitive game. Both teams played some expansive rugby and it was a real pleasure to watch. Wellington ended up coming out victorious in the end with a 10-5 win. There were many outstanding performances, notably Captain Mats Ceyssens who led by example and competed well at the breakdown. Sam Ceyssens and Louis Flint were also a constant threat with both crossing the white wash for a try. Also many congratulations to Cameron and Alex for making their debut for the college in what was their first ever competitive game. The U.11’s played two games one against the Bandits, which ended in draw. Both teams played well and Captain George Flint was impressive with his elusive running and Tommaso Colombo was very committed in the tackle area. In the second match the boys came up against a very strong Japanese side and they lost by a couple of tries. Overall the boys played really well and they should be proud of their performance. Big congratulations to Felix, Jason and Brendan on their first game of rugby. We look forward to hosting the next tournament on the 15th November and I hope to see you on the touchline soon.
