2013WPFG: Touch Rugby Tournament

by

The Italian Fire Brigade dominated the World Police and Fire Games Touch Rugby tournament with Italian Fire 2 completing the competition unbeaten, claiming the Gold Medal with a 3 – 2 win against Italian Fire 1, after extra time, in an entertaining final.

It was a pity that the tournament suffered somewhat with the increased  popularity of TAG Rugby in the UK and Ireland with only two countries entering teams in the competition.

Italy put forward two side, the aforementioned Italian Fire 1 and 2 and Australia entered three sides with New South Wales representing the Fire Brigade, Victoria Vikings representing the Police and Adelaide based The Crow Eaters made up of members from both services.

With so few sides in the competition it was always going to be about the taking part, rather than the winning, but all the teams endeavoured to play entertaining matches in the round robin part of the competition.
