2013-ban Moszkvában lesz a következő Hetes Világbajnokság. Szerintem nem lesz annyira közönségsikeres - annak ellenére, hogy az orosz válogatott egyre jobb lesz -, mint a dubai volt. http://rugby.ru/en/news/id_855/ Mellesleg most van a FIRA Hetes Európa Bajnokság Döntője (férfi és női) szintén Moszkvában, születtek azért elég furcsa eredmények is. Hajrá finn lányok! :o :) http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/competition_detail.php?compet=165 http://www.fira-aer-rugby.com/competition_detail.php?compet=156
Ja és van magyar vonatkozású hetes esemény is, ugyanis hamarosan kezdődik a 4. Egyetemi Hetes VB Portóban, ahol a magyar válogatott is részt vesz! Elvileg lesz élő stream is a tornáról! http://rugbyporto.blogspot.com/ http://www.rugby2010.up.pt/ http://rugby.hu/hirek/2010/07/10/irany-az-egyetemi-rogbi-vb http://uni.rugby.hu/?oldal=hirek&hir=11

Sevens az Olimpán !
Rugby wins Olympic vote Thu, 13 Aug 2009 15:39
Sevens, along with golf, are set to appear at the 2016 Olympic Games, after an International Olympic Committee (IOC) executive board vote on Thursday.
The decision, taken by secret ballot, is not binding as it has to be rubber-stamped by the entire IOC membership in a vote in Copenhagen in October - if successful it would take the amount of sports to 28.
The International Rugby Board (IRB) said in a statement on Thursday it is "delighted" that the IOC Executive Board has recommended Sevens as one of two sports for inclusion in the Olympic Games.
Bernard Lapasset, President of the IRB, said: "We would like to thank the IOC Executive Board for selecting Sevens from what are seven strong and diverse sports.
"We recognise the significance of this milestone in our campaign but are also mindful that the ultimate decision rests with the IOC members when they meet in Copenhagen on October 9.
"The Olympic Games would be the pinnacle of the sport for all our athletes and the rugby family, providing the opportunity for the best men's and women's players in the world to showcase their talent on the world's greatest sporting stage.
"The international rugby community is united behind Sevens' campaign and we now look ahead to October."
Rugby - which in its traditional 15-a-side format - was originally introduced to the Olympic Games by Pierre de Coubertin in 1900 and continued to be played at the 1908, 1920 and 1924 Games.
The sport shares the values of the Olympic Movement and offers new potential for growth to help the Movement to thrive and reach more young fans worldwide.
Seven sports had been vying for inclusion to the 2016 Games, the venue for which will be voted on when the IOC meets in Denmark, with baseball, softball, rollersports, karate and squash all missing out.
For the five sports who lost out there is no hope of continuing their fight as IOC president Jacques Rogge has said they cannot come to the vote as an alternative option should one of the recommended sports be voted down.
After failing in their previous bid to get into the 2012 Games the sport's powerbrokers mounted an aggressive and effective campaign, with Lapasset making it the priority of his first term of office.
His intention was to make it a truly global sport, 'reaching out' as he termed it, and as IRB chief executive Mike Miller pointed out the Sevens format is ideal for television as it is 'fast and furious' and also has the habit of producing upsets.
mit ne mondjak, Wales-Argentin döntőben Walesi győzelemmel záródott a Dubai 2009 Sevens World Cup.
Ha hozzá veszem hogy a Skótok verték Ausztráliát a vigaszág Plate-ben ill futottak még kategóriában Bowl döntüben Zimbabwe verte az Ireket.
akkor a Brit országok majdnem vittek minden ezüstöt, 6 nemzet haha mit csinál majd ha olimpián Great Britain szinbe kell kifutnia :))
néhány idézet:
Amatőrök, orvosok, diákok, ügyvédek csapata vagyunk, büszkék vagyunk hogy első argentin csapat vagyunk ami döntőt játszott Pablo Gomez Cora.
Két éve mindenki kiröhögött amikor arról beszéltem Kenya akár VB-t is nyerhet. Ime középdöntősek lettünk Coach Benjamin Ayimba.
7 rögbyt az Olimpiára. Fantasztikus sport, walesi Richie Pugh.
A vérnyomásom már rendben van. A jó 100kg feletti Samoa edző Rudi Moors miután örömében cigánykerekt vetett az angolok ellen hosszabitásban megnyert meccs végén.
stb
The best of the quotes from players and coaches in the men's competition on the final day of the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2009...
“Get Sevens in the Olympics. It’s an awesome sport. It’s been brilliant here in Dubai.” - Wales , who wants to be a Sevens Olympian.
"It probably helped that England got knocked out and (their fans) jumped on our bandwagon but we'll take that. We are champions." - Wales try scorer Aled Thomas on uncharacteristic support from the English.
“We’re made up of students, lawyers, doctors, amateurs who represent their clubs. It’s a good reflection on Argentinean rugby that a group like us can make it to the final of a World Cup. We’re proud to be the first Argentina team to make it to a World Cup final." - Pablo Gomez Cora on the positives from Argentina appearance in the Melrose cup final.
"We just came down here full blooded, we just want to hurt people and then cool heads on the ball, so its just amazing." - Welsh try scorer Aled Thomas on his team's aggressive approach to the tournament.
"It's back to normal." - Samoa coach Rudi Moors on his heart rate after cart-wheeling with delight.
"All we can do now is make sure we hammer everyone in Hong Kong and go on and win the World Series, and get something out of this season." - England Coach Ben Ryan on how England can bounce back from their shock RWC Sevens exit.
"We had no reactive players on the field, probably because we played 15-a-side during February and our legs are not in Sevens mode." - Portugal coach Tomaz Morais on his team's below-par display.
“I think for us to have come this far is a really proud moment for everyone. I think everyone, from family to friends to the whole country, was behind us and that was great. The supporters have been great. They are an amazing bunch of people and they have paid to come out here and that is very great of them.” - Bowl-winning Zimababwe Coach Liam Middleton on what the win means for everyone involved.
"Unbelievable. I couldn't believe what happened. We knew we had to keep our composure and try to regain the kick-off after we scored. The ball went to them but we defended well and fair play to the boys - we stuck at it for the 14 minutes." - Wales’ winning try scorer Tom Isaacs on holding out against New Zealand at the end of their Melrose Cup quarter final
"It's certainly a lot warmer and there is a wee bit more of a carnival atmosphere. I've played in some good venues but this one has been fantastic." - Kieron Campbell of Ireland on how playing in Dubai compares with Ravenhill (his home ground).
"I am quite small, you get beaten up a bit and it is hard to get up in the morning and come and play again. But in the World Cup, it gives you extra adrenaline that you have to have." - Hong Kong's Keith Robertson on how size can matter.
"We might have lacked the talent and the speed of other international sides but we made up for it in the courage and the guts of the boys." - Proud Arabian Gulf skipper Steve Cooper assesses his team.
"What I said two years back was being laughed at. The second tier nations are definitely coming up. We're in the semi finals now. It is really encouraging for us." - Coach Benjamin Ayimba on his long-held belief that Kenya could win the World Cup.
ugye ugye Eng 7-21 Samoa HT átjáróház védelem. mehehe
and england is out :P
angolok vissyajottek 26-26 ra de úgy hogy 7mp marad Samoa tacsra vágta de a biró megadta az angol bedobást az angol (fekete) Vandana meg 3. célt is bevitte.
hosszabitás és Samoa nyert. szvsz nekik drukkolok :)
jósolható volt a legjobb 8, de hogy ki járt jól ?!
A döntőért:
NEW ZEALAND - WALES ENGLAND - SAMOA SOUTH AFRICA - ARGENTINA KENYA - FIJI
ügye pont Kenya és Wales a két óriásölő, addig nagy favorti NZ, Fiji még tornát se nyert idén,
Afrika, Argentina 2-1 az idei tornagyőzelmek,
egyedül talán Anglia dörzsölheti a kezét mert Samoa eddig holthalovány idén, habár Samoa hagyományosan brutál jó védekezést mutat 74-12 és az angol 94-36 elég átjáróház a többi 6-hoz képest egyedül csak Kenya rosszabb ennél.
haha NZ végzett a legjobb csop elsőként +95 pontkülönbséggel, hanem a legjobb második is majdnem a saját A csoportbeli ellenfele Tonga lett mint a második legjobb csoport 2. :)))) az
ja a hat csoportból csak az elsők jutnak tovább! a VB cimért ill a 2 legjobb második.

Rugby Sevens is one of seven sports attempting to gain entry into the Olympics, competing with Karate, Baseball, Softball, Golf, Squash and Roller sports. Two codes will gain entry into the 2016 Olympics, with the decision being made at Copenhagen in October this year.

Samoa Oceania qualifier Tonga Oceania qualifier Japan Asia qualifier Hong Kong Asia qualifier USA N America qualifier Canada N America qualifier Kenya Africa qualifier Zimbabwe Africa qualifier Tunisia Africa qualifier
Persze az arabok nem aprózzák el, még egyengetik az új 50e stadiont amit a VB-re fognak átadni, és persze 7-nek azaz Sevensnek nevezik el.
Európából 2008 Hannover Sevens Huszti volt csapatának stadionjában volt a kvalifikáló.
oda egy elő kavifikáló sorozatt május-június vezetett, amin Magyarok is részt vettünk lengyelbe és horvátban. Ha jól értelmezem tavaly 30 csapatból 27 helyre hoztuk magunkat
A Sevens VB-t a skótok találták ki, ott is rendezték az elsőt. De mint látható Hong Kong a fészkes fészke a sevensnek lásd a lenti képet, 2 vb-t is ott játszottak.
Nevettségesen egyszerű lebonyolitani 1 db stadion elég hozzá. És mivel a meccsek 2x7 azaz negyedórásak a csoportört 20 csapattal le lehet zavarni fél nap alatt, döntők másnap.
És ARGENTINA győzött !!!!! 15-02-2009 England 14 - 19 Argentina USA Final Cup
Az angolok Wellingon után San Diego USA-ban is majdnem megismételték múlt heti utolsó-utolsó percekben kiharcolt tornagyőzelmet de az argentinok kitartottak !
hihetetlen, asszem első Sevens diadaluk.
Kenya megint boritotta a papirformát mint múlt héten elverte a csoportör esélyesét akkor Dél-Afrikát, most Új-Zélandot és igy ez a két csapat megint összekerült az kieséses ágon 1/8 döntőben.
Múlt héten Új-Zéland ment tovább és meg sem állt a döntőig, addig afrika vigaszágon győzőtt, most az Afrikaiak küldték Új-Zéland-ot vigaszágra amit az meg is nyert ( irónikusan pont Kenya ellen). Addig Dél Afrika elbukott angiával szemben a döntőért.
Ez a pontszerzés miatt fontos, mert ezzel a Kenya- Argentin páros betömöritette a tabellát. Az eddig 3 esélyes IRB Series-t nyilttá tette.
USA amely leverte Kenyát igy elődöntőbe jutott hazai pályán , végül épp csak alulmaradt a tornagyőztes argentin csapat ellen amely még leverte Mexikot, a múltheti ászt Walest, Samoát, és Angliát egyedül Fijitől kaptak ki.
Gyakorlatilag 2 évhez képest amikor Fiji, NZ, SA Anglia uralta a sorozatot és pl NZ 35 meccset nyert zsinórban mára szinte bárki bedőlhet bárki ellen. Veretlen csapat nincs már 2 sorozat óta....
(Érdekesség wellingtonban volt már a mai döntőt idéző meccs a C csoportban, akkoris Argentina győzőtt 2009-02-06 England 5 - 13 Argentina )
Pools/Standings
England 60 South Africa 60 New Zealand 52 Argentina 48 Fiji 32 Kenya 24 USA 20
ABC TV csatorna most előszőr 1 órás highlights közvetitést fog adni az USA, San Diego 7-ről. Ill 50e tömeget várnak majd...
Felteszem az USA W7 remek szereplése is közrejátszott.
USA Sevens receives major broadcast boost (IRB.COM) Wednesday 11 February 2009
USA Sevens receives major broadcast boost
Organisers of the USA Sevens have announced that ABC will broadcast highlights of the USA Sevens Rugby Tournament, presented by Bridgestone, as a one-hour special on 22 February at 17:00 EST.
Since moving the American leg of the World Series from the Home Depot Center in Los Angeles to central San Diego, the event has enjoyed strong year-on-year growth in what remains an untraditional and emerging rugby market.
Organisers have struggled, however, to convince the nation's major broadcasters of rugby's appeal to a domestic audience, so this latest development is a major coup for the sport.
“Having a chance to showcase the premier event of one of the country’s fastest-growing sports is an enormous opportunity,” said Ray Peterson, managing director of the USA Sevens.
“Rugby fans across America will now be able to watch their favorite teams compete and many new viewers will also be introduced to the dynamic game of rugby sevens.”
The tournament has over 110 media attending, which will ensure that the global rugby community knows about the USA Sevens.
"USA Sevens is about engaging a new rugby fan base through creating a unique American entertainment spectacular with rugby as its hub," said Tournament Director, former Eagles captain Dan Lyle.
"Building on the Olympic model of cultural diversity and elite-level athleticism through our participating nations, we've been able to capture the imagination of a major TV network as well as the support of the nation's seventh largest city, San Diego.
"The attendance figure is expected to top 50,000 this year.
Az IRB SEVENS sorozat 3. állomása a Wellington Sevens -Új-Zéland, hozta a legnagyobb fordulatott a bajnokságban. (rögtön követi majd a 4. forduló USA San Diego ezen a hétvégén)
ha már USA:
a torna ólyan meccseket dobott ami szinte megrengette a Sevens erőviszonyokat csak másfél hónappal Seven VB Dubai előtt.
USA lemosta hányszoros bajnokot Fiji-t. majd olyat menetelt mint az álom.
NZ házigazda rögtön beleszaladt egy hihetetlen vereségbe Wales ellen, ehhez azért kellet hogy 7 főből 2 rögtön leküldtek piros és sárga lappal már az első percekben civakodásért ill a kapitányt buktatásért.
Afrika eddigi 2 állomás 2x győztese simán kikapott Kenyától igy NZ -al került szembe a kieséses ágon. Kikaptak a Kupáért, de a vigaszágon a Plate megnyerték igy 8 pontot mégis begyüjtöttek.
4 trófeát osztanak Cup, Plate csoport továbbjtók ill Bowl, Shield csoport 3-4. között...
Cook Island keményen megszorongatott mindenkit a végén menyerte a Bowl.
De a legboldogabb Anglia lehetett amely 8 év után tudott tornát nyerni Wellingtonban a Kiwik ellen, egy utolsó másodpercekben kapu közzé letett try-al egyenlitett majd berugta a bonusz pontot is, ami sokkolta a 35 ezres stadion már-már a hazai győzelmet ünneplő közönségét.
igy szoros lett az élboly 48 DélAfrika, 44 Anglia, 44 NZ.
A igazság kedvéért hozzátartozik hogy NZ már első meccsen leveszitett néhány kulcs játékos piros lap sérülés miatt, ill a döntőt pl a csapkatiány törött (fractured) lábbal játszotta ...
Januárban sorsolják majd a VB csoportokat. 87!!!!!!! ország vett részt a selejzőkben és a résztvevők:
The global qualification process for the tournament is now complete.
Defending champions Fiji, New Zealand, England, South Africa, Australia, France, Scotland and Argentina all qualified automatically after reaching the Melrose Cup quarter-finals at RWC Sevens 2005 in Hong Kong.
They will be joined by Host Union, the Arabian Gulf, plus regional qualifiers Uruguay (South America), Portugal, Wales, Georgia, Ireland, Italy (Europe), Samoa, Tonga (Oceania), Japan, Hong Kong (Asia), USA, Canada (North America), Kenya, Zimbabwe and Tunisia (Africa) in the men’s tournament.
In the women’s event Brazil (South America), England, Netherlands, Russia, France, Spain, Italy (Europe), Australia, New Zealand (Oceania), South Africa, Uganda (Africa), Japan, Thailand, China (Asia), Canada and USA (North America) have all confirmed their places in Dubai through regional qualifiers.
“The global qualifying process has been a great success,” added Coalter. “It is the largest ever qualification process for a RWC Sevens with 87 men’s teams and 83 women’s teams from all six IRB regions competing to secure a place for Dubai.
“In addition, the standard of competition across every qualifying tournament has been extremely high. Rugby World Cup Sevens 2009 promises to be a spectacular event and the IRB looks forward to welcoming the global Rugby community to Dubai in March.”
Gary Chapman, President Group Services and Dnata, Emirates Group, added: “With just 100 days to go to the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2009, we are thrilled with the way everything has come together at Emirates’ new sports facility, The Sevens.
“This weekend’s Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens will see the public and players getting their first glimpse of the spectacular new venue. And we are certain that in 100 days time it will be even more impressive when we welcome the world back for the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2009 – the largest global sports event Dubai has hosted to date.”
The pools and tournament schedule for Rugby World Cup Sevens 2009 will be announced at a Rugby World Cup Sevens press conference in Dubai on January 19.
Márciusban IRB 7 rendez egy Konkrét VB-t is megint Dubaiban. NŐI csapatokkal is párhuzamosan. A győztes nem pontokat kap hanem konkrétan VB aranyért játszanak majd.

Rugby Coalter: Dubai games will impress IOC officials
International Olympic Committee officials were said to have kept an eye on the Dubai Sevens and are expected here once again when the IRB Sevens Rugby World Cup comes to town in March. The news, however, doesn't bother IRB Rugby 7s Tournament Director Beth Coalter, who is confident that rugby and Dubai can mix and, moreover, impress.
Coalter told Gulf News, how the IRB plan to win an Olympic berth for the Sevens game and Dubai's role in guaranteeing success.
Any progress on securing an Olympic spot?
Quite a lot of meetings and presentations need to be made. I am personally not the one working on that, but our chairman and CEO are going through that process. They've had meetings in Lausanne earlier this month and October 9, 2009 will be the date when a decision is made in Copenhagen and between now and then IOC will send its officials to take a look at what's happening around the world.
I don't know how many will be coming, but they'll be here during the Rugby World Cup and they'll see men and women playing and make their decision.
Anything special planned during tournaments this year to get IOC officials excited?
We have the spectacular 7s Series and the Rugby World Cup happening here in Dubai in March, what else would they need to be convinced that the sport could work well within the Olympic set-up. The crowds, the colour, is here for them to see and make up their mind.
What would it mean to have the Sevens game incorporated in the Olympic schedule?
The officials have seen what goes on behind the scenes at a Sevens tournament. The kind of facilities that are required, the training that goes on and the anti-doping measures that are in place. It would be great because the game would grow well beyond anyone's imagination once it acquires Olympic status.
What is your opinion of The Sevens, the Emirates Airlines Dubai Rugby 7s new home?
Dubai is a key tournament on the sevens circuit and it's amazing to see what this place can do. The new venue has in a way managed to retain its history because it is much like the old facility. I really think it is one of the best facilities around the world. I wasn't here in May, but I was told there was sand and now the pitch looks green and just great for action. I'm sure next year's Sevens World Cup will be an event to remember.
If there's one word you'd use to describe The Sevens, what would that be?
Impressive!I was really impressed with the new facility and just wanted to see how it was going to be. Not just for this region, but for the whole world. It's a fantastic legacy that they have here.
You've spoken of the Sevens game within the Pan-American Games and the All African Games setup, do you see a Sevens event at a Pan Arab tournament?
What has happened is because of the qualifying tournaments this year, we've had tournaments being held in the region and we've also felt the need to have more tournaments. That [Pan Arab] tournament would be great as we have a regional development manager here. We've got unions that are looking after the game here as well and through them you never know we could have something like that soon.
