Nauru women's 7s rugby

Nauru women’s rugby team competes internationally

This year was the second year of the tournament, and the Nauruan team competed against nine other teams over the weekend.

Unique Harris, Team Manager of the Nauru Women’s team, says Nauru Rugby Union decided to start hosting rugby clinics for women last year as a way to keep healthy and promote a healthy lifestyle.

“The team exceeded everyone’s expectations,” Unique says.

“This is Nauru’s first ever women’s team and it was their first time playing overseas!”

They played a total of four pool games and went into the plate semi-finals.
