(London.CityRegions.com, April 06, 2013 ) England, UK -- A new and important step along the route to growing Ruby within China is on the way as Guangzhou hosts the third leg of the inaugural IRB Women's Sevens World Series.
The new move to host the event within China's third largest city is designed to jointly foster the game of rugby and give general structure to its growth in one of the more exciting emerging markets for the sport.
As a portion of the Memorandum of Understanding that was signed between the IRB and Guanzhou during 2012, the Chinese have pledged their commitment to growing both men and women's rugby. This is important given the opportunities that currently exist with the sport's re-inclusion to the Olympics summer program for 2016.
It is also important as it is a year out from the debut of Rugby Sevens at the Youth Olympic Games within Nanjing, which brings forth the finest of the Sevens stars from over sex nations across the globe. As part of the preparation of the Rugby World Cup Sevens 2013, the first live streaming from the series will be taking place on wswsirb.com.
Fans within Guangzhou and web users alike will be able to see 12 international sides from across the globe taking on one another in head-to-head competition at the 50,000 seat Guangzhou University Town Stadium, including six mainstay teams. Australia, Canada, England, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United States of America are all mainstays of the sports international stage. The event will have Ireland, Fiji, and Tunisia make their series debuts ahead of their participation into the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow in late June.
"With over 80 per cent of the world’s youth, the IRB has identified the Asia region as being a key growth area for Rugby," according to IRB Head of Competitions and Performance Mark Egan.
"This weekend's exciting Women's Sevens World Series is just another step forward in that regard. Guangzhou is set to become a center of excellence and a genuine hub for the sport in China. I'm really looking forward to some excellent matches, especially with Rugby World Cup Sevens in Moscow just around the corner."
"The IRB has invested approximately £9 million into the development of Rugby in Asia between 2009 and 2012, a region where men’s and women’s Fifteens and Sevens is going from strength to strength," said Egan.
