ROSS ISLES 7S TO PLAY FOR THE PLATE
BURGUNDEN - After two disappointing defeats on day one of the AVBF Sevens, the Ross Isles national rugby sevens team fought back with a pair of victories. The Lions defeated Danurbia and Buevos Aires 35-7 and 33-7 respectively and these big wins secured the Ross Isles a place in the Plate playoffs, in which the Lions will face off against Terre Septentrionale. Later in the day, the Ross Isles fell to group winners Darmen, losing 33-5 to a strong Darmeni side, who must surely be considered to be one of the favourites to win the tournament. The conclusion of the group stage with the Ross Isles outfit progressing to the Plate playoffs marks an important moment for Ross Isles rugby as a whole, as the initial target set by the Ross Isles Rugby Football Union for the national rugby sevens team in its first entry in international competition has been achieved with stellar performances on the second day of the tournament.
