See the world, play rugby - an invitation.

Malcolm Baker, who many will know from his work with the East Region, is promoting a new women's rugby touring team "that will soon become the most well know and well travelled team from the home counties" has been formed - and its open to everyone, whoever you currently play for.

It is the EAST REGION "BOUDICCAS"

The Boudiccas Ladies WRFC was founded in July 2006, after players from the East Region squad were invited to play in the Stockholm 10s in Sweden. Despite being beaten in the semi-finals the players returned to the UK keen to compete in more competitions. From this idea Boudicca Ladies Touring Squad was founded.

There is no requirement to be part of the East Region Squad - the players range from Division 4 players to England U19s internationals. All that is needed is :
  1. All with a flare to travel, compete and win
  2. A love of 7s, 10s and 15 a side rugby
  3. Team spirt

The Teams Motto is “ BRING IT ON

The first tournament played as the Boudiccas was three weeks ago in Italy “The Rovigo 7s” where we lost in a very close final by one conversion. One of our wingers Sarah Stimpson holds the record for the quickest try to be scored in this tournament of only nine seconds from kick off.

The team will be competing on the womens 7s , 10s 15s circuits so far the tournaments below are confirmed with a few more to follow:

  • Nov-06 Dubai 7s (UAE)
  • Dec-06 Dubai 7s (UAE)
  • Apr-07 Isle of Man 7s & 15s (Isle of Man)
  • May-07 Amsterdam 7s (Holland)
  • Jun-07 Rock n rugby 7s (Spain)
  • Jun-07 Flanders Open 10's (Belgium)
  • Jul-07 Stockholm 10s (Sweden)
  • Aug-07 Scandinavian 7's (Denmark)
  • Aug-07 International Krusevac 7s (Serbia)
  • Oct-07 Rovigo 7s (Italy)

    The team travel to Dubai with only one thing on our minds and that is to win on the biggest 7s stage for women. With a squad of 24 players keep your eyes open at Dubai for Libby Peak, Holly Le Grave and Sarah McKenna all who play for England.

    We are always looking for more players who also enjoy rugby tours - maybe your one of them, or you have team mates who are too.

    How many times have you wanted to go on rugby tour but you don’t have enough players to do it??? Well here is your chance.
