Philippines Win U/20 Asian Championships on Home Soil

The Philippines U/20 National Rugby Union Team made it a clean sweep by defeating Pakistan at Nomads Sports Complex on Saturday. The young Filipino team proved once again that Rugby Union is a sport that Filipinos can win and convincingly won the final game of the week long tournament by 46-3. Such was the dominance of the Philippines team over their opponents; in all three games that the Philippines scored a total of 128 points and only had 6 points scored against them. These 6 points came in the form of penalty conversions, meaning that Laos, Iran and Pakistan were unable to score a try against the rock solid Pinoy defense.

The final game against Pakistan proved that the Philippines were the deserved winners of this year’s Asian U/20s’ championships. Again, it was the midfield partnership of Captain Ben Saunders and Ned Stephenson that dominated the game. Ben once again scored the opening try of the final game, with Ned Stephenson scoring the next two tries and then splitting the Pakistan defense to shreds to set up Andrew Farrar for a hat trick of tries. Ned Stephenson was also awarded best back for the match.

The Philippine team forward pack who was lead by Graem Stevenson totally dominated the Pakistan Team at the rucks, mauls and line outs and it was local Faith schoolboy Tim Van Weerdhuizen that was awarded the best forward trophy. Tim was supported by Orlando Olvera, Fergus Mitra and Brian Liston who all attend local International Schools in Manila.

This year’s victorious U/20s series win will allow the National Team to compete in the U/20s Division 1 Asian Championships in 2010 and with 18 of the 24 players for that team will be from this super side. Coaches Matt Cullen and Grant Rice are confident of upsetting teams at the top level of Asian Countries.

Ben Saunders the Philippine Team Captain was awarded the player of the Series. At the age of 17, he will be a dominant player in the future Philippine Under 20’s and men’s teams.

The Philippine Rugby Football Union would like to thank all the PRFU sponsors and supporters who were on hand to enjoy the triumphant victory of the Philippine National Under20s team at this year’s Asian Championships.

Rugby Union is alive and well in the Philippines.
