National Sevens Trials for South East Asian Games

The PRFU will be conducting a National Sevens Trial for selection of players for the upcoming 24th South East Asian Games.

All players of Filipino Citizenship are invited to attend.

Trial Details

The trials will consist of a series of round robin games of Sevens Rugby, to allow the PRFU selection committee to identify players who have the required skills to make the PRFU National Squad.

Rugby Sevens at the South East Asian Games
Rugby Sevens will be an official sport in the South East Asian Games (SEAG) for the very first time at the upcoming 24th SEAG being held at Thailand this December 06 – 12 2007. However, the PRFU was at the forefront of introducing the sport to the SEAG, when we introduced it as a site sport for the 23rd SEAG at Manila in 2005. In fact we won the Gold at the tournament, so the Philippines is looking to defend its title.

Player Eligibility for SEAG
To be eligible to represent the Philippines in the PRFU National Sevens team at the SEAG, players must as a minimum be Filipino itizens. This is much stricter requirement then the normal IRB eligibility rules for players representing a country – which only equires that a person be a resident of that country for three (3) years.
