It would be interesting an beneficial to get the 24/7 guys back if the organisers could, as they know what the sport is about etc. Does anyone have a contact with the Durban organisers? I do know that the week after Worlds in Sheffield, the 24/7 crew then went to Canada (?) to cover the Womens Rugby World Cup (yea, kind of boring, we won again).

Hi Edwin,

The Worlds website is www.uwhworlds2008.net and there is a "contact us" link from there.

Cheers,
Alex

Canada will also be sending a Junior Team

Jordan,

Will Canada be sending a Junior Girls Team to Durban?

New Zealand a little bit worried that only SAF and NZ will field Junior Girls Teams.

Hopefully Australia will also be attending as we have a great 5 match series in Hobart in July.

UWH at world level needs to keep the junior grades growing and rumours have it that Great Britain is not sending junior teams.

Thats a Open Junior Team...It doesn`t look like canada will be sending a Junior Girls team.

Timing is awful for Juniors in some countries - seems GB having exams. USA: too close to end of year, and I can never get adequate time away from school. USA would like to send Open Juniors, but I don't think it will be possible. it is too bad but such is life - c'est la guerre .....
