Cambodian lass to make their debut

Saturday October 6, 2007

PHNOM PENH: Cambodia's national women's rugby team will make their debut today when the first ever Asian Rugby Football Union Women's sevens tournament kicks off at the kingdom's Olympic Stadium.

The Cambodian side will face teams from Singapore, Laos, Thailand and South Korea, Philippe Monnin, secretary general of the Cambodian Rugby Federation, said yesterday.

“It is very important because it is the first time they are playing against other national teams,” Monnin told AFP, but added that the women still lack international experience.

“It is for them the first ever game against foreigners, so it is very difficult, of course,” he said.

I think we have a great championship chance if we pick women from the rural area. They are not sissy like the city women. Do you catch my drift?
