Pacific Harbour Gold Rush Golf Tournament News Flash....... One week to Go !!!   Four tournaments spread over four months  May 03...

22 January 2009

Ranked the lowest amongst the Fijian teams, current Byron Bay Champions, Uprising Beach Resort rugby team, leave our shores today for the Hottest Sevens in Darwin.

"We are ranked the lowest because of our lack of experience," said Rene Munch, coach and trainer of the team.

Twelve team members, captained by John Moroivalu, will compete against some of the world's best exponents of the abbreviated code.

Munch is also the owner of the Uprising Beach Resort in Pacific Harbor and was a member of the team until he injured himself.

The team comprises of staff from the resort.

They will compete against rugby powerhouses and Rene says this will be a chance of a life time for some of the players.

"We are pooled with Samoa and I know it is going to be very difficult but it is good learning ground," he said.

Other strong Fijian teams Davetalevu, Red Rock, Drifters and Global Fiji Samurai are also part of the tournament.

"The team has been in camp for the past two weeks in the resort compounds and we have tents erected on the beach-front," Munch said.

Munch said he was happy to see the level of fitness was to his expectation after numerous training sessions.

"The resort has its own gym so the boys are able to train here everyday. The team also has a lot of fast runners which is an advantage."

Uprising has only been in existence for a year and so far has had a successful year, winning three tournaments out of four. They lost to the Fiji side at the Brisbane Sevens last October.

"My aim is basically to expose the boys to more international tournaments," Munch said.
