Globe trotters ... Members of the Uprising Beach Resort sevens team after winning the Ruck Over Rugby Charity tournament in London
THE Uprising Beach Resort sevens team continues to turn heads on the world stage after winning the Ruck Over Rugby Charity 7s in Brighton, England, over the weekend.
The side beat Olorun ID 55-10 in the cup final and this was a cause for celebration for the side, which has been awing many around the world with their skills.
The team, with owner Rene Munch at the helm, disposed Marauders Academy 19-12 in the semi-final.
Munch had to fill in after one of the players got injured and this was an added inspiration for the team as their boss combined well with his charges.
"There are two new players in this team from the previous tour," Munch aid.
"Youngest player Avenisi Vasuinubu at 17, was definitely the player of the tournament with 14 tries and 14 conversions."
"It is not all about the owners as the players get to snap up all the prizemoney, which has seen them smile all the way.
"I am very happy with the teams' performance in Brighton, especially winning against very strong sides by such big margins," Munch said.
"So many people here have shown great interest in the resort and Fiji in general.
"The organisers of the tournament have already confirmed a visit to Fiji (Uprising) in the next few months."
The team returns on June 10 after its assault on the Roma 7s in Italy.
"Roma 7s is going to be very tough especially with all the IRB circuit players taking part," Munch said.
"Tough teams include British Army, Kooga wailers (England players), France, Italy, South African universities and other strong European teams."
