The third CBRE Juniors Touch Rugby Tournament of the year was held last Saturday, April 20, 2013, at Eagles Nest in Southern Plains Subdivision, Laguna. The tournament featured the participation of 15 teams from various schools, clubs, and foundations. Over 180 players from the PRFU Juniors Development Program came together under the hot sun, vying for the title of best juniors’ team in their age group. The newly formed SOS Children’s Village Rugby team made its debut in the Under 10s and Under 12s divisions. SOS Children’s Village Rugby team managed to show everyone that they have the skills to compete against the more experienced teams like Clark Jets Rugby Club, Bulacan Rugby Club, and Mavericks Rugby Club. In the end, they were able to dominate the opposition on both divisions, losing just once in the Under 12s division and winning all their games in the Under 10s division.  Clark Jets Rugby Club U16s team The U16s division featured the Mavericks Rugby Club, Clark Jets Rugby Club, and the Childhope Foundation. The games were evenly matched, with the teams winning by just 1 or 2 points. The CJRS victory over the Mavericks secured them first position in this age group.  Bulacan Rugby Club The U14s division featured five teams. All the matches were close, with some games resulting in draws. It was the much improved Bulacan Team 2 who had the most number of wins in this division. As a result Bulacan Team 2 came in first place with the Hapons and Clark Rugby Jets placing second and third, respectively. This tournament edition applied the new “set and rip” rule of Rugby. Traditionally, players were to put the ball down and step over it upon being touched. Under the new rule, players now have to turn their back on their opposition and present the ball to their teammates, who in turn will rip the ball from the touched player. This variation is more consistent with the rules of full contact rugby. All teams were instantly able to adjust to the new rule and were able to play fun, high-level games throughout the day.
