Hello People,
This last Saturday June 24, the Rugby Sevens State Championship took place in Hürth for women. I am very proud of my friend Claudia, she is from Mexico. I went to the game to support her.
Bayern participated with their U18 girls and free category for women. There where only five participant states: Baden-Württenberg, Bayern, Hessen, Rheinland-Pfalz, and Nordrhein-Westfalen. I find amazing that women practice this sport and can be so passionate about it. It was an amaizing day filled with rugby, family, fans and food. The U18 ended third in their category. They have worked really hard, and all though it is hard for them to train together since not all of them train in teams from Munich.
Like all contact sports, rugby implies a lot of commitment, since you have to do a lot of fitness and practice to avoid injuries. Also because it is a teamsport, it is very important to play as a team and have always in mind that it doesn’t matter who scores or messes up as long as you work together and have fun. I couldn’t believe with how much nobility and respectful the players practice this sport, in rugby there is no such thing as faking injuries, talking back to the referee or trying to hurt the opponent. I saw the girls trying their best to give the strongest tackle, get up from the ground and keep the line, and run as fast as they could, basically giving it all inside the field, and never complain about the pain they micht be feeling, because they are not just playing for themselves but for their whole team. I think that when you put something else before your personal needs, it is because it is worth it and this sacrifice will definitely lead to success.
I hope people would get to know this sport and live it, it doesn’t matter if it is from inside or outside the field, I have found it very lovely and fun. I have not seen values present in other sports like in rugby, and I think Bavaria should be very proud to have suh a committed team and that they keep up the good work.
LG, Paola My Mexican friend Claudia
