The UP-Tuks Delta Drone women's sevens rugby team gave new meaning on Saturday to dominating when they won the Munchen Oktoberfest Tournament.
They might even have set some unofficial world record in women's sevens rugby. It is not known whether any team ever managed to win an international tournament without conceding a single point.
UP-Tuks players scored a total of 285 points in five games scoring 42 tries which equates to about eight in a match. The score in the final against a team of Norway's was 64-0. No wonder the crowd stood up in the Olympic stadium and gave the Tuks players a standing ovation as the final whistle blew.
In their first game, the UP-Tuks run circles around the players of Battalion La Amour to win 54-0, and they never stopped running after that. The score in the second game against Wurstburg was 52-0. In the quarterfinals against Munich, the score was 58-0, and in the semifinal against Stusta, it was 57-0.
Nadine Roos received the player of the tournament award. Libbie Janse van Rensburg (captain) also impressed with her fleet-footedness.
According to Riaan van der Merwe (UP-Tuks head coach), Kemi Baloi who plays at hooker had a relentless work rate throughout the tournament.
It is the second time this year that the UP-Tuks women's sevens team won an international tournament. They were also victorious at the Stanlisas Sevens Tournament in France.
In November the team will play in Dubai.
