Academy Girls make Maiden Tour to Cebu
With the Asian Rugby Football Union's Women's 15s 2012 slated to be held in Manila in a fortnight and the Singapore Standard Chartered National Rugby Academy (SCNRA) Women's Team touring Cebu to play the Philippine Women's National Development Team, the Philippines will be seeing plenty of women's rugby action over the next few weeks.
Whilst the SCNRA has been involved with women's rugby in Singapore through introductory programs like PLAY! and other clinics, this will be the first time that a women's team from Singapore travels under the SCNRA banner since its inception.
The Philippine Women's National Development Team comprises a similar age group of women in their mid 20s who are mostly resident in Manila. Like many on the SCNRA squad, some of the Philippine development team members are hopefuls for a spot on their respective national squad for the ARFU 15s in Manila. Susan Konstanty, the coach of the Philippines development side as well as the Volcanoes, will be keeping an eye out for standout players before her final selection for the Volcanoes to play at the ARFU 15s in two weeks.
The game between the Singapore Standard Chartered National Rugby Academy Women's Team and the Philippine Women's National Development Team will be played at the Cebu International School on Saturday, 2 June 2012.

Singapore National Women’s 15 Training Squad announced:
The squad of 28 hopefuls will train for the next 5 weeks and play warm-up games to prepare for the competitive ARFU Women’s Division 2 Championship 2012. A final squad of 24 will travel to Manila from 13 June to 17 June.
After being dropped down into Division 2 by the ARFU committee to make way for China, the team that travels to Manila will compete against teams from Uzbekistan, Philippines and Laos.
The training squad was selected by the coaching team based on the Singapore Rugby Women’s 15s League 2012, Jan 12 – Mar 12 and the Super 15s League which just ended yesterday. The Super 15s League games featuring the Singapore Academy girls team coached by Muhammad Zaki and composite teams from Bedok Kings, Blacks and Bucks.
Comment from the selectors: “Super League games were a great initiative to develop and increase the standard of women's rugby in Singapore. It allowed the selectors to see players in a competitive environment that was additional to the recently completed SRU National Women's Club Championship.”
