Rugby World Cup 2019
This tournament will feature a lot of firsts in the rugby world. To start with, Asia has never had a chance to host such an event, and this will be the origin of its kind on this continent. Other than that, subsequent matches are also set to take place in the same hemisphere, something that has not occurred in the past. It is no wonder therefore that fans are on the edges of their seats, waiting to see what will unfold once the competition begins.
Japan has twelve outstanding stadiums set to host the games, and the first match will take place in Tokyo Stadium. The following events will take place in other venues before the closing game at the International Stadium Yokohama. As such, any fan lucky enough to watch the games live will have a chance to experience the games in different locations, adding more excitement to the events.
The Teams
At present, eighteen teams will participate in the games. Japan automatically had a place in the 2019 games based on the fact that they would host the games. They, however, managed to rank third in the pools thus securing a slot. The other slots are yet to get filled, a process which will take place by way of regional playoffs set to take place before the final matches.
The competition will have a knockout mechanism such that teams will compete amongst themselves in pools before heading to the subsequent stages.
There are a lot of high stakes in the 2019 games and placing a wager could have you celebrating alongside the winning team. There are many betting options available at present, and you can start your research as early as today.
2019 will be an exciting year for rugby fans all over the world as they wait to see which nation walks away with the prize. Long Live Rugby!
The Rugby Union
Rugby is a fast-growing sport which has amassed many fans over the years. As such, there has been an increase in the number of betting companies incorporating this sport in their sites. One such reliable website is the Betfair review which offers gamblers a chance to bet on their favorite rugby teams at good odds. It also provides a wide array of bets from which you can choose.
The growth of rugby as a sport is possible thanks to the many players in the industry such as the Rugby Union.
What is the union? (1871)
A lot of controversy surrounds how the game came to be, but most of the credit goes to William Webb who caught a ball during a soccer game and went on to run with it. Hence, people entertained the idea of such a sport, and soon rules came about regarding the same.
Following its popularity, the union got formed in the late nineteenth century and later split with the league going one way due to disagreements among the members.
The Union and the League
The union has its foundation on a fifteen man code while the league operates on a thirteen-a-side man code. Though rugby fans appreciate both game plays, there is an inclination towards a fifteen man play and this sport does well around the world as opposed to the league.
Make Money
If you love placing bets on games, you will enjoy the variety of wagers that you can have on rugby union games which range from points start to total match tries all the way to total match points. Many betting companies are looking for new ways in which gamblers can get to enjoy the game by introducing new wagers which are set to increase in the coming years.
Rugby has come a long way regarding popularity, and there is a lot of work required for it to reach the next level. However, as things stand at present, most of the foundation is already in place, and gamblers can get in on the action thanks to the growing rugby betting companies.
Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018
The Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018 is around the corner and fans all over the world can hardly keep calm as they wait to watch clashes between the most active teams in the sport. This event will be the seventh of its kind, a show that the game has come a long way since its formation. The World Rugby Organization is to thank for this rare treat which will take place at the AT&T in San Francisco, USA.
Women in Rugby
As from the twentieth of July all the way to the twenty-second of the same month, eighty-two matches will take place as teams get knocked out on a daily basis. Of all the events, fifty-two of them will feature men’s teams while the rest will feature women’s groups. Over time, women have shown their prowess in the game and have worked hard in the sport as more nations continue to help them nurture their skills. With time, more female teams will make it to the finals.
The Organization
Planning for this event commenced as early as 2014 where participating nations declared their interest in the competition. Many countries came forward, hoping for a chance to host the tournament before the USA bagged the bid. The AT&T Park has a capacity of about forty thousand people which makes it an ideal venue for the events set to take place. The games will begin on Friday where the women will compete in the quarterfinals. The semi-finals, final matches and the award ceremonies for the women’s teams will take place on Saturday. As for the men’s teams, the quarterfinals will take place on Saturday, and the rest of the activities will take place on Sunday the twenty-second of July where the competition will come to an end.
This competition is a chance to see how far the sport has come and to celebrate the increase of female participation in rugby. Here is to the best of luck to all competing teams in the series.

On Saturday 16th October, Ollerton will be playing Selly Oak in the Junior Vase Competition.
I am sure all the first team lads will be up for this one, giving 100% on the day.
It would be great to see a large turn out to support our team, we have a great chance to cause a cup upset against a Selley Oak team who are travelling from the Birmingham area.
So if you can, come on down, bring the familly and give the first team the support that they deserve.
Spread the word and let’s see if we can get a big turnout.

Match Reports for 11/9/04
Ollerton played hosts to NDL1 League favourites North Derbyshire and fell 10-31 in this close encounter which had North Derbyshire on the ropes for long periods before their elusive speedy backs took a hand to open up a sizable point’s difference that did not reflect the forward domination and territory that Ollerton had enjoyed.
