On the 18th of September, 9 nine children from a mix of yr5/yr6 went to compete at a junior rugby world cup tournament. we competed as Georgia. There were four pools with Exminster/Georgia competing in Pool C with rivals, Kenn who were competing as national team Tonga.We won are first game against Tonga 6-3 and after that a 7-4 victory against Argentina. After losing 5-1 at half-time, we managed to pull back and scored another 4 tries. Unfortunatley, New Zealand scored another try to take the win 6-5. Fortunatley we got into the quarter finals where we played France. Unfortunately, France managed to knock us out after a 8-6 victory. Although France were challenging opponents, they were defeated in the semi-finals by Fiji who managed to finish 2nd overall. When we were knocked out were told to sit in the family stand to watch: Fiji V Australia in the final of the tournament. Finishing 5th out of 20, team Exminster were delighted as we had a good team spirit. Players scoring up to 23 tries we also had some good individuals varying throughout the competition. We started playing on the astro-pitches for the Pool matches then, because we were through to the quarter-finals, we played on the first team pitch, where the Exeter Chiefs play their matches.
