If the success of an event can be judged on whether a fan is inspired enough to take off all their clothes and run across the field of play – and, let’s face it, it really should be – then the inaugural Shanghai Rugby Sevens in 2009 was given the stark-naked seal of approval (go here if you don’t believe us). Good news then, as September will see the Shanghai Rugby Football Club host the second installment.

They think it’s all over...

Well they would be right: it is. After a cracking season, we can announce that this year's Shanghai Bei champions are the Zhude Monks, having beaten the Hermit Crabs 23-10 in a very exciting and evenly matched fixture last Saturday. Hangzhou are leading the fair play trophy so far, boasting a squeaky clean record with no cards of any color. A couple of matches are still to be played,  but no results can knock the Monks or Crabs of their leading spots. So, the table with just two matches left to play…

Last weekend saw only one of the scheduled matches take place as Hangzhou were suffering too many injuries and SUS had exams (that suck’s, man). The match that did go ahead was a cracker though - the Monks trounced Nantong on their own turf. This means they snatch the top spot on the table from the reluctant claws of the Hermit Crabs as they creep ahead on number of tries. The points as they stand as follows:

Zhudi Monks 32pts
Hermit Crabs 30pts
Hongzhou Harlequins 19pts
SUS 13pts
Nantong Tigers 13pts
Shanghai Rhinos 8pts

A depleted Hermits team travelled to play Nantong to play in the latest round of the Shanghai Bei last Saturday. Struggling to field a full team, sterling work by Matt Froman and Norman Green in the bars of Shanghai on Friday night found some new faces to bring the team to 14 people.

A 9.00 AM start from the Big Bamboo was enthusiastically attended by most of the squad. Jensen and Chip were late The latter arrived latest, nonchalantly arriving in a taxi smoking a constitutional cigarette. By 9.40AM , 14 players and handful of spectators left the city to cross the mighty Yangtze.

The SHCs are a group of foreign two-legged rugby nuts that love to do battle with the local Chinese and Japanese teams. They also enjoy hosting foreign clubs and national teams. Back in 2006 they enjoyed the company of some ancient French Tahitians, a group of youthful Canadians and a team of grey haired Kiwis. Unlike their eight legged namesakes, they endeavour not to be (b)eaten, and succeed most of the time, winning the Yellow Sea Cup last year.
