Rugby may not be one of the most popular sports in China, but plenty of Chinese women have found their passion in this tough contact sport. And compared to a rugby nation like Australia, they are certainly not that bad. The two teams faced each other again in the rugby sevens tournament, the Olympic version of the ball sport, which only has seven instead of 15 players and is only played for 15 instead of 80 minutes per match. For the Chinese, the final score was 7:31. For rugby, that’s still a respectable score for an underdog. Last year in Dubai, China’s women suffered a 0:54 defeat. But anyone familiar with the Chinese quest for Olympic laurels can be sure that they will continue to train hard. Perhaps one day they will be able to beat Australia.
