Headroom

In 2006 I started a thread on this site regarding rugby in the Philippines. That was the year that the Philippine Volcanoes actually started playing International matches. Unfortunately there wasn't much interest and the thread was shut down. Now that that the Volcanoes have won their way through to the Premier Division of Rugby (an amazing feat to achieve in a mere 6 years making them the most successful team next to Japan in Asia) and have moved their ranking from the mid-80's to 55th in the World, are currently the most winning sports team the Philippines has produced and are getting exposure through billboards, tv, newspaper and magazine features I was wondering if there is more interest in the sport amongst members here?? Aside from the rise of the Volcanoes there is now a full contact Women's National Team that won Division B in the Asian Women's 7's competition. The PRFU (www.prfu.com) has also done a good job of promoting the sport amongst young Filipinos and there was a division in the Bostik 10's competition comprised of 4 teams that was almost 100% Filipino - this included players who had 1 foreign parent but who live in the Philippines. The more established teams have also been doing work with Orphanages teaching them the game and a number of the children have moved through a program that has seem them work for the PRFU to coach other youngsters in the sport. So I thought I'd try and start this thread again to see if there is interest or if anyone has questions. If so please post them and I will do my best to answer them.
