Rugby in Germany

It's nearly time for one of the Highlights of the German Rugby Year.

The Hamburg Sevens takes place between the 3. & 5. July and today, the Women's Squad has been announced.

Here are the players that coach Curtis Bradford has named as Germany look to put on a show for the home fans with an eye on making the SVNS 3 competition at the end of the Rugby Europe Championship Series.

Good luck to the team!

With the u18 Sevens Championships approaching quickly, the Girls team will meet in Heidelberg this weekend for a training camp. A chance for players to stake their claim before the final squad is announced.

Here are the players who have been nominated for the camp.

The sun is shining, and the heat is rising - Summer is definitely here at last.

Whilst most of us start thinking of a week or two away, for a lot of players, there is still work to be done.

Above is a quick guide to the tournaments coming up between now and the beginning of the new season in September that will involve German teams.

What a day in Ricklingen!

SC Frankfurt 1880 retain the Bundesliga title and are German Champions for the sixth season in a row.

Despite falling behind to an early try by Nikolai Klewinghaus, 1880 soon took control going in 20-7 at half time before sealing the title 35-10.

Congratulations to for another Championship and to .rugby for a great season.

Preparation for the u18 Sevens European Championships continues this weekend as the squad travels to Bologna.

There they will compete against state sides from across Italy offering a strong challenge for the team.

Here is the squad who will travel. Good luck!

This weekend, the Women's Sevens Team will continue their preparation for the European Championships with a camp in Belgium.

As part of the camp, they will play a series of 5 matches against their Belgian counterparts.

Entry to the Nelson Mandela stadium is free to anyone who happens to be in Brussels this weekend.

Here is the squad selected by coach Curtis Bradford and the schedule of games as confirmed by the Belgian Rugby Union.

One last round of the SVNS Championship this weekend and Germany could hardly face a tougher group as they face off against Argentina, New Zealand & hosts France.

As Niklas KOCH, Jan Lammers & Henry Smeed are unavailable through injury, coach Pablo Feijoo has called up Wolfram Hacker, Lennox Wiese and Michael Goedeke from the Academy squad to boost the squad.

Qualification for SVNS 1 is probably out of reach but this is another chance to show that Germany belong at the top level and confirm a Top 10 finish in the overall standings.

Good luck to the team!

Another weekend and another tournament for the Men's Academy side.

This time, they travel to Amsterdam to face a high quality field and gain more valuable minutes on the field.

5 changes from the squad in Haguenau, with Jack Byszio & Karabo Van Heerden from Frankfurt 1880 coming in alongside Andre Venter & Marcelle Deysel from RC Leipzig.

The final change sees Robin Plümpe bring his experience in to replace club teammate Wolfram Hacker, who will be heading to India for the Premier League.

5 German International teams were in action this weekend.

From the senior Men taking on the world's best in Valladolid to the u18 sides preparing for the European Championships in Tours, here are the results from the weekend.

Particular congratulations to .eagles7s for their tournament victory!
