Probably the best invitational 7s team in the world!
Samurai Rugby Football Club was founded in 1996, inspired by the playing spirit and tenacity of the Japanese national rugby team in the 1995 Rugby World Cup. It operates on a purely invitational basis, usually creating a new squad of coaches and players for each tournament.
Squads are usually a mix of professional and amateur players and coaches, but more especially a mix of nationalities with frequently at least five or six countries being represented. Players do not get paid for playing and being selected to play for Samurai Rugby is seen as an honour, even for professional players.
Acting as Media Manager at Amsterdam 7s 2022 was a huge honour. The role consisted of managing the team’s social media platforms in the run-up, during and immediately after the tournament, creating engaging and dynamic content (copy, stills and video) as well as liaising with media to organise player interviews.
