RWC World Cup Final Over - Malta Rugby Season Kicks in with Ray Elliott Cup- Gladiators Seniors and Youth 7s 29-30 OctoberThe World Cup is finally over with a hard fought win by New Zealand over France (8-7) . It was a close shave and not
NZs best performance but hard fought and overall the Web Ellis Cup is well deserved by the Kiwis for an outstanding tournament
and indeed season. France were outstanding and it was their best game. For me the team of the tournament was Argentina for
sheer passion , skills and improvement embodying the spirit of Rugby- and for proving once and for all that Rugby Union
is a truely global sport (IRB WAKE UP and stop the obsession with 6 Nations and Tri (now Four) Nations) The
Malta Rugby season kicked off on 23rd October with the Kavallieri- Overseas Ray Elliot Cup Clash . Here is the report: GLADIATORS SENIORS have first challenge of their FIRST full season with the 7s tournamnet
