4 time Women’s Champions Valley Black were out to put a stop to Gai Wu’s winning streak while Gai Wu were out to prove that last year’s win wasn’t a fluke.

The conditions at Happy Valley were perfect for a fast attacking game with Wesley Feausi, Gai Wu’s influential coach looking for consistency from his team in play, game time and results. From the kick-off both forward packs showed they wanted to attack, whether in tight or lingering out wide. Gai Wu spent a lot of the first half on the back foot with some strong team defence as Valley enjoyed a lot of first half possession and displayed good ball retention. Strong attacking bursts from Valley’s Olivia Coady and Sarah Nash asked tough questions of Gai Wu’s tight defensive unit who held firm. When Gai Wu did receive clean ball from the forwards, they were able to score simply by going through the hands with Rainbow Leung crossing the line for the first try of the game. Valley got back in the game via a penalty after continuous Gai Wu infringements in the ruck. Half-time score 5-3 Gai Wu.

After the break, both teams were anxious to be the first to score, and early in the second half following a mis-directed kick, Gai Wu’s Rainbow pounced onto the loose ball and ran around 2 would-be defenders to score untouched making the score 10-3. Numerous attacks by the Valley backrow were met with staunch Gai Wu tackling. A mis-judged catch after a kick from Aggie Poon saw the ball make its way to Rainbow again, who after a clever draw and pass from prop Shun Lee, completed her hat-trick untouched and under the posts making the score 17-3. Feeling the pace Gai Wu missed a few tackles in the last 5 minutes, allowing Valley a consolation try. A great game of rugby and a superb advert for the quality of the women’s game in Hong Kong.

Gai Wu coach Wesley Feausi talks to bc about his team’s victory over CWB Pheonix

When you play a team for the second time in a season, as coach how does that affect your pre-matching planing?
Playing a team the second time round I find preparation a bit easier based on the feedback I give each player individually from the previous game with Causeway Bay, this helps me select the girls and gives me an idea of how to prepare. What do I change/keep in place etc.

Do you change your team practices based on perceived weakness in the opposition or to strengthen your team?
I train my team on weaknesses first, and think about the opposition later in the week.

It’s roughly the mid-point of the season, how do you think the team has improved/matured since the start of the season?
I would like to say that the Gai Wu girls are consistent, it has helped with Sai Lo Pang on board as a development coach for the up and coming girls whom are sitting at the top of their table, this is the foundation of Gai Wu rugby along with the unseen work that is done by Candy Cheng and Emmy Chan.

What are looking to see from the team in the second half of the season?
Again, we have been consistent with our performances, I would like this to continue, but plenty of work to do and both the girls and I know that the season can change with a loss so just take each game as it comes and the rest will fall into place hopefully.

How would you describe today’s game?
Having previously beaten Causeway Bay we knew that it wasn’t going to be the same team turning up on their home pitch and that scoring opportunities would be few and far between. As expected, we were defending in the opening stanza and were caught on the backfoot at times, but to our credit we withstood forward exchanges in the ruck areas and in general play around the pitch. We had a few key members of our squad out with injury and this offered me a chance to see what depth I have in this team and to make starting spots a challenge weekly.

Mel Li scoring a try

The 19-0 half-time scoreline was flattering to us as Causeway Bay had defended staunchly in the first half. Some individual brilliance from our winger Aggie Poon – a chip and re-gather try – at the start of the second half provided the impetuous as both teams played with vigor and passion, attack on attack canceling each other out. The defense from both teams was of a very high standard, a few areas where we lost control caused some problems for us but in the end we were fortunate to dominate the later stages of the match, including a hat trick of tries to Aggie. Kwan, Yung, Sharon T, Melody and Po Kei were dominant in their positions and I’d like to give a special mention to Po Kei Man as she leaves our team on a high to pursue her career, we wish Po Kei all the best. Final score Gai WU 36-0 over Causeway Bay. Valley next week is our biggest challenge, again.
