  • World Cup of Pool 27 June 2017
    GROUP PRESS RELEASE SIMONIS® – ARAMITH® – STRACHAN® FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Austria Win 2017 World Cup of Pool Team AUSTRIA has won the prestigious 2017 12BET World Cup of Pool. The Austria team of Mario He and Albin Ouschan did it the hard way by beating a strong and determined team USA by 10 frames to 6 in an exciting and closely matched final. Winning the prestigious scotch doubles title for the first time; the Austrians secured the magnificent trophy, gold medals as well as $60,000 to split. Although disappointed, Shane Van Boening and Skyler Woodward can console themselves with a cheque for $30,000 and the added bonus of playing so well as a team ahead of the 2017 Mosconi Cup in December. Earlier in the day both teams had assumed the underdog role in their semi-finals but won through, with Austria beating China and the USA getting the better of Chinese Taipei. That set up the race to 10 final which got underway in sweltering conditions in the famous York Hall in the heart of London’s bustling East End. The critical moment came in the 12th game, when the US took the bolder option of a pot when the safety might have been the option. Woodward missed the pot and from there Austria levelled it at 6-6. It was to be the USA’s last meaningful contribution to the game as Austria took the next four to win the 12BET World Cup of Pool. The tournament was available live in over 100 countries around the world.

"It is a great draw," said U.S. National Freestyle Coach Bill Zadick. "Last year, we were drawn into the 'Pool of Death,' and our guys rose to the occasion. This year, we have a strong pool with Iran, Georgia and Japan. We are going to have to fight to get out of our pool. Our guys are coming into it with that attitude." The United States and Russia, the top two countries at the 2017 World Championships in Paris, France, were separated into opposite pools prior to the draw.

  • Rugby World Cup: the Story So Far
    Rugby World Cup: The story so far RUGBY WORLD CUP : THE STORY SO FAR World Rugby takes a stroll down memory lane to look back at the eight previous women’s editions of Rugby World Cup. New Zealand will become the first southern hemisphere nation to host the women’s edition of Rugby World Cup in 2021, in what promises to be the biggest and best event yet. Defending champions the Black Ferns, meanwhile, would become the first team to lift the trophy on home soil should they emerge victorious. The inaugural event in Wales in April 1991 was won by USA, before England won in Scotland three years later. New Zealand have won five of the last six tournaments, with England breaking that run in 2014. From its humble beginnings to a 2017 edition which was televised around the globe and attracted a record final attendance of 17,115, Rugby World Cup is expected to reach even greater heights in 2021 and be the most competitive tournament to date. WOMEN’S RUGBY WORLD CUP 1991 Host nation: Wales Dates: 6-14 April Pool 1 – New Zealand, Canada, Wales Pool 2 – France, Sweden, Japan Pool 3 – USA, Netherlands, USSR Pool 4 – England, Spain, Italy Semi-finals New Zealand 0-7 USA England 13-0 France Final USA 19-6 England Winning coaches: Kevin O’Brien and Chris Leach Twelve teams took part in the inaugural tournament in hosts Wales, Canada, England, France, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden, USA and the USSR with the teams split into four pools of three.
