17 February, 2021, Vientiane Capital, Lao PDR: DHL Vientiane 10s Results
On January 30-31, 2021, over 300 players from 21 teams gathered in Vientiane to participate in the DHL Vientiane 10s. This year’s competition was its 14th iteration in Laos and the 3rd year of LRF’s collaboration with our counterparts in Vietnam to host the DHL Vientiane – Hanoi 10s Series. The Vientiane competition featured teams at the senior and U17 levels, each divided into men’s and women’s divisions. In addition to 14 Lao teams returning from the 2020 competition, the LRF was proud to welcome seven new teams this year from three provinces in Laos, demonstrating the rapid growth of domestic rugby across the country.
The Vientiane Lions Women continued their winning streak in the competition by sweeping the Cup Final for the fifth year in a row, while the Lao Barbarians lifted the Senior Men’s Cup trophy for their first time. The Vientiane Tigers dominated a very competitive youth division, winning Cup Finals for both the Men’s and Women’s U17 divisions. Full results of the competition can be found below.
The Lao Rugby Federation would like to thank DHL for their support as the Title Sponsor for the Vientiane – Hanoi 10s Competition Series, which made these tournaments possible. LRF would also like the recognise the contributions of sponsors and partners including Inthira Group, Vientiane College, DAC, the British Embassy in Vientiane, ChildFund, Laureus Sport for Good, and YuGoal. Furthermore, we would like to thank World Rugby and Asia Rugby for their long-term support in building the capacity of the LRF to host high-calibre rugby competitions, and most importantly, the Elite Sports Department of the Lao Ministry of Education and Sports for its guidance and support to the LRF.
