Junior in Rugby Sevens
I was the Liaison Officer for the Samoa rugby team that won the Hong Kong International Rugby 7s final against New Zealand in March
They had early morning worship prayers and sharing bible verses at 5:30am in the Hotel they stayed in one week before the tourney started .They pray and sing hymns on the bus on the way to training, they pray before training and after training. and Waking up early in the morning to join their prayer time was too early , but it was a good re disciplinary process to me.
Wining the best rugby 7s tournament in the world infront of the 40,000 crowd was a great feeling. The team quickly circled around in the middle of the pitch and sing praise to God and prayed. The words came out of their mouths were .."Thank you God we praise your name "!!.. continously.
After recieving their trophy, we went back in the changing room and spent another hour of praise and worship while all the media are waiting , instead of waiting they decided to join us because they had no option , otherwise we don't care
The win was a good thing but the team attitude in honoring God was a blessing. Tears of joy and happiness coming down on the players faces after a long week end of competition, but my tears was about seeing them did not forget to honour God in their finest hour. It's an AMAZING joy to see that and thank God for them.
Last we went back to the hotel and another worship and thanks giving to God Again before we headed to the ceremony to recieving our championship cup of the Hong Kong rugby sevens where every team will bring their best players. wining in Hong kong sevens is the highest and best thing to achieve out of all the legs of the sevens series around the world.
The coaches always remind the players, "that our hope is on Christ alone! We take the win and enjoy it, but we got depend on God and work hard." they have a good foundation and well balance moto:... Honor God, pray hard and train hard.
