Small is Beautiful.

Well it is in the Ladies finale any way. One of the most intriguing battles will be between the two opposing number 9's. For Uppsala, there is the talent of Sofia Torstensson, a member of the victorious EM squad this year and who is somebody who never gives up. Full of determination and with a genuine sprinters speed, she can cause problems for the opposition. Somebody whom we are told is very approachable.
Against her and playing for Goteborg, Sarah Sexton. Lacking in experience at scrum half but nevertheless a young lady full of talent, who has developed as the season has unfolded. Still eager to learn the trade of a scrum half, don't be surprised if she pulls on an International shirt before too long.






So in the spirit of fairness we thought it right and proper, we put the same questions to Sarah and Sofia, as we did to the men.                
                                 What Nationality are you?
Swedish/Scottish                      I'm Swedish                       
                                    Your Position/s?
Scrum-half/Wing        I started out on the wing as pretty much
                                 everybody and now I'm scrum half.
                                 I've also played 10 this season 
                                         Your Age
 18                                                       21
                                   International Caps?
-                                I think I've played 5 with 15-aside,
                                 and I've played two tournaments
                                 with 7aside.    
                              When did you start playing?
Started playing when I was 10 years old.       2005

                           What are your plans for the future?
To play rugby                To play the 2010 World Cup 
                           Has the season lived up to your expectations?
 So far yes! :)         We're in the finals now all we need is a win
                           How do you think the next match will go?
Hopefully we will win!         I expect us to win the next match.
                     What has been your highlight of the season, so far?
That we played so well and won       Winning the series.
the first final match                                     
                        What has been the lowpoint of your season?
The two matches we drew.    Loosing previous game against
 (Uppsala vs GRF 12-12)    Gothenburg because we didn't play
 (Enkoping vs GRF 7-7)      well enough.


Many thanks to both players for their views.

  1. Both ladies played pretty well for the first 30 minutes, with Sofia just edging it. Probably due to having the better pack. Sarah performed ok, considering the ball she was getting from her forwards and she was much more assured when Sofia moved to 10. So fairly even.
    Two good players, with bright futures.
