Bangkok Rugby Sevens cancelled
Play
Flooding in and around Don Muang has forced organisers to cancel the Bangkok Rugby Sevens tournament which was due to be held this weekend.
Chairman of the event David Dufall said 14 foreign teams had been due to fly to Thailand from as far away as France, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia – and he didn’t want them to make the trip then not be able to play.
The annual international men’s and women’s sevens tournaments were scheduled for October 28-30 at the Police Stadium but parts of Don Muang are already under water.
“All tournament sponsors and Thai-based teams have been advised, and arrangements and planning for the 18th annual event, in 2012, will now begin, with many of this year’s international teams already committing their support to Bangkok’s “best Sevens in Southeast Asia”, he said.
