Samurai Rugby was formed in 1996 when Terry Sands was asked to enter a team in to the 25th anniversary of the Amsterdam Sevens tournament.
Terry had been working in South Africa at the 1995 Rugby World Cup where he remembered and admired the great spirit of the Japanese team. The Japanese team lacked the size and technique required for the 15-man game, but were passionate, adventurous, enthusiastic and just loved to run with the ball. The team embodied everything you would look for to become a successful 7's team. With the Japanese Ethos in mind it was decided to name this all new invitation 7's side The Samurai.
They won their first event, the 25th Anniversary Amsterdam Sevens tournament, in style. In their first season they won all 3 of the tournaments entered and went on in 1997 to successfully defend their Amsterdam 7s crown.
Within four years Samurai Rugby had become the most well known invitation 7s side in the UK and through some fine performances were fast becoming known all over the World.
It was in 2000 that Samurai Rugby really came of age as they were asked to compete in the prestigious Middlesex Sevens tournament held at Twickenham in August, an honor that very few invitation teams had ever received. With backing from American company 3dfx a team was put together with players from Fiji, Australia, South Africa and the UK. Disposing of London Wasps in the first round the team then faced the mighty Penguins team in the quarter final. The team included Eric Rush, Waisale Serevi, Craig DiGoldi, Cameron Pither and Viliame Satala and formed possibly the best World 7 ever seen. Samuria performed admirably losing 19-10
2000 was a pivotal year for the team. The Samurai team now included players from all over the World so the Samurai committee decided to change the club’s name to Samurai International RFC. At the same time another name change took place, as Sands Rugby Gear supply company Titan Sports, became Samurai Sportswear. Then, at the end of the year Norwich Based Loss recovery specialists ULR signed up a 3-year sponsorship deal with the Club.
With funding now a little easier, more tournaments were entered and a unique and exclusive range of Samurai replica kit was offered for sale throughout the UK, with the famous ‘rising sun’ name patch, club logo and full ULR branding.
In June 2002 the Samurai team were able to reap revenge over the famous Penguin team as they won the Lisbon 7s. Beating a Penguin team, that again included Wasiale Serevi, in the final 37 – 19. The following year their fantastic Lisbon achievement was added to, as they beat the British Army in the final of the International Cayman Island 7s
In 2005 ULR have continued their long standing support and the Samurai team have been able to make history yet again as they have pulled off a fantastic treble with back to back wins at Amsterdam, Rome and the Cayman Islands
This year Samurai International RFC comprises players from Fiji’s Red Rock. Red Rock are three times Fiji BP Oil Series Champions and past champions of this tournament. Samurai International have won the tournament twice, in 2003 and 2005. And this year….

The Cayman Presidents team provide a local flavour to the tournament.
This year’s team comes to the tournament with a good chance of success. The team consists of a number of local players including Venasio Tokatokavanua from Fiji, currently in Cayman to coach the Cayman Junior Rugby Academy. Venasio has lit up the field in Cayman since his arrival having previously won the Cayman Sevens in 2004 with Red Rock.
Venasio is to be joined by Dave Strettle of England and Oli Brown and Charlie Keenan from Scotland providing Cayman with some additional international experience. Rotherham winger David Strettle made a sensational start to his England Sevens career at the IRB Wellington Sevens in 2006, scoring five tries in his first match, and earning his place in the record books. Oli and Charlie are no strangers to the tournament having played a few times for Ecosse, previously winners and last year’s runners up.
This will be the strongest side yet fielded by Cayman and should be lifted by huge crowd support and home field advantage. How far can they go?
