Team spirit and hard work, coupled with a love for rugby has earned a group of CPUT students a lifetime opportunity to play against some of the top sevens rugby teams in France.
The CPUT sevens rugby team recently made history when they became the first team from the university to compete in an international sevens tournament in France
The team, which comprises of students from the Mowbray, Wellington, Bellville and Cape Town Campuses, competed in the Stanislas Sevens in Nancy and the Centrale 7 tournament in Paris.
Acting Dean of Students, Advocate Lionel Harper, commended the team for their achievement.
In 2013, they clinched the top spot at the University Sports South African tournament after winning seven of their eight games. Their outstanding performance earned them an invite to compete in France.
The students were accompanied by staff members, Loki Manise, Llwellyn Appel and coach Ivan Solomons.
