Message from the EUSA Technical Delegate – Rugby 7’s

Dear Friends,

It is our great pleasure to welcome all

guests and participants to the Rugby

7s tournament during the EUG2016

in Zagreb.

We assure you that we, and the

Organizing Committee, will do

everything that is possible in order

to arrange a great tournament and a

great stay in Zagreb where you will

meet many old and new friends from

the European Rugby family.

Special thanks to the OC and all the

volunteers for all their hard work in

preparing and running what hope-

fully will be the best EUG Rugby 7s

to date. Also special thanks to the

referees and Rugby Europe for their

participation in the EUG Rugby 7s. We

are certain that their work will be very

appreciated by all participating teams

and prove to be a positive benefit to

the quality of the game.

The competition for men and

women looks to be strong and fierce!

We wish you all the best of luck

and may all matches be played keep-

ing in mind fair play and especially

according to the spirit of the game.

That spirit which makes rugby a truly

beautiful sport and family!

Message from the OC Technical Delegate – Rugby 7’s

Dear EUG 2016 participants,

It gives me great pleasure to welcome

all athletes, coaches, referees and

volunteers to the third European

Universities Games, where the Rugby

7s competition will be held from 12 to

14 of July 2016 in Zagreb, at Croatian

national team’s home ground, Stjepan

Spajić Stadium.

Rugby 7s is a new Olympic sport,

with premiere in Rio de Janeiro 2016

Olympic games and we are glad it has

also been included in such a big event

as the European Universities Games.

Hereby I would like to thank the EUG

team for organizing the biggest part of

our tournament and all of our partners

and volunteers for their support in

realization of this project.

On behalf of Croatian Rugby Union

and all of rugby community, I wish you

a great tournament and lots of fun in

beautiful Zagreb. We are excited to

see you here with all the affection and

appreciation for the efforts you have

done to get here.

Thank you!

Većeslav HoljevacCroatian Rugby Union

Fair play

Fair play is deeply embedded in the

values of EUSA. The objective of

promotion and encouragement of

Fair Play is set already in the statutes

of EUSA, as part of the core objecti-

ves of the organisation. Partnership

with the European Fair Play Move-

ment in 2013 proves this even more.

Since 2007, EUSA announces the best

gesture of fair play in its sports event

for the current year and awards the

winners the special fair play reco-

gnition, Enno Harms Fair Play Award,

named after the first EUSA President,

very much devoted to fair play.

During each of the EUSA sporting

event, the organisers, EUSA repre-

sentatives and technical delegates

pay special attention to the fair play

gestures and attitude. At every sports

event a part of the protocol is the

oath of the athletes and officials,

which includes respecting fair-play.

In some team sports, the athletes

demonstrating fair play during the

matches, following the rules and

pursuing a “clean” game are awarded

with a fair play recognition already

during the event. The prestigious

annual EUSA Enno Harms Fair Play

Award, though, is awarded to the

best example of fair play, for the

individual’s or team’s mentality and

actions which stand out the most.

EUSA Executive Committee mem-

bers on its last meeting in a year

discuss the proposals received from

all sporting events governed by EUSA

in that year and select the team or

individual to receive the annual fair

play award which is formally han-

ded to them at a special occasion

– usually at an EUSA Gala event.


Anti-Doping Policy

Doping is not a guarantee of success

in sport. In fact, its effect is usually the

opposite. A lot of elite sportsmen and

sportswomen who did doping got

caught. As a result, they lost pride and

were banned for at least 2 years from

participating in a sport they loved and

lived for. An even bigger problem of

doping are the effects on the body.

In elite sports, doping is defined

as a violation of one or more

anti-doping rules:

1 Presence of a prohibited substance in an athlete’s sample

2 Use or attempted use of a prohibited substance or method

3 Refusing to submit sample collection after being notified

4 Failure to file athlete whereabouts information & missed tests

5 Tampering with any part of the doping control process

6 Possession of a prohibited substance or method

7 Trafficking a prohibited substance or method

8 Administering or attempting to administer a prohibited substance or method to an athlete

You can find the list of prohibited

substances and methods on the in-

ternet. It’s updated every year by the

World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)

and it’s valid for every sport. You

should check every substance you are

taking. Athletes need to completely

avoid steroids, erythropoietin (EPO),

stimulants, human growth hormo-

ne (HGH), marijuana and narcotics,

and pay special attention also to

dietary or nutritional supplements.

EUSA is active in Anti-Doping

promotion, and has been a partner in

the European Anti-Doping Initiative

(EADI), project aimed at establishing

an European-wide Anti-Doping men-

tality in the youth sector by establis-

hing a moral tenor towards concepts

such as Fair-play, sensitizing and

raising awareness on all levels of the

complex social environment surro-

unding the doping problematic and

implementing strategies to motivate

young people to pass on the message

and create a strong multiplying effect.

Also the International University

Sport Federation (FISU) has been

actively promoting sports without

drugs, also on university sport level.

EUSA is currently not enforcing do-

ping tests at our events. In accordan-

ce with the national legislation of the

host countries, however, doping con-

trols may be implemented by the Na-

tional Anti-Doping Agencies. If such

doping tests are executed, the WADA

rules and regulations are applicable to

all athletes. Please remember that te-

sting can be conducted in-competiti-

on and out-of-competition. If you are

identified in a Registered Testing Pool

(RTP), you must provide current and

accurate whereabouts information.

What can you do to be an excellent

sportsman or sportswoman?

• Practise right and live healthy

• Get more information about consequences of Doping

• Play fair and be a good role model to younger athletes

• BE COMMITED TO SPORT WITHOUT DOPING

Doping? No, thanks!


About Rugby in Croatia

When you mention rugby to the

average person in Croatia, they

would probably think of a bunch

of hooligans playing some strange

game, or wouldn’t know anything

about it. But contrary to these

popular beliefs, rugby is, as we

like to say, a tough game played

by gentlemen, with values such as

team work, respect and passion.

Rugby has a long history in Croatia

and has been around since the

fifties. Today there are 22 clubs in

the country, centred around Zagreb

in the North and Split in the South,

with increasing popularity from

year to year. With stiff competition

from more popular sports (football,

basketball, handball), rugby still has

it’s own followers and a growing and

loyal community, which gives us a

glimpse of rugby’s bright future.
