Wasps Community Rugby Coach Ryan Hunt thought the Tournament was an excellent event and told TringRugby, "The popularity and growth of Girls Rugby in our community has been excellent and will hopefully gain even more profile when England host the upcoming 2010 Rugby World Cup. We are trying to do more to access the Women's & Girl's Games and look forward to continuing our partnerships to fully embrace the opportunities available to us." Hert's Women's Rugby Chairman, Peter McCullough said "the event was the largest held by Hert's RFU ladies section and to his knowledge the largest women's event held in the UK todate and it was a credit to all at TringRugby that the day went smoothly and all who attended left with positive comments."
