The Dog River Howlers Rugby Club with a total touring party of some 68 people entered 5 teams in the 2012 Las Vegas Invitational Tournament (February 9 to 11) which included 251 teams from around the world competing in 21 divisions.  Overall we had a record of 16 wins and 9 losses. We won the Women's Open 7's Division and came second in the Women's Elite 7's Division. Our other teams as you can see below also had a great results considering their level of competition along with the fact that many of their opponents practise and play together on a regular basis, whereas we got together one day prior to the event. This was for many of our players their first experience with higher level 7's which will in turn I'm sure will serve as a springboard for their future competitive 7's careers. The off field activities as for all Howlers tours were as always epic starting with the traditional court sessions. The rest of the activities course falls under the classic rugby saying - "what goes on tour, stays on tour".
