The British Army Rugby team won the IDRC 2011 in the final match (International Defense Rugby Competition 2011), but who's actions were considered questionable, as they had selected over half their team from Pacific Islander Fijians who were in British military, allied recruits for the tournament. Tactical wise, it was a good move considering the opponents.
The results though were clear and in, and proved again, the Rugby dominance of South Pacific island models, with the top four teams from the Polynesian regions. The Samoa Police head coach Taulapapa Siaosi Toilolo, now has a place in International Rugby History. Samoan community were very pleased with the team’s efforts, and Taulapapa Siaosi Toilolo described the win and international placing as “a tremendous result”. He also thanked the Australian and New Zealand Defense Forces for hosting the event.
