PHNOM PENH, Oct 5, 2007 (AFP) - Cambodia's national women's rugby team will make its debut Saturday when the first ever Asian Rugby Football Union Women's sevens tournament kicks off at the kingdom's Olympic Stadium.

The Cambodian side will face teams from Singapore, Laos, Thailand and South Korea, Philippe Monnin, secretary general of the Cambodian Rugby Federation, said Friday.

'It is very important because it is the first time they are playing against other national teams,' Monnin told AFP, but added that the women still lack international experience.
