2015 TAG WORLD CUP: Sunshine Coast, Australia
The 2015 Tag World Cup took place on the Sunshine Coast in Australia. This was the second time that Great Britain had competed at the Tag World Cup. The decision was taken to send two teams, Mixed Open and Men’s 30’s, to ensure the depth and talent in the squads was at its peak. The Mixed Open team just missed out on the quarter finals, after two narrow losses in the pool stage. The Men’s 30s team exceeded expectations by qualifying for their first ever World Cup quarter final appearance, before losing 4-10 to the Australia Indigenous.

One of the highlights of their tournament was also a 5-3 loss to eventual champions New Zealand (this was closer than Australia got to New Zealand in the World Cup final).
