Description

The CHEVRON Beijing Niu Xiongdi (Brothers) Rugby Union Club was formed in February 2007 by a group of Pacific Island students studying in Beijing's numerous Universities. The plans to form this club, spearheaded by Tongan students Saimone Lavakei'aho and Tupou Vaipulu were however hatched with the assistance of PNG student Thomas Kugam during the pre-Christmas drinks held at the PNG Embassy on Thursday, 15 December, 2006. And with the sympathethic ear lent to the cause by Chevron boss, Isikeli Taureka, as they say, the rest is history.
Together with the handful of ex-Nongda players led by former Chinese Internationals Leo Li, Niu Jian, Chen Changping, Gao Xuetong, Zhang Xin, Yu Zhang, and Sixiang Ma, the Beijing Xiongdi commenced their innaugural campaign in the 2007 Beijing Cup competition under the Presidency of former Beijing devils RFU frontliner, Lahui Ako.
The club, in its innaugural year had players from China, PNG, Fiji, Vanuatu, FSM, Samoa, Tonga, and Norway - and made its first international tour to Seoul, Korea on Saturday, 12 May 2007 to play the Seoul Survivors RFU. In May 2008, the Xiongdi played in PNG against the PNGDF-combine rugby side and Port Moresby President's 15. The Xiongdi trophy cabinet now includes - the 2007 Shanghai International 7s PLATE Trophy; the 2008 Beijing Cup, and the 2009 Beijing Ice-Breaker Cup - with ample space for more. Still, despite this original composition, the Xiongdi still welcome players of all tribes, creed, size, shape, age, and beliefs - because after all, what are brothers for, eh?
