France win inaugural "World 9s" in Catalonia

Some leagues do play (or at least have played) 9s in Australia - the Sapphire Coast AFL around Merimbula and Eden used to play 9-a-side in reserves (if I remember correctly). A mate of mine played ressies there sometimes, he said they played on a full-size ground and it tended to turn into corridor footy.

The Omeo DFL in Gippsland also plays 16-a-side (or possibly 14-a-side, not sure), plus they don't have reserve grade. For this reason, struggling clubs from other nearby leagues sometimes move to the Omeo league, even if it means driving a few hours for a game on occasions.
