The International Cup featured London based players from the following countries; Australia, England, France, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland, Wales & the Barbarians (all other nationalities).

In the Mixed A grade, the Kiwis were looking for their first ever title in this division. They started strong going through the pool stages undefeated. London New Zealand only lost one match on their way to the final which was against England who they were due to meet again in the grand final.

In an entertaining final which saw Kiwi, Asher Fernie-Harper come up with an absolute brilliant try saving tag to keep the Kiwis in the lead, London New Zealand managed to secure their maiden Mixed A grade title and send captain, Jenika Stubelj off on a winning note!
