The McDonald’s Fiji Coral Coast Sevens aims to enhance its tournament experience each year. Tournament committee chairman Jay Whyte expressed the growing desire for local spectators to enjoy quality international sevens rugby without the costs associated with the HSBC Series.
He emphasized the importance of increasing the competition’s quality annually and ensuring a fun atmosphere for both spectators and special guests. A new feature of this year’s tournament is the fan zone, which will allow attendees to take pictures and receive autographs from international rugby stars. Additional dining options and kiosks are also set to enhance the spectator experience.
To further elevate the tournament, Whyte mentioned the return of Rasta Rasivhenge to handle social media communications and the recruitment of a highly regarded international commentary team, which includes well-known figures like Shaun Maloney and Waisale Serevi. He urged rugby enthusiasts to attend, stating that the opportunity to witness an international sevens event in their own community is not one to be missed.
Whyte highlighted the excitement of possibly seeing matches between New Zealand and Fiji, which could lead to thrilling finals. This event not only fosters community spirit but also brings together fans and players from around the globe to celebrate the love of rugby.
Overall, the commitment to improving the tournament year after year bodes well for the future of local sports events in Fiji, promoting a sense of unity and enthusiasm around the sport while showcasing the country’s vibrant rugby culture.
