One of the exciting new features introduced this year is a fan zone area, where attendees can take photographs with special guests and obtain autographs. The tournament aims to enrich the experience with various eateries and kiosks available to the public.
Whyte emphasized the continuous improvement of the event, mentioning the return of Rasta Rasivhenge for social media communications and an international commentary team that includes notable figures such as Shaun Maloney, Karl Tenana, and Waisale Serevi.
He urged rugby fans across the nation to come out in support of the tournament set to take place next week at Lawaqa Park. “We are bringing an international sevens event right to our doorstep; it’s an easily accessible opportunity to witness who will emerge as champions,” he said. The anticipation is palpable, especially with the prospect of an exciting clash, potentially featuring teams from New Zealand and Fiji in the finals.
This event not only promises thrilling rugby but also serves as a showcase of community spirit and enthusiasm for the sport, making it a much-anticipated occasion for fans.
