The 29th year of the world famous Rugby 7s competition sees the team entries grow to the biggest in history with 54 teams gracing the three pitch set up at the Byron memorial recreation fields in the centre of town.

There is a huge Coopers fan zone bar with DJ Ha Yes and friends setting the vibe while you keep refreshed and hydrated whilst watching games from the three different competition categories playing rugby in its fastest form.

This year sees a special team entry from the FNC Rugby Prop stars in the Mens Social competition, with a private VIP area, interviews, autograph signings and much more, make sure you do not miss out on the world first Rugby 7s team featuring only Props in every position.
