November 5, 2017 5:14 pm

The Oceania 7s tournament has come a long way in the last seven years and is expected to be bigger and better this year.

A very prime example is New Zealand bringing the core of the team that will take part in the World Series from next month.

Tournament Director, Wayne Schuster says, this is sure to boost the tournament in terms of the level of competition.

“Through their own development strategies they would previously send a development team. New Zealand has played very fewer Oceania tournaments. We are delighted they are on board this year and they have shown that commitment to our Oceania 7s concept.”

The Oceania 7s will be held this Friday and Saturday at Suva’s ANZ Stadium.

Meanwhile, the Fiji Airways Flying Fijians will play Italy in its first European tour match this Sunday.
