Rugby Sevens Tournament Coming To The Isle Of Wight

A new Rugby Sevens tournament and festival is coming to the Isle of Wight, featuring top male and female players from across the world.

The globally popular 7-a-side version of rugby union is fast-paced, and rewards evasive running and a high degree of skill - over two halves of seven minutes.

The South Island Sevens will feature top class rugby, with teams set to attend from the UK, Fiji, South Africa and Nigeria. The British Army, Royal Navy and the RAF have also confirmed their attendance, which will consist of 24 teams.

Smoke and Fire Festivals will be hosting the Isle of Wight’s first Cider and Fire Festival, and there will also be a VIP hospitality area provided by UKSA, a Mermaid Gin bar, food, a beer bar and other entertainment.

The two-day event is taking place at Ventnor Rugby Club on May 21 and 22.
