In 2019, Singapore announced that it would continue to host the event for another four years until at least 2023.
The 2022/2023 World Rugby Seven Series started in November last year, with Australia seeing off Fiji 20-17 in the Cup final at the Hong Kong Stadium. There were two legs in Dec, with South Africa defeating Ireland 21-5 in Dubai and Samoa with a 12-7 win over New Zealand in Cape Town, South Africa. Earlier this year, in January, the World Rugby Sevens resumed its action in Hamilton. But the hosts failed to capitalise on home-ground advantage, as New Zealand were defeated 14-12 by Argentina.
This year’s edition also comes packed with delicious food, fun activities and unique engagements for fans and spectators of every age. There will be activities for children aged six and below to enjoy at the Super Mart and Hot Wheels zones, while kids aged seven to 12 can get their groove on at the Roller Kids and Roller Disco Zones. There will be instructors present, and gear available for use, newbies to pros are welcome to skate away.
If rugby isn’t adrenaline-pumping enough, fans can be one with the force and train to be Jedi with Singapore’s own Saber Authority. Get hands-on experience with various lightsaber fighting styles – and perhaps even a duel of the fates.
