World Schools Sevens: Familiar names in Samoa, Fiji and Cook Islands teams

The inaugural World Schools Sevens rugby tournament is being hosted by Sacred Heart College in Auckland tomorrow.

The 10-team event features five different countries, with the US women unable to attend due to funding. There will be over a dozen national secondary schools representative players on display and if the tournament is a success the prospects of growth are good.

The tournament is the brainchild of Condor Sevens organiser Phil Gaze and can be seen on Sky TV from 10am Saturday. College Sport Media will have full coverage as well.
