The Australian Women’s and Men’s Sevens teams will host superpowers New Zealand and Fiji at the inaugural Kick On 7s on Friday, the 16th of October at the Woollahra Oval.

The Friday night festival of rugby will see the reigning world champion Australian Women’s Sevens team take on the two-time Olympic gold medal-winning Black Ferns in a double-header while Australia’s Men will tackle dual Olympic champions Fiji across two preparation matches in the first-of-its-kind event.

A Friday night double-header between our Aussie Men’s Sevens team and the two-time Olympic champions Fiji will no doubt be a wonderful spectacle and a great addition to the Australian Rugby calendar.

The Fijians are renowned throughout the rugby world for their flamboyancy and physicality and our Australian squad finished last season’s HSBC SVNS series strongly.

The Kick on 7s event will be followed by a historic quadruple-header on Saturday, October 17 at Accor Stadium, with all four senior Teams in Gold playing at the same place for the first time in history.

Live DJs will be performing throughout the evening as Australia’s elite Sevens players sharpen their preparation for the HSBC SVNS world series, including the fan-favourite Perth event, and the Los Angeles Olympics by taking on two of the most successful nations in the history of the format.
