We have held other 7's tournaments in the past, but teams from outside of Swaziland were invited to participate.
The Rugby union executive decided that the only way we could develop local club 7's Rugby was to hold a tournament wherebye only clubs from within the Swaziland could compete against each other and we would then have a truely 'Swazi' champion club. Eight clubs have confirmed their participation. The other exciting part of the club 7's tournament is that it will be held at the Mavuso Sports Centre the new home of Swaziland Rugby. We could not ask for a better venue for the first club Rugby 7's tournament" said Nkambule. The date for the Swazi Club 7's will be Saturday September 18th.
