A star studded Eiffel Ruggers team consisting of Fijian players playing in France are going to participate in the Radradra 7s tournament, which is on June 19-22 at Welagi grounds in Taveuni.

The side led by Fiji Airways Flying Fijians centre Semi Radrdra will also have Olympian Josua Tuisova, his brother Filipo Nakosi, prop Peni Ravai and former Wallabies winger Eto Nabuli.

Speaking to SUNsports yesterday, tournament media and marketing manager James Vunituraga said 40 teams have confirmed their participation.

“We are excited to announce that we have gone past the initial 32 teams and are now accommodating 40 in the four-day tournament,” Vunituraga said

“This clearly shows the level of support and development for the betterment of grassroots rugby.

“I encourage the general public to please come out in numbers and get the opportunity to watch some of our Flying Fijians play before they go to camp to prepare for the July test series.

“For the under-20 men’s competiton we have 12 teams registered so far.”
