Two to play at Mount Manganui 7s

Whilst the majority of us have had the past two weeks off, both the Wellington Men’s and Women’s teams have been training hard with the aim of winning next weekend’s Bayleys National Sevens.

Marist St Pats' Isaia Petelo and Monica Tagao'i will again participate in the Men's and Women's teams respectively.

Preparation for next weekend takes a step up this Saturday with both teams travelling to Mount Manganui to participate in the Nationals warmup Bay Engineers Sevens tournament.

Men’s Sevens coach Scott Waldrom was quick to point out the importance of the tournament, noting that no team in recent years had won the Bayleys National Sevens without taking part in the Bay Engineers tournament. Waldrom said: “This is a vital warm up for us ahead of the Nationals and a further opportunity for some of our boys to press their claims for national honours.”

Meanwhile the Women’s Sevens team will be wanting to continue building off the success of 2015 that saw them pipped at the post in the Central Region Sevens final.
