South Africa will be leading the charge after
winning all four legs of the series so far. Their consistent
performances in Dubai and Spain have put them in a strong position
and they will be looking to defend their title in Singapore.
The
HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens will also see the return of Fiji, the
current Olympic champions, and New Zealand, the 2020 Series
champion. Both countries are making their return to the series
after missing the previous rounds.
Beyond the action on the field of play, rugby fans
can participate in other activities at the 100Plus Promenade.
Dubbed the Family Sevens, fringe activities will include an array
of family friendly activities such as a bouncy castle and movie
screenings. Music fans will also be entertained by live
performances from local band, Jive Talkin’ and Zouk DJ, Jeremy
Boon, who are set to turn up the energy levels with their distinct
and upbeat tunes.
The event also marks the first time a major sporting
event in Singapore will be allowing food and beverage options,
including alcohol, within the spectator stands since the start of
the COVID19 pandemic.
