FORMER Australian rugby sevens international Pama Fou is the latest high-profile signing for the McDonald’s Mike Friday Select 7s ahead of the McDonald’s Coral Coast Fiji 7s in Sigatoka next year.

Fou joins an impressive international lineup featuring South African Blitzboks stars Branco Du Preez and Justin Geduld, alongside French sevens maestro Terry Bouhraoua.

The 2027 tournament will be held at Lawaqa Park from January 14-16.

Known for his explosive power, athleticism and strong ball-carrying ability, Fou is expected to add physicality and attacking strength to the Mike Friday-coached side.

The Select 7s will be making their third consecutive appearance at the tournament, hoping to finally secure the Coral Coast title after finishing runners-up in 2025 and reaching the semi-finals in 2026.

With four international players already confirmed, further announcements are expected in the coming days as Friday continues to strengthen his squad.

The 2027 tournament will mark the 15th edition of the Coral Coast Fiji 7s, which continues to attract international rugby talent to Fiji.

Organisers have also confirmed free entry for spectators across all three days of competition.
