The stage is set for an action-packed finale as the third and final leg of the Flame Tree Waimanu Sevens kicks off tomorrow at the Sawani Primary School grounds in Vuna, Naitasiri.
Rugby fans can expect thrilling matches as teams battle for glory in what has become one of Tikina O Vuna’s most talked-about tournaments.
Sponsored by Flame Tree Development Ltd, the event has not only showcased raw rugby talent, but also driven a mission to uplift youth and communities.
Tournament director Alipate Navuso said the series has been a game-changer for young players in Sawani and Colo-i-Suva, offering them a platform to sharpen their skills and stay focused on positive goals.
“This tournament is about more than rugby, it’s about giving our youth a purpose and keeping them away from negative influences like drugs and alcohol,” Navuso explained.
Over the course of the series, the tournament has attracted growing support from local communities, who have embraced its vision of unity and opportunity.
The Flametree Green team, winners of the first two legs, hopes to make it a hat-trick as they face off against hungry challengers.
Their dominant performance has set high expectations, and all eyes will be on them as they vie for victory. With plans already underway for participants to feature in the prestigious Fiji Bitter Sevens Series, tomorrow’s matches mark the culmination of a journey that has sparked hope and excitement for the future of rugby in Naitasiri.
