Aussie Thunderbolts and Aussie Pearls confirm participation at Fiji Coral Coast 7s

The Aussie Thunderbolts and Aussie Pearls have confirmed their participation at the Bayleys Fiji Coral Coast 7s in January next year.

Both the Australian sevens teams have qualified for the Olympic Games in Rio next year and would use this as a build-up tournament.

This would be even more special as Fiji-born wing Henry Speight will be playing for the Aussie Thunderbolts.

The Aussie Thunderbolts reached the Cup semifinals in 2012 while the Aussie Pearls return as defending Crest Na Iri Trophy champion.

The Men’s and women’s teams are also travelling from New Zealand, Germany, Samoa, Tonga and the USA.

15 teams will feature in the sixth edition of the Bayleys Fiji Coral Coast Sevens from the 14th to 16th of January next year.
