IRB sevens schedule out

FIJI will begin defense of its IRB world sevens title on December 2-3 when the opening tournament of the 10-round, 2016-17 season is held in Dubai, followed a week later in Cape Town.

The Fijians clinched their second consecutive series title last weekend by advancing to the quarterfinals of the London Sevens, which featured Scotland’s first tournament title. Fiji will be favorites at the inaugural rugby sevens tournament at the Rio Olympics in August. World Rugby said in a statement the third round will be held in Wellington, New Zealand (January 28-29), followed a week later in Sydney.
