World-Class Rugby, First-Class Entertainment – The Friendly Sevens
The SCC International Rugby Sevens tournament is one of the world's premier rugby tournaments. Featuring top sides from around the world and held on Singapore’s famous Padang, this event in its 62nd year.
7th /8th November 2009 – The Padang
Rugby is known for a lot of things: hard hits, tough players, vicious mauls, and of course, beer. But bouncy castles? Airbrush tattoos? Rock bands? Check, check and check. That is, of course, when the event in question is the Singapore Cricket Club’s annual International Sevens Rugby tournament.
The 62nd annual staging of this premier sporting event will feature clubs competing for the Ablitt Cup. Teams will be arriving from all over the world including South Africa, New Zealand, the US, the UK, Fiji and many Asian countries. The action on the field will definitely be hot and the action on the sidelines promises not to disappoint either.
For three nights, local bands will be striking up the tunes to get fans and athletes in a party mood. Although, with happy hour drink prices all day long, it’s unlikely the crowd will need much cajoling. A variety of food and beverage stalls will satisfy outsized appetites and a children’s play area will let little ones blow off almost as much steam as the athletes will be releasing on the field.
Tickets cost only $25 for the weekend for adults and $10 for children. The sporting action is scheduled to run from dawn until dusk and the party has been known to charge along until midnight or later.
With world-class athletes, fast-paced Sevens rugby and top-notch entertainment, the weekend promises a lively festival-like atmosphere with good sportsmanship, good food and great fun.
