The UON Central Coast Sevens is Australia’s premier rugby sevens festival outside of the HSBC World Sevens Series. It features some of the strongest international sevens teams in the world. It features national teams and invitational teams. It is also one of the toughest invitational tournaments in the world to win.
This year’s tournament had a number of upsets, featured exciting rugby and excellent commentary. In the end, Australia ignored it’s pool play loss and claimed a 24-21 in against Uluinakau from Fiji in the Cup UON Final. In the women’s Kinesio Cup Final, Aussie Pearls Green beat Aussie Pearls Gold 40-19. This competition should make the Aussie Sevens Olympic Champions even stronger.
The Central Coast Sevens was held at the Wyong Rugby league Club in Kanwal, NSW, Australia, October 21-23, 2016 . Day one, featured a youth single day tournament. Pool play for both the men’s and women’s tournaments was on October 22 and the finals the next day.
The matches were streamed live by BarTV Sports. The commentators, Gareth Wasik and Peter Jolly, were superb and this weekend marriage between the Central Coast Sevens and Bar TV Sports should continue for the forseeable future.
Bar Sports TV commentators even added some quest commentary from Liz Entwhistle from Stars Rugby 7s, which is an invitational international side from the USA.
Craig Morgan, Tournament Director of the Central Coast Sevens, runs an outstanding event and has tremendous support from its sponsors.
