Tickets for Kick On 7s at Woollahra Oval are on sale now.<\/a><\/p>\nStars from the Wallabies, Wallaroos and the Australian Sevens will be at Woollahra Oval to meet with fans and conduct skills clinics from 4pm with the Sevens action to kick-off from 6pm.<\/p>\n
Live DJs will be performing throughout the evening as Australia\u2019s elite Sevens players sharpen their preparation for the HSBC SVNS world series, including the fan-favourite Perth event, and the Los Angeles Olympics by taking on two of the most successful nations in the history of the format.<\/p>\n
Australian Women\u2019s Sevens Head Coach Reg Tayler said:<\/p>\n
\u201cKick On 7s is a terrific initiative and the intimate setting of Woollahra Oval will allow fans a rare opportunity to experience first-hand the speed, skill and physicality of the Australian and New Zealand Sevens teams on their road to the Los Angeles Olympics.<\/p>\n
\u201cBetween us, Australia and the Black Ferns Sevens have won three Olympic gold medals, and many more world titles, and our rivalry takes us to all corners of the globe each year. The opportunity to play at home is always a thrill \u2013 the Perth SVNS is an annual highlight of our calendar \u2013 and to provide more opportunities to compete in front of our own fans is something I know our entire squad will love.\u201d<\/p>\n
Australian Men\u2019s Sevens Head Coach Liam Barry said:<\/p>\n
\u201cA Friday night double-header between our Aussie Men\u2019s Sevens team and the two-time Olympic champions Fiji will no doubt be a wonderful spectacle and a great addition to the Australian Rugby calendar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Fijians are renowned throughout the rugby world for their flamboyancy and physicality and our Australian squad finished last season\u2019s HSBC SVNS series strongly. We love competing against world-class opponents and to have the opportunity to do so in front of our home fans at Woollahra Oval will excite our players and coaches as we build towards the HSBC SVNS Series in Dubai on November 28-29.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Kick on 7s event will be followed by a historic quadruple-header on Saturday, October 17 at Accor Stadium, with all four senior Teams in Gold playing at the same place for the first time in history.<\/p>\n
