THE first day of the Radradra rugby sevens tournament ignited a flare of interest for the people of Taveuni and more spectators are expected to be part of the tournament tomorrow.

Tournament director Sakiasi Veitogavi said the excitement had just begun as they expect more people over the next two days.

“Today’s games were just an introduction to what is coming up in the next few days and the games will get tough and an opportunity for the people of Taveuni to witness some of Fiji’s finest rugby players compete,” said Veitogavi.

“Most people in Taveuni have only seen these players on national television but now is an opportunity to see them in real action on their home island and I guarantee that more spectators will gather for the next few days at Welagi Village ground.”
