Dubai Rugby 7s




The Dubai Rugby 7s is a 1 weekend Rugby Tourneyment for the 7-person rugby teams from around the world. 7's Rugby is fast and fun to watch. The games last 15 minutes and are unpredictable as an individual performance can turn a game. The event itself is a bit of infamous expat fun, where the beverages flow liberally and costumes of all types abound. It is a fantastic time when you can see people dressed as divers, flintstones, cheatahs, cheerleaders and the like along with flag-waving, singing, chanting supporters from teams that cover 6 continents! Dubai si a fantactic place for this because you really do get contingents of supporters ranging from 1000's of English, Austrailian, and South African supporters that live in Dubai, to Fiji and Samoan islanders to Kenyan drummers to a group of 50 Kiwi kids that can shout a mean Haka (Maori chant/dance) the team usally does before a match, but at 7s they did for theur victory lap.
