Defending Champions of the Gold Coast 7's tournament, South Sea Drifters have opened their campaign this morning on a high note after beating Aussie Legends by 29-0.

However, it was not all good for the second Fijian team when Davetalevu went down to Aussie Thunderbolts 26-7 in their first match.

More pool games will continue this evening with South Sea Drifters still to play Samoa, Taranaki Academy and Gold Coast Breakers.

The elimination rounds will start tomorrow in Brisbane.
