The stage is set for the Uprising Fiji International 7s Festival which will kick off at the TFL Stadium this morning.

URF International technical adviser, Waisale Serevi is urging fans to come out and witness top class rugby.
The Uprising Fiji International 7s men’s competition mens starts at 10am at the TFL Stadium with the first game between the Digicel Fiji Barbarians and Jokhan Realtors Marist.
