United Arab Emirates. Thursday, 4 December 2014: Today rugby players, fans, families and children all bring their game to the region’s biggest sporting party – the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens. Two of the world’s most iconic Sevens payers, Waisale Serevi and Ben Gollings, have been in the UAE during the buildup and took time out from their busy coaching schedules to get involved in the fancy dress fun.
Old rivals on the pitch, Serevi and Gollings are now partners in the Serevi Rugby set-up, which in partnership with HSBC is aiming to introduce the sport of rugby to thousands of children around the world ahead of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. The two Sevens icons ran a series of HSBC Rugby Festivals powered by Serevi last week with over 250 Emirati children across the UAE.
