What a cracking weekend…! Fancy dress, plenty of beers, sunshine, live music and some top quality rugby. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Everyone I spoke to had an incredible time, and hopefully you did too. Feel free to post any of your stories from the weekend in the comments section, and we look forward to seeing you next year!!
There has been lots going on at Bournemouth Sevens HQ recently, with Red Bull signing up and offering to give free Red Bull to all the players in the competition. They will also be providing a relaxation marquee, complete with PlayStations and huge plasma TVs!

Two big-name teams have thrown their hat into the ring for the inaugural Bournemouth Sevens title - Fiji Barbarians and Saracens.
Fiji has always been associated with dazzling, running rugby and will bring this tradition with them to Bournemouth. The senior side won the IRB World Sevens series in 2005/06, and their Barbarians side will be a tough match for anyone.
Saracens will also be bringing some big players - their squad boasts names such as Richard Haughton (pictured above) and David Seymour, and will no doubt enter a strong team.
