WHILE rugby supporters in Eastern Cape were eagerly awaiting the first SA Sevens tournament to be staged at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium next month, the South African Rugby Union has urged those fans without tickets to book their seats so they don't miss out on this event.
The NMB South Africa Sevens will take place on December 9 and 10.
Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium plans to host the biggest rugby party of the year and with an Eastern Cape themed carnival vibe.
The tournament promises to be 48 hours of non-stop entertainment both on and off the field.
Three former Springbok Sevens players, Mzwandile Stick, Mpho Mbiyozo and Fabian Juries - all hailing from Eastern Cape - will assist in tournament promotions in an effort to fill as many seats as possible on each day of the event in the 45000-seat stadium.
The three recently retired from international Sevens rugby to return to Absa Currie Cup rugby action. Stick and Mbiyozo were part of the first SA team to win the World Series title in 2009, while Juries is one of the leading Sevens internationals of all time.
Fabba, as he is affectionately known to rugby fans, ended his Sevens career as the third highest series points scorer and has scored the most Sevens points for South Africa.
The new home of the SA Sevens is currently the home of the EP Kings who play in the Absa Currie Cup First Division.
Khaya Mayedwa, the Saru PR and community manager, said tickets sales for the tournament were encouraging but he urged Eastern Cape fans not yet in possession of a ticket to move early in order to avoid disappointment.
