Oceania 7s photo action galore

Samoa in particular Apia needs a big pat on the back for the past weeks worth of pure entertainment, hospitality, sunshine and beautiful people that were about for the Oceania 7s qualifiers. The old cliche of "rugby was the winner" is so true in this case, but there is one slight addition to that and it goes like this- "woman's rugby was the winner".

Soak up the action with the photos below.
