Byron Sevens stay true to values

If you haven’t been to Byron Bay, you have to go. Escape the hustle of Sydney and Brisbane by hitting this small seaside town on mainland Australia’s easternmost point. I might have been a naïve 18 year old pommy when I was last there, but I returned with memories of mindless dancing on tables, gorgeous beaches, sensational surf, and some laid-back friendly locals to boot.

I also remember a day spent watching some Sevens down at the local Rugby Club. Given the exotic location of it all, I think I’ll always cherish it as one of my favourite tournaments. Just 6 years later and the event is still going great guns. This weekend sees the 20th anniversary of one of Australian Rugby’s best kept secrets – it’s the Byron Sevens.
