National men’s and women’s national rugby sevens teams are set to compete at the Inter Region Sevens tournament in Madrid, Spain for two successive weekends between February 20 and 28.

Shujaa and Lionesses, who have been starved of competitive rugby since the coronavirus pandemic struck last year, will use the event to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics scheduled to start in July.
