After a 3-year hiatus, the International Under-17 Rugby 7s Tournament is back. This 10th edition took place on August 11 and 12, 2023. Prestigious nations in the discipline, Fiji and New Caledonia were present alongside Wallis and Futuna. Unfortunately Samoa and Tonga missed out.

The tournament took place at the Kafika stadium in Wallis. During this holiday period, the public was there from the start of hostilities on Friday 11 August. There was sports.
The matches lasted 2 X 7 minutes with a half-time of 2 minutes, which is to say the rhythm of this competition!
Reduced numbers this year in the absence of the delegation of Samoa, who unfortunately missed their plane due to an error on the schedule, but also that of Tonga who declined the invitation at the last moment.
This tournament therefore saw 4 men’s teams compete: Fiji, New Caledonia and 2 from Wallis and Futuna. As well as 4 women’s teams: Fiji, New Caledonia and 2 from Wallis and Futuna.

A rather successful new edition for the CTOS, which plans to hold several events around rugby in the coming weeks. The Rugby World Championship is in less than a month and Wallis and Futuna intends to be part of the promotion of this event even from afar.
