This international rugby sevens tournament sees men's and women's teams from different nations compete in a weekend that marks the first of the IRB World Series season. It attracts around 60,000 spectators over the two days, with a demountable stadium that can hold up to 40,000 spectators and a vibrant atmosphere. It is the English fans who turn out in huge numbers, but the French community also come to support the French team, for whom this tournament has often brought good luck.
