Village Boys youth team is set to make their McDonalds Fiji Coral Coast 7s debut next week.

The Suva-based side consists of youths from Naitasiri, Tailevu, Vanua Levu and Namosi who aspire to make a name in rugby sevens.

The side is in Pool D with Japan Under-18, Star Hospitality and Navala Rugby Youth team.

Head coach Epeli Matata said they’re anticipating a challenging three-day competition.

“It’s a tough pool since we have overseas team coming into the tournament,” he said.

“It will be our first Coral Coast sevens and we would want to finish on a high.”

Village Boys were champions of the Levuka, Nacula, and Malake 7s in the Fiji Bitter Sevens series.
