The Gaborone Hogs ground will be the battlefield for tomorrow's season-opening of the Rugby 7s tournament. The tournament marks rugby's return after two years of hiatus.

The weekend action is part of the three 7s tournaments scheduled to take place in the coming months. BDF Cheetahs will host the next tournament while the Canon Jaguars will organise the other competition.

The sponsorship covers field preparations, support services, medical standby and medals for each division,” Warburton said.
