“In terms of when teams will start arriving, we’ll start to see the teams trickle into the country from the weekend. Saturday, Sunday and Monday will be the big arrival days. We know the Aussie will be here early next week, New Zealand same. Those wanting to rub shoulders, or wanting to see some of their favorite players, that’s when the opportunity will present itself.”

There will be six overseas-based teams in the three-day competition which will be held at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka.

The tournament starts on January 16, and you can catch all the action live and exclusive on FBC Sports.
