Over 900 players and plenty of spectators enjoyed two days of top-flight rugby as Byron Bay hosted its annual Rugby 7s festival.

Teams came from across Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu to compete for their share of the prizemoney.

Brisbane Fiji emerged as the best men’s team while Nation 7s took out the women’s event.
