Defending champions will try to regain the tittle, however two-time champions University of Stellenbosch will not make the job easy.

"We want to deliver a quality atmosphere for everyone in attendance,

"This will be the third instalment of Varsity 7s rugby, and we urge fans to come out and support their teams by dressing up, and enjoying a weekend of action-packed running rugby, and a great party atmosphere." Bosman stated.
