Marist Rugby Club President Lawrence Tikaram says only two grounds will be used for this year’s 47th Fiji Bitter Marist 7s tournament.

Lawrence says it gives the grassroots teams a chance to play at the HFC Stadium.

He adds 70% of the teams in the Marist 7s are grassroots teams.

The Marist 7s will be held from the 16th to the 18th of this month.
