South African 7s star Justin Geduld will join the McDonald's Mike Friday Select 7s side for the upcoming McDonald's Coral Coast Fiji 7s, which will be held from the 14th to the 16th of January 2027.
Geduld will join the star-studded invitational outfit for the tournament at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka.
He becomes the second international player announced for the highly anticipated squad, joining recently confirmed French rugby 7s legend Terry Bouhraoua, with many more exciting names set to be unveiled in the coming days.
A celebrated member of South Africa's renowned Blitzboks programme, Geduld brings an extraordinary wealth of international experience, exceptional playmaking ability and the trademark attacking flair that has made South African Rugby 7s one of the most respected forces in the world game.
Known for his vision, creativity, precise passing and ability to create opportunities from seemingly impossible situations, Geduld promises to be a hugely exciting addition to Mike Friday's international combination.
The McDonald's Mike Friday Select 7s side return to Fiji with unfinished business.
Having reached the 2025 Grand Final and finished as runners-up before bowing out at the semi-final stage this year, the international invitational side has twice come agonisingly close to capturing the prestigious Coral Coast title.
Now, with legendary international coach Mike Friday once again assembling an extraordinary collection of Rugby 7s talent, the message is clear: 2027 is about going one step further.
The combination of South Africa's Justin Geduld and France's Terry Bouhraoua already promises an exciting blend of international experience, attacking creativity and world-class Rugby 7s pedigree.
With further international stars expected to be announced over the coming days, rugby supporters across Fiji and around the world can look forward to an increasingly formidable Mike Friday Select 7s lineup.
The 2027 McDonald's Coral Coast Fiji 7s will celebrate its 15th edition, continuing its proud tradition of bringing outstanding international rugby talent together with Fiji's finest players in the heart of the country's rugby-mad Coral Coast.
For local supporters, the opportunity to witness players of the calibre of Geduld and Bouhraoua competing on Fijian soil represents another exciting chapter in the tournament's growing international reputation.
With free entry across all three days, fans will have the opportunity to experience world-class Rugby 7s action firsthand at Lawaqa Park.
