Australia's Sevens teams will hope to generate thousands of dollars in donations to Australia's bushfire relief appeal in an initiative announced for the Sydney 7s.
Rugby.com.au reports that Rugby Australia CEO Raelene Castle has announced that for each try scored by Australia's teams in the 2020 Sydney 7s, $500 would be donated
There is expected to be a number of other fundraising efforts announced in the coming weeks, with Rugby Australia working with Super Rugby franchises to coordinate these efforts.
Wallabies winger Reece Hodge has already joined a number of high-profile athletes in trying to raise money for the bushfire relief effort.
Hodge is running a lucky draw competition for his followers with every $50 donation to the bushfire appeal putting people in with a chance to win a signed 2019 Rugby World Cup jersey and pair of match-worn boots.
