Bollywood Superstars Preity Zinta and Vivek Oberoi arrived in Sri Lanka a short while ago to attend the Carlton Super 7's tournament today at the Bogambara Grounds in Kandy, organizers said.
The first two versions of the Carlton Super Sevens were a new experience for Sri Lankan Rugby fans as 20 Asian and International teams participated in an intense action packed tournament.
The most notable of these were the Fijian and New Zealand teams as they were first witnessed in Sri Lanka at the Carlton 7’s tournament. The 2010 version of Carlton Rugby adapted a new concept which was used for the first time in the Rugby world. The 2011 version followed a franchise based concept where 10 franchisers were established.
The Carlton Super Sevens 2012 will consist of regional teams consisting of local club players, international players and under 21 players, while its main goal is to enhance the standards of local rugby.
The event would be a great launching pad for up and coming players as well as the senior local players; they would be exposed to the leading sevens players in the world, such as New Zealand Rugby Captain Ritchie McCaw, Tomasi Cama, D.J. Forbes, Tim Mickkleson, Frank Halai Matthew Turner and Dan Norton.
