Kicking goals and saving cash

Rugby is the flavour of the month, and fans can now get excited about the abundance of travel deals spilling out into the market.

The Sydney Sevens Rugby will be held in Sydney for the first time in 2016, from February 6-7, and is set to transform the entire city into a Rugby Sevens extravaganza as part of the HSBC Sevens World Series.

The world’s greatest rugby players from 16 countries will meet to play 42 matches over two adrenalin-filled days, and it will be the last chance for the world’s top ranked teams to battle it out ahead of the sport’s first appearance in the Summer Olympics in Rio.

Appearing in Sydney for the first time, Sydney Sevens will attract visitors from across the country and the globe.

A range of great domestic travel packages are currently available from as low as $269 per person for three nights’ accommodation and event tickets, making a Sydney Sevens weekend visit well within everybody’s budget.
