Rugby Sevens makes its debut at the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games (GC2018) today with Australia among the favourites in the women’s competition. And Griffith University will have a keen interest in the action.
Bachelor of Education graduate Shannon Parry is co-captain of the Australian team which opens its account in Pool B with a clash against Wales (5.37pm) before taking on England at 8.17pm. Bachelor of Business student Georgie Friedrichs is also part of the squad playing at Robina Stadium over the weekend.
“It’s the first time that rugby sevens will be held at a Commonwealth Games,” Shannon said. “That’s a great leap forward.
“It’s on home soil and I think it’s a great opportunity for us to showcase Australia to the world and what the Australian sevens teams are about and how entertaining our sport it. It’s a great platform and hopefully we can get the result.”
