On the ball in the UAE
Sports fans looking for a unique trip this winter should fly to Dubai for the annual Duabi Rugby Sevens tournament.
Played out over three days, this year 16 nations and around 160 teams are expected to compete in the 37th tournament, which will take place between November 30th and December 2nd.
Crowds of 70,000 flocked to the purpose-built stadium in the rugby village, in Dubai, last year to watch the tournament and other entertainment, which include the Rugby Rock Concert on the last night of the sporting event.
Attracting visitors from across the Middle East and around the globe, the tournament features various cup titles and competitions, with four grass pitches in almost constant use for the duration of the tournament.
Last year's grand final saw England take-on and beat the Fijians to take the Emirates International Trophy while New Zealand took the Emirates International Plate.
