The Eagles’ Rugby Sevens, strengthened by Janatha Steels, will take place tomorrow, May 31, at Havelock Grounds starting at 8:30 a.m. Organized by the Old Antonians’ Rugby Football Club (OARFC) and Elite Ventures, the inter-school old boys’ rugby tournament will feature 13 teams representing top Sri Lankan rugby schools.
