Justin Geduld Joins Mike Friday’s Select Side for Coral Coast Fiji 7s

South African sevens star Justin Geduld is set to bring his international experience to the Coral Coast Fiji 7s, joining Mike Friday’s invitational team for the tournament in January 2027. According to the announcement, Geduld will play for the McDonald’s Mike Friday Select 7s side at Lawaqa Park in Sigatoka from January 14 to 16. He is the second international name revealed for the squad, following French sevens player Terry Bouhraoua. The team’s organisers describe Geduld as a creative playmaker, praising his vision, passing and ability to open up attacking opportunities. He is a celebrated member of South Africa’s Blitzboks programme and is expected to add experience and attacking skill to the invitational lineup. The side has come close to winning the Coral Coast title in recent editions. It reached the 2025 final, finishing runner-up, and was knocked out in the semifinals this year. The organisers say the squad is returning with the aim of going one step further in 2027. More players are expected to be announced in the coming days. The tournament’s 15th edition will bring international players together with local talent, while entry will be free across all three days, according to the report.
