Rugby sevens at the 2017 Pacific Mini Games was held in Port Vila, Vanuatu at the Korman Stadium, from 8 to 9 December 2017.[1] [2] There was no women's tournament for this sport at these games. The competition also doubled as the final Oceania qualifying spot to the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens in San Francisco.[3]
Samoa edged Fiji to win the gold medal.[4] [5] Tonga beat the Solomon Islands for the bronze medal. Since Fiji and Samoa had already qualified for the 2018 Rugby World Cup Sevens, the final World Cup spot went to Tonga.
Twelve teams were initially expected to compete in the competition. Tahiti withdrew at the last minute due to the French Polynesian government's decision to boycott the games.[6] [7]
