High times in the Pacific islands.

Fiji’s rugby sevens stars were back on top of the world once again this weekend with victory over New Zealand in the final of the famous Hong Kong Sevens tournament, but they weren’t the only ones reaching for the summit.

World Rugby has tweeted out a picture demonstrating the lengths to which fans on the island will go to watch the stars of their national obsession, as a large group hiked up to the top of a mountain to make sure they could get television reception.
