Pacific Nomads Rugby

Founded by Passion and Vision

Pacific Nomads Rugby was founded in 2023 by Loveni Enari and Paddy Bowen, two rugby enthusiasts who met on the sevens circuit in Las Vegas in 2019. Recognizing a significant opportunity to broaden access to rugby sevens and offer more playing opportunities, Loveni and Paddy embarked on a mission to create a platform that would not only elevate players’ skills but also enrich their lives through the sport.

Our Beginnings

The journey began with a single men’s team competing in the Coral Coast Sevens in Fiji—renowned as one of the most challenging rugby sevens tournaments outside the World Series. This inaugural appearance marked the beginning of a remarkable adventure, showcasing the team’s determination and skill in a highly competitive arena.

Expanding Our Reach

From our initial men’s team, Pacific Nomads Rugby has rapidly expanded to include a diverse range of teams: U16, U18 boys, colts, all abilities, women’s, and men’s squads. This growth has established us as one of the largest solely rugby sevens clubs nationally. Our expansion underscores our commitment to fostering talent across all age groups and genders.

Since our debut, Pacific Nomads Rugby has gained recognition and respect in the global rugby community. Our teams have competed in prestigious tournaments including:
