Emirates Dubai Rugby 7s 2015

Emirates Dubai Rugby 7s 2015

The vibe this year at the Dubai 7s was as vibrant as ever with lots of fun and cheer – for me the best part was our Fiji team reached the final – Fiji beat England 28-17 in the Cup final of the opening round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series much to the delight of Fiji fans.

Fiji came from 7-0 behind to win the opening round of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, beating England 28-17 in a pulsating final at The Sevens Stadium.

Shereen Shabnam dubai rugby 7s

Tom Bowen had given Simon Amor’s side an early lead but Fiji turned on the style scoring four unanswered tries to give them only their second-ever Dubai title, and first since 2013, despite a late comeback from the 2010 and 2011 Dubai champions.

Ben Ryan tasted victory in Dubai for a fourth time in six years as he saw his side in scintillating form all day, beating New Zealand 19-5 with tries from Viliame Mata, Pio Tuwai and Jasa Veremalua in the semi-finals, and Australia 19-12 in their quarter-final with tries from Isake Kotanibau, captain Osea Kolinisau and Savenaca Rawaca.

The win puts Ben Ryan’s side on top of the series standings with 22 points, ahead of England (19), USA (17) New Zealand (15). South Africa won the Plate, France took the Bowl and the Shield went to Canada.

The USA, who made history on day one with their first-ever win over New Zealand, showed it wasn’t fluke with a second win in as many matches against Sir Gordon Tietjens’s side. Will Holder scored twice, and tries from Folau Niua, Kevin Swiryn and Perry Baker put the icing on the cake for Mike Friday.

HOUGAARD STEALS IT AT THE DEATH IN THE PLATE

South Africa stole the Plate by beating Australia 19-14 in sudden death extra time of the Plate final. Having trailed 14-0 through tries from Sam Myers and Ed Jenkins, the Blitzboks hit back to draw level through two Kwagga Smith tries, the second with the last play of normal time. Francois Hougaard then stole the headlines, darting over the try line in the corner to the delight of captain Kyle Brown and his teammates.

BOUHRAOUA BOWL TRIUMPH

Julien Candelo struck twice as France beat Scotland 24-14 to win the Bowl title on day two of the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens. The victory meant France won all three of their match on the second day of action at 7he Sevens Stadium after earlier victories over Russia and Kenya.

CANADA END DUBAI WITH THE SHIELD

John Moonlight lifted Canada’s first piece of silverware of the season as his side beat Japan 19-17 in the final thanks to two tries from Admir Cejvanovic and one from Harry Jones was enough to hold off the Brave Blossoms.

PUMA RELEASES THE R698 KOSMA PACK

PUMA UAE

For Autumn ‘15, Global Sports Brand PUMA launch the R698 Kosma Pack. To highlight the true potential of the R698 design, the latest Trinomic pack fully emphanises the shoe’s iconic silhouette by blocking every panel in different material executions.

The R698 was born into a great tradition of revolutionary ‘90s PUMA performance footwear. Trinomic technology changed the scene with its use of a hexagonal system in the sole that compressed and rebounded load whilst the Trinomic honeycomb cells cushioned and supported athletes. Thanks to its distinctive design, the iconic shoe is now more often seen on the streets than on running tracks.

Each panel of the R698 in the Kosma Pack is constructed from a different material, from mesh to soft leather all topped off with a crackled premium nubuck to create a perfect autumn shoe.

The new collection is being released in three bold colours representing the mood and golden hues of Fall – lead by the Inca Gold colourway followed by the High Risk Red and Black styles.

Fashion GiANT rebrands

Leave a comment

gant

It’s not every day that iconic, high impact global fashion brands like GANT are made. It’s been almost 7 decades since the brand was launched way back in 1949 so when I received news of their rebranding, I delved further into the story which I am also sharing with you.

In essence, the following statement by GANT CEO Patrik Nilsson says it all. “GANT is entering an exciting phase. Becoming a leading brand doesn’t mean that we necessarily will be the biggest but we want to become the best.”

Renowned over almost seven decades for their shirt making expertise, GANT has decided to wear it’s heart on it’s sleeve. The focus at GANT is now on walking the walk where the brand’s sought after style, superior quality and European sophistication appeals very distinctly through three sub brands to the professional/business traveller (GANT Diamond G), the sporty urbanite seeking an active lifestyle(GANT Originals) and for those looking at what’s trending, at the cutting edge of fashion(GANT Rugger).

GANT is embarking on a change the world journey. And has set its sight firmly on becoming the leading lifestyle brand over the next 5 years. The GANT brand’s redefined vision is being brilliantly articulated through a new brand identity (appended with this) launch combined with multi million dollar media investment across the world (including the GCC region where the brand has been represented by the leading retail conglomerate Liwa Trading over the past several years).

The campaign will reach across print, outdoors, cinemas, digital­ly, in-stores and social media through the fall and into 2016. The brand is also featuring in all the top Fashion Week’s across the world include g the New York Fashion Week this September.

Various technologies and innovations have been crucial in perfecting this shirt for the modern-day hectic lifestyle. All buttons on the GANT Diamond G shirt are carefully sewn on with a unique technolo­gy that ensures the button will not fall off, ensuring this is a shirt that will certainly last for decades.

This new sub-brand is all about desk to dinner pieces, allowing the consumer to continue living a hectic and modern lifestyle without having to stop and think about outfit changes during the day. The idea behind the GANT Diamond G Collection is to provide solutions to those with a modern, sophisticated and global mindset – the tastemakers, leaders, thinkers and doers of today and tomorrow.

A few keywords associated with the GANT Diamond G collection are “Uptown- Downtown, “Desk-to-Dinner” and “Travel.” The collection focuses on versatile and adaptable tailoring, travel- friendly shirts and suiting as well as modern separates. The outwear pieces are city centric – light and packable, trans-seasonal, inspirational and of course, iconic.

So, for all those who relish superior style, uber sophistication and extreme comfort, get ready to take your next GiANT step!
