Aaron, Jamie, and Bernie headed off to Dubai on Sunday to referee in the Dubai 7s Festival. They left Wellington at approximately 1700 on Sunday afternoon. They had a short stopover in Melbourne before the 14-hour flight to Dubai where they said that Emirates were absolutely incredible and all enjoyed our experience with them.
They arrived safe and happy in Dubai at approximately 0630 Monday morning and freshened up in the hotel before heading out to have a brief look around. The tournament starts on Thursday and they will be spending the next couple of days taking part in some activities and preparing for the tournament.
Aaron and Jamie have promised to provide updates and photos so stay tuned. Here are a few photos from their first day.
