Defending champs Monnas will want to win @lantic title at home

October 12 - The strength of the national @lantic Sevens series was underlined when the schoolboys of the @lantic Invitation side beat the Namibia national side 38-0 in the Bafokeng tournament two weeks ago after also facing the Springboks  - and the 15th tournament in this year's @lantic Sevens Series at Hoërskool Monument in Krugersdorp on Friday and Saturday promises to be one of the best of this year’s series. Monnas are the defending @lantic champions and must be one of the favourites at this penultimate tournament of the 2010 series. They will want to give a good account of themselves on their home ground. It will however not be easy.
