The much-anticipated Seventh Edition of Niu Power Sports Tok Rugby Sevens Tournament will be a must watch event this weekend.

The event is already shaping to be a great rugby fest with 32 men's teams, 12 women and junior teams competing for K85000 cash prize money in total. The event commences tomorrow at Bava.

O'Sullivan, who had already won the frame, stayed composed to sink the pink while the invader was causing a ruckus, and was one ball away from a total clearance of 136 points.

But rather than pot the black himself he handed his cue to the giddy fan, who was dressed in blue jeans and a grey top and carrying an orange handbag.

"I saved her from getting a rugby tackle," O'Sullivan said.

And O'Sullivan moved into the fourth round by beating Chinese player Zhang Yong 4-1 at the Barnsley Metrodome in northern England on Thursday.
