Melrose Sevens is an annual rugby sevens event held by Melrose Rugby Club, at The Greenyards in Melrose, Scotland.

Melrose Sevens is the oldest rugby sevens competition in the world, having been launched in 1883 by former Melrose player Ned Haig.

Iniera hung up his boots after a successful international and local rugby career spanning two decades on January 24 this year.

The 35-year-old is the second highest try scorer in the World Rugby Sevens Series with 279 tries.

Among milestones achieved, Injera was declared player of the final at the 2016 Singapore Sevens where Kenya stunned Fiji 30-7 to lift the trophy, their first ever in their Series.

He was also decorated with the Order of the Golden Warrior (OGW) alongside his brother Humphrey Kayange in 2010
