This weekend, the HSBC Singapore SVNS tournament will see a new structure as there will be no quarterfinal matches. Instead, the winners from each of the three pools will advance directly to the semifinals. A total of 12 teams will be participating, with only three teams forming each pool.
In the tournament, Fiji’s 7s team enters as the top seed in Pool D, where they will compete against New Zealand and the USA. Meanwhile, Argentina leads Pool A, which includes Great Britain and South Africa. Pool B features France, Ireland, and Kenya, while Australia, Spain, and Uruguay are placed in Pool C.
Fiji is looking to improve on last year’s performance, where they finished ninth in Singapore. The two-day tournament kicks off on April 5th and promises to deliver thrilling matchups as teams battle for supremacy.
This revamped format is designed to enhance the excitement of the tournament, potentially leading to unpredictable outcomes and showcasing the best of rugby talent. Fans can expect an electrifying weekend filled with competition, sportsmanship, and the spirit of rugby sevens.
