In anticipation of the highly anticipated third round of the HSBC SVNS 2024, which is scheduled to take place in Perth on January 26–28, the captains of the top 12 men’s and women’s rugby sevens teams in the world were enjoying the sun on Wednesday in Western Australia.
The SVNS festival experience is making its debut in Perth, and players and spectators can expect three action-packed days of rugby sevens and exciting nights at HBF Park with fireworks both on and off the field.
There will be more action, drama, and risk on the field than ever before because to the updated SVNS tournament structure, and spectators can also anticipate a ton of entertainment outside the arena, including headliners in the music business.
After dominating the first two rounds with wins in Dubai and Cape Town in December, Australia’s ladies will enter the event full of confidence. They are six points ahead of France and New Zealand in the rankings and will play Canada, Great Britain, and South Africa in Pool A to try to win a hat-trick of titles at home.
In Pool C, rivals and recent Series and Olympic champions New Zealand will face the USA, Ireland, and Japan; in Pool B, the women’s tournament will include France, Fiji, Brazil, and Spain.
The men’s SVNS title race is wide open with Argentina the current standings leaders after claiming gold in Cape Town and silver in Dubai, however South Africa, Fiji, New Zealand, Ireland and hosts Australia all sit within six points of each other, with Australia reaching the final last time out in Cape Town.
