Men's Rugby Sevens WR World Series 2022 - 2023

Two rounds of the pool stages are completed.

 

Things not looking good for South Africa, they need to beat New Zealand in their final game to keep their Olympic hopes alive.

 

Australia had a bit of a bump against Samoa. Their match against France next will be important in order to get a better quarterfinal opponent. It might be important as it looks like Samoa has come to play this tournament.

 

The play-off group looks quite interesting. Kenya is in a good position with two wins, but the group can turn into a 3-way 2-1 record tie. In the reverse, Tonga isn't out yet as we can also see a 3-way 1-2 record tie.

South Africa failed to reach the cup quarterfinals. Oceania will be represented by at least 4 nations at the Olympics. In that battle, Australia faces Fiji while Samoa faces Great Britain. Should be interesting tomorrow.

What is the scenario for Australia to qualify?

Australia qualifies with a semifinal finish or with Samoa not winning the tournament.

I’d imagine this is the most the region will have qualified for any sport?

 was seconds away from pulling it off but nope...

Do you know if they are awarding points as usual or like they do with the women's event (since they are doing a 7th & 11th place matches). If it is the latter then Samoa in third & Australia in eighth would be enough
