It seems they will use the current series format (1A/2nd best 3rd, 2B/2C, 1C/2A, 1B/best 3rd) but I hope there will be no draw, only a serpentine assignment. If not this is completely flawed as only the first pot seeds are assigned a group, the rest being randomly drawn. This means you can be the 4th seed and still end up with the 1st, finish second in the group and have to face the group C winner (3rd seed) in QF.

The seeding is also to be determined. Using Madrid results could completely shake up the face of the tournament depending on how it goes (same for Challenger teams).

 

Anyway, should it be done now, with South Africa taking the last spot we would have :

The best player of  (Marcos Moneta) suffered a fibula fracture in the first minute of the first match in Hong Kong. 

 

Unless the injury is more serious than speculated (more studies pending) he's in time for Paris. But seeing the team playing relatively poorly without him could mean two rough stages are ahead.

A victorious start for  in the finals but yet another injury of a very important player before the match even started

 

No Moneta and Osadszuk for these finals is quite a handicap. In principle both should be fit for Paris at least.

 with a HUGE 26-19 victory over  yesterday in pool play at the HSBC SVNS Madrid! 
 

First victory over New Zealand in women’s sevens since 2016! We’d lost 27 straight since then.

 

Probably one of the greatest months in Canadian rugby history (minus the men’s sevens team, who have been a downright disaster...) with Canada’s women’s 15s team also defeating New Zealand 22-19 to win the Pacific Fours title.
