It appears the seedings will be determined upon an aggregate score of both last season and this "regular" season (so until Singapore). Will it be a random draw ? In this scenario I hope the bracket will be determined thanks to the serpentine method. Current SVNS bracket is determined by your pool, with top seeds taking place in the three pools by order, the other teams being drawn randomly then. I guess they'll use the same system here, which is a bit unfair. 

 

At the moment it would mean :

 

1st pot :  

 

:NZL 273

:ARG 273

:FIJ 232

 

2nd pot :

 

:FRA 225 

:AUS 202

:IRL 200

 

3rd pot :

 

(:RSA 178)

:SAM 159

:USA 142

(:GBR 137)

(:ESP 90)

 

4th pot :

 

:URU 54

(:CAN 52)

:KEN 40

:JPN 18

 

 

Not much to play. The only possible pot change is France overtaking Fiji to claim a top seeding. Should Fiji fail to reach the QF (quite likely at the moment), France would only need to win their QF to overtake them. 

Other possibilities include Canada winning the final OQT, which would upgrade Uruguay to pot 3 (quite paradoxically), or a non-core team winning the OQT, with the same consequence.

Rodrigo Isgró got a 5 match suspension from World Rugby for his red card at the SVNS series grand final.

 

However, if he's called for the union (XV) national team for the June-July international window he'll able to deduct matches from this suspension (yes, international rugby works like that apparently). It's likely that he'll be available to play the olympic tournament from quarterfinals onwards.

Is the knockout bracket fixed or it'll be decided with combined standings like in FQTs?

Group A winner vs. Second-best 3rd-place finisher 

Group C runner-up vs. Group B runner-up 

Group C winner vs. Group A runner-up 

Group B winner vs. Best 3rd-place finisher
