This is a December 2018 update document showing much more data. Essentially, only the final world qualifier has to be scheduled

 The United States,  Fiji and  New Zealand have qualified for the Olympics.

 

 South Africa is in the driver’s seat for the last place from the world series. They can clinch it for sure in London with at least a third place, though that depends on how well  England does in the consolation bracket. Even of South Africa fails to make up any more ground this week-end they would qualify for Tokyo just by making out of the group stage next week.

Good news for Canada (and likely Kenya next week). Tough luck for Europe which has a good chance of only getting a single team in the men's event.

Ya, one of Australia or Samoa has to go through the repechage and either will be very hard to beat.

 

If Canada fails to qualify the whole of Rugby Canada should be fired xD

To be honest, if Canada had any chance at finishing in the top four World Rugby would have had the same rule as they had for the women's tournament. There's no way Mexico/Guyana/Jamaica/T&T would beat us.

This should hopefully cement the largest amount of Canadian teams at the Olympics.

I think nine is our record. We have a good chance to beat it, but I would like to see us qualify in a couple more non-guaranteed sports
