If France and Russia don't qualify it will be a major f-up on their end. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they be replaced though ? Good opportunity for Paraguay (who placed 4th at the 2019 SA qualifying tournament) to face stronger teams. I'd like to know how the seeding will be made. WS teams surely first, in which order though ? If we take 2018-2019 then it's Samoa-France-Ireland, if we take 2019-2020 then it's France-Ireland-Samoa. Not much of a difference between n°2 and n°3 but since there is a huge level gap between those three teams and the rest, n°1 is assured to avoid the other two until the final. Same question for the other teams by the way, as there is no such thing as a world ranking in 7s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalamAkhi 277 Posted May 11, 2021 #46 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Speak of the devil ... here are the pools : Women's : Pool A : Pool B : Pool C : 2 spots up for grabs. Russia and France probably n°1 and 2 but having France in pool C is quite strange since the n°3 is usually drawn in this pool. It really was a draw, so full coincidence.The two european teams shouldn't face each other before the final though, being in pool A and C. Had they been drawn in pool B and C, one of them would be eliminated, which is total nonsense. Men's : Pool A : Pool B : It appears China has withdrawn too. Don't know the format, maybe quarter-finals, maybe straight semi-finals. Samoa seeded 1. 5 teams per pool so 2 matchs maximum in the last round. rafalgorka and Benolympique 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 697 Posted May 11, 2021 #47 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Confirmed that it’s the top 2 into a semi final for the men. Seeding looks very favourable to France (when they don’t need it!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not possible for any of these 3 teams to avoid playing the other 2 unless there is some unforeseen upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means Ireland/Samoa in semis and then in final, whereas having one of them in our pool could mean an easier semi-final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodge 697 Posted May 11, 2021 #50 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The favourable bit to France is they don’t have to play any team of note until the semi final by then whoever they’ve faced will likely have had 2 tight games France, effectively, has a bye to the semi final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
