Sydney Sevens Final day: The 2022/23 World Rugby Sevens Series is headed to Sydney, Australia, on 27-29 January for the latest round of the men’s and women’s rugby 7s action.
Reigning Olympic champions New Zealand go into round four top of the women’s standings in red-hot form, having won in Hamilton last week.
But last year’s World Series champs Australia are right behind them, and will be hopeful of closing that gap in front of their home crowd.
It won’t be easy, but try to keep an eye on lightening-quick Black Ferns winger Michaela Blyde, who scored a hat-trick in last week’s final, while the host’s Charlotte Caslick is always impressive force on attack and defence.
Despite having not won an event this year yet, New Zealand enter the men’s fifth stop of the season in first place thanks to their consistent top-3 finishes.
The USA are just two points behind in second while last week’s shock winners Argentina are now in third, meaning any of those three could find themselves at the top with a good performance in Sydney.
Samoan speedster Vaa Apelu Maliko and Aussie creative genius Dietrich Roache will be good to watch, as the men’s top try scorer and top offloader respectively.
Remember, there is even more to play for this season with the teams ranked 1-4 at the end of the 2022/23 world series automatically qualifying for the Paris 2024 Olympics.
