the World Series Sevens will make its return to England and with it two of the best teams in the world, Fiji and New Zealand, will make their first appearance in 2022. The World Rugby London Sevens Series is played in Toulouse, from 21-22 May 2023.
Over 52,000 spectators attend the event across two days . With the return of the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2023 and Rugby World Cup Sevens 2022 and Commonwealth Games qualifiers, there will be plenty of rugby sevens action to look forward to in the coming month.
There are two men’s tournaments on the World Series this month – in Singapore (9-10 April) and Vancouver (16-17 April) – and one on the women’s circuit in Langford, Canada (30 April-1 May).
Forced to cancel the tournament in 2020 due to the pandemic, the Singapore 7s was again missed in 2021 when the World Series was only able to hold two tournaments in Canada. This year’s series has so far taken place in Dubai and Spain, and will now return to Singapore National Stadium where it’s expected thousands of fans will flood the stands.
