Sevens: Women’s Rugby Sevens Rio 2016

by

OK so there is no Irish Rugby participation in the Rio Olympics, in either the men’s or women’s competition, but I invested so much time last season watching Ireland Women’s Sevens participation in the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series and, of course, their ultimately unsuccessful, Olympic qualification campaign that I thought I’d add a few words on the Olympics and on some of the players who caught the eye. 

The Competition Details. 

There are twelve teams competing in the Olympic Rugby Sevens competition. They are broken down into three groups of four as follows: 

Group AGroup BGroup CAustraliaFranceBrazilColombiaKenyaCanadaFijiNew ZealandGreat BritainUnited StatesSpainJapan

 

The teams play each other in the Group over two days, the Group stages starting at 15:00 on Saturday 6th August and ending on 17:00 on Sunday 7th with the top eight playing in the Quarter Finals on Sunday . . .
