It has produced some really exciting match-ups and we can expect some very fiery, thrilling matches with everything to play for, especially with Argentina and Ireland battling for the men’s title in tough looking pools.

“This year we've also got the best 12 women’s teams also playing in Singapore, which is super exciting and super important. This is the first time that we've had combined tournaments across the entire SVNS and it's been fantastic. 

“These women athletes who play in the sevens circuit are absolutely phenomenal. Leading into the Olympics, it's very competitive, and obviously, the New Zealand and Australian teams are leading from the top. That's going to be one hell of a battle for the title in Singapore.”
