The first HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series tournament of the year will take place in Hamilton, New Zealand on 25-26 January.
The captains of the 28 participating men’s and women’s teams came together at the iconic Hamilton Gardens on Wednesday to launch this historic event which will see 12 international women’s teams play their first ever world series event in New Zealand.
The popularity that rugby sevens enjoyed at the 2016 Olympics in Rio was unparalleled. It could be argued that no other sport enjoyed the same success during the month-long competition, and that has helped the sport increase the amount of fans that it has been able to attract to the HSBC World Sevens Series.
The sport of rugby sevens is quickly taking over the world, and it only promises to get more popular over the next 12 months. Millions around the world are now tuning in for the HSBC World Sevens Series, which sees the best teams from around the globe travel around the world to compete in weekend-long competitions.
