Starts today.
Two days before the opening ceremony.
No team GB in the mens but we are in the women’s next week.

…

It all comes down to this. 12 men’s rugby sevens teams have the opportunity to push for gold at the Paris Olympics which gets underway today. France were crowned the overall SVNS Series champions last month after beating League Winners Argentina. But with that in the past, New Zealand, Ireland, Fiji and Australia are among the other teams who will be desperate to make their mark on the grandest stage of them all.

If they play as they did in the semi, they sure deserve to win gold :1st_place_medal:

@Furryanimal WOW, what a final Chris! Too many penalties but well played all the same. France dominated and deserved to win. My man of the match​:point_right:Dupont​:clap::+1:

Yeah…I was surprised they won so easily but full credit to them.
Now for the women’s tournament which GB did qualify for.
