HSBC Canada Sevens
The HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series is one of the most dynamic global sporting events on the market, featuring the dynamism of sevens rugby, paired with a spectacle of entertainment and fan engagement that is second to none.
Each Series stop has the 16 teams divided into 4 even pools based on previous rankings. Day 1 of each tournament consists of round-robin play within pools.

It concluded with an emphatic victory by the ‘Flying Fijians’, who brought their country its first ever gold medal.
