Rugby Sevens

Congratulations go to Fiji for winning the Men's Rugby World Cup Sevens title last month and Australia for winning the Women's title.

Both teams were up against New Zealand in the finals.

The Australian women added the Rugby World Cup Sevens win to their recent Commonwealth Games and World Series victories to secure a hattrick of major titles in 2022.

This was the third time (now matching New Zealand on wins) that Fiji's men have lifted the Rugby World Cup Sevens trophy having previously won in both editions hosted in Hong Kong in 1997 and 2005.
