With New Zealand edging closer to Olympic qualification after winning in Atlanta on Sunday, the Kiwis will be keeping a close eye on the draw for the next round of the World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series, which was announced today.
Langford, Victoria in Canada hosts round four of the draw on 18 and 19 of April.
New Zealand, who beat USA 50-12 in the final of the third round in Atlanta, have been drawn in Pool A with England, Fiji and Spain. Simon Middleton’s England will be hoping to improve on their performance in Atlanta, after they were easily beaten by Russia in the quarter finals, 24-0.
Australia are now joint second in the standings with Canada after they were knocked out of the Cup proceedings in Atlanta by a hungry USA team. They’ve been drawn in Pool B along with France, Brazil and China.
Pool C is headlined by the hosts Canada who had an impressive showing in Atlanta, finishing the tournament in third place and winning many new fans with their excellent semi-final display against New Zealand, where a narrow conversion miss saw them lose 24-22. They’ll be joined by an ever-improving USA team, who now lie fifth in the standings, along with Russia and South Africa.
