Dubai 7s Schedule & Results – Nov 25-27, 2021

10 women’s teams come together in the Middle East this weekend for the opening tournament of what promises to be a blockbusting year of rugby sevens.

While some teams recently took part in the truncated, two-tournament 2021 series in Canada in September, for others this is a new opportunity to lay down a marker and show they are in good shape to compete for medals when we get to the business end of this busiest of sevens seasons.

Great Britain’s women is the team to beat after they took the Fast Four tournament at in Vancouver and Edmonton.

Besides the Fast Four tournament in Canada, it has been 663 days since the last Women’s Sevens Series action, with New Zealand winning the Sydney Sevens on 2 February, 2020.

New Zealand’s absence from the line-up opens the door for a new winner to be crowned in Dubai. Of the 10 teams competing for silverware, only Australia have only won the Dubai title before.
