The Commonwealth Games last took place in 2018 where the women’s rugby final saw Olympic champions Australia and world champions New Zealand put on a spectacle as good as any in the history of rugby sevens. They went toe-to-toe with each other until Black Ferns Sevens star Kelly Brazier came up with the sudden-death match winner six minutes into extra-time.
The Black Ferns Sevens have since claimed Olympic gold and will hope to retain their Commonwealth Games title ahead of Australia, Tokyo 2020 bronze medallists Fiji and a host of other challengers.
The women’s competition is an eight-team event with the final spot having been taken by Rugby Africa Sevens winners, South Africa.
Australia, New Zealand and Canada qualified via the HSBC World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series, while Fiji (Oceania), Scotland (Europe) and Sri Lanka (Asia) successfully came through the regional qualifiers.
Hosts England complete the line-up.
