Americas Rugby News Rugby news from across the Americas!
This weekend will see the return of international sevens rugby as Madrid plays host to an Olympic warm-up tournament. It’s the first such competition for many of the countries competing since the postponement of the World Sevens Series nearly a year ago.
Originally slated for six teams in each division, there will be only five entries in the men’s bracket with Americas representatives Argentina and the USA joined by Portugal, Kenya, and hosts Spain. In the women’s bracket the USA is the only team from the Americas, with Poland, Russia, France, Kenya, and Spain the others.
The tournament will take place over two weekends. This weekend’s first leg will be broadcast live on FloRugby in North America with English commentary, with Spanish commentary streams available on the Spain Rugby YouTube channel and also on Twitch.
