RUGBY WORLD CUPS
In September 2022, all eyes turn to the picturesque city of Cape Town which will host the fourth edition of Rugby World Cup 7s. Here the Blacks Ferns 7s team will defend the trophy they won four years ago in San Francisco as they battle the world’s best players across three days of exciting competition. With fewer players on a full-size pitch, the sport of Rugby Sevens allows players to display their daring spirit, thirst for adventure and supreme levels of skill and speed.
A month later Rugby World Cup 2021, delayed by a year, will be played for the first time in New Zealand and the Black Ferns will draw on their heritage as they look to triumph for an unprecedented sixth time. With fifteen players gracing the field for each team in rugby’s traditional format, you will see greater power and structure on display. Not only will this event showcase the world’s best players but it will also serve as a celebration of how the popularity of rugby has grown amongst the global audience, as they inspire the next generation of players.
