Argentina qualify for Paris 2024 as the HSBC France Sevens brings big games

Argentina qualified for Paris 2024 and Canada reached its first semi-final of the season as Spain and Uruguay still can't decide who will stay as core team for next season.

The Stade Ernest-Wallon enjoyed some great rugby in the second-of-three days at the HSBC France Sevens. Argentina became the third team to secure their ticket for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris and they did so in style, beating Great Britain 55-0 at the end of pool play, also denying the All Blacks Sevens the chance of securing the Series title a week earlier, by qualifying to the semi-finals.

Canada, in preparation to play in next week’s four-team survival of the fittest World Rugby Sevens Series 2024 Play-off, secured an unlikely semi-final spot beating Australia thanks to their strong defence in the final minutes. They will play Argentina.

The second semi-final will see New Zealand, who blanked Ireland 35-0 in their quarter-final, face France, who defeated Great Britain at the death to book their spot in the final four to ensure the stadium will be loud come semi-finals time tomorrow.
