Rugby Sevens
The 2023/24 World Rugby Sevens Series, also known as SVNS, rolls into Vancouver, Canada for its fourth stop, 23-25 February.
Australia sit atop the women's standings, and are aiming to get back to winning ways after losing in the final at their home event in Perth earlier this month.
Superstar winger Maddison Levi's return can't come quick enough, and in the group phase she will serve the second two matches of a four-match suspension for dangerous tackling, which saw her miss out on the semis and finals in Perth.
Ireland's women ruined the Aussies' homecoming by beating them in the final, and claiming their first-ever series tournament win. Expect them to continue that momentum in Vancouver, with flying winger Amee Leigh Murphy Crowe, who top-scored in Perth with six tries, to be the danger woman once more.
Also keep an eye out for Olympic champions New Zealand, currently second overall and desperate for their first tournament win this season, while Great Britain’s women will hope to continue their good form, having looked like a transformed team in Perth and scooping the bronze medal.
On the men's side, Argentina are the early favourites as they look to make it a hat-trick of titles.
World Player of the year 2023 Rodrigo Isgro was a titan for Los Pumas in Perth, and his ball carrying will certainly play a key part in his team's fortunes in Vancouver.
They stand 14 points clear of a barely-separable chasing pack of Fiji, Australia, South Africa and Ireland - all of whom have been on the podium over the past three rounds.
Paris 2024 Olympic hosts France will also be hopeful of making a mark as they build toward their home Olympics, with fifteen-a-side star Antoine Dupont being integrated into the 7s team ahead of the Vancouver event.
