The popular Cape Town Sevens tournament has been cancelled for a second consecutive year “due to ongoing challenges caused by the Covid19 pandemic”. Blitzboks | IOLsport
“In conjunction with World Rugby, we had no other choice than to take this very disappointing but necessary decision, with the health and welfare of players, fans and the wider public as top priority. However, we are hard at work to deliver a world-class Rugby World Cup Sevens in September next year.”
The series will still kick off with the Canada Sevens men’s events alongside women’s fast four tournaments in Vancouver and Edmonton later this month – forming the 2021 Series – while Dubai will now host a pair of men’s and women’s combined events, which will kick off the 2022 Series. A busy and exciting year is already in the planning for 2022, with the World Rugby Sevens Series, which will be announced later this month, followed by the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham on July 29-31, and concluding with the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town on September 9-11.
