Asian sides miss out on sevens series qualification

5 April, 2019 in Japan, Kazakhstan, News by Asia Rugby

Japan lost to Scotland 24-19 in the semi finals of the HSBC World Rugby Women’s Sevens Series 2019/20 season as they failed in their bid to gain promotion to the series.

Despite two tries from Mateitoga Bogidraumainadave and a fifth try of the tournament for Yoko Suzuki, Scotland proved one step too far for Japan.

Having maintained a 100% record on day one, the Sakura Sevens continued their impressive form with 27-7 win over hosts Hong Kong, before falling short against Scotland.

It was a missed opportunity for an immediate return to the series having been relegated and replaced by China last season.

With a home Olympic Games in Tokyo next year, Japan will be disappointed not to be part of the new-look eight-round women’s series in 2019/20.

The tournament was eventually won by 2016 Olympic Games hosts Brazil, with Kazakhstan losing to them in the quarter-finals 21-5.
