Resumption of the world circuit for the French rugby sevens teams. Friday 26 and Saturday 27 November, the Blues and the Blues put their boots on in Dubai. Twelve men’s and ten women’s teams meet in the Middle East this weekend for the inaugural World Series tournament, which will feature nine dates for men and six for women.
After their silver medal at the Tokyo Olympics after their defeat in the final against New Zealand (26-12), the French are ready to leave for the World Series, with a new status.

Especially since this time, the Black Ferns will be absent, which paves the way for a new winner. Of the ten competing teams, only Australia have already won the title in Dubai. The task does not look easy for the Blues, however. They will have their work cut out for them in Pool A, along with Spain, Brazil, the United States and Australia.
Among the boys, the Fijians, double Olympic champions, look like a scarecrow. The Blues, absent in Tokyo, will also face Australia and Canada. They will be able to count on the nugget of the Toulouse Stadium, Nelson Epée, and on the Clermontois Marvin O’Connor.
