In the cup final, it was Fiji who took out their record third Singapore title after they defeated New Zealand by 28–17.[2] Australia narrowly defeated Ireland by 21–19 to finish in third place.[2] The defending tournament champions from 2019, South Africa,[3] finished in equal-seventh place, and also lost their thirty-six match win streak in the pool stage against the United States by 7–12.[4][5] Following South Africa's loss in the pool stage, they lost back-to-back in the knockout stage to Fiji (19–14) and Argentina (22–15), respectively.[6]

Format edit

The sixteen teams were drawn into four pools of four. Each team played the three opponents in their pool once. The top two teams from each pool advanced to the Cup bracket, with the losers of the quarter-finals vying for a fifth place finish. The remaining eight teams that finished between either third or fourth in their pool played off for 9th place, with the losers of the 9th-place quarter-finals competing for 13th place.

Teams edit

The sixteen national teams competing in Singapore were:[1]

 • Fiji returned from their absence since playing at the Dubai II event in November 2021.[1]

 • New Zealand returned to the Sevens Series for the first time since the 2020 Vancouver event on 8 March 2020.[7]

 • Samoa also played their first tournament of the series in Singapore,[1] returning after a similar hiatus to the New Zealand team.
