      World Rugby Guide to Rugby Sevens

      Olympic Rugby Sevens kicks off in Paris on Wednesday. Here’s your full explanation of how it’ll work!

      Next up for Canada will be a rematch with New Zealand, who beat them 33-7 during the pool stage.

      Canada squad members Olivia Apps and Fancy Bermudez have experience of beating New Zealand to a title this year, though, having been part of the 15s side that became World Rugby Pacific Four Series champions in May.

      The Black Ferns Sevens secured their passage to the gold medal match with a 24-12 defeat of USA earlier on day three.

      New Zealand fell behind to an early Alev Kelter try but a brace apiece for Stacey Waaka and Michaela Blyde put the result beyond doubt before Kristi Kirshe scored a late second for USA.

      Blyde’s two tries took her overall Olympic tally to 16, just one behind team-mate and all-time Games top-scorer Portia Woodman-Wickliffe.

      The gold medal match is scheduled to take place at 19:45 local time (GMT+2) on Tuesday. Before that, Australia will take on USA for the bronze medal.

      My name is Solenn Bonnet, and I am a single mother navigating the challenges of raising my two-year-old child while trying to make ends meet. I came across a trading platform that promised astonishing daily profits of 18%. The allure of such a high return on investment was too tempting to resist, and I found myself drawn into cryptocurrency trading. Excited by the prospect of financial freedom, I invested a significant amount of my savings, totaling over 5.7 BTC. However, what started as a hopeful venture quickly turned into a nightmare. The platform was a scam, and I lost everything I had invested. The emotional toll of this loss was immense; I felt devastated and helpless, struggling to provide for my child and keep up with my bills. In my desperate attempt to recover my funds, I sought help from various recovery experts. Unfortunately, I encountered numerous fraudulent individuals who claimed they could help me retrieve my lost money. Each time I reached out, I was met with disappointment and further scams, which only deepened my despair. Last year was one of the most challenging periods of my life, filled with anxiety and uncertainty about my financial future. Feeling overwhelmed and at a loss, I confided in a close friend from church about my situation. She listened compassionately and shared her own experiences with financial difficulties. Understanding my plight, she introduced me to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, a group of skilled hackers known for their expertise in recovering lost funds. Skeptical yet hopeful, I decided to reach out to them as a last resort. Their services came at a higher cost, but my friend generously offered to help me with a partial payment. I was amazed by how quickly they responded and began the recovery process. Their team was professional, efficient, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire ordeal. To my relief, they successfully recovered more than I had lost to those heartless scammers. This was truly transformative, and I felt a sense of relief and gratitude that I hadn’t felt in a long time. I strongly encourage anyone who has faced similar challenges or fallen victim to scams to reach out to Tech Cyber Force Recovery. If you’ve invested in a fraudulent platform like I did, they are highly capable of helping you reclaim your hard-earned money. Don’t lose hope; there is a way to recover what you’ve lost.
