The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s team and Argentina are the only teams to make it through to the quarter finals unbeaten.

Fiji will face reigning Olympic and SVNS Champions France in the third quarter-final at 7.23pm while Argentina’s reward is a quarter-final tie with Australia at 7.54pm.

Great Britain will take on an impressive Spain at 6.48pm.

South Africa have won five consecutive Dubai titles and seven of the last eight tournaments there and they remain in with a chance of securing a sixth straight title after a thrilling golden-point victory over Olympic champions France in the last match of an epic first day.

The Blitzboks will face old foes New Zealand to complete a mouth-watering quarter-finals line-up.

It was a positive day for Spanish rugby as both men’s and women’s teams made it to the quarter-finals for the first time since 2019.

The women ended a 22 game losing streak against France while the men beat New Zealand for only the third time in Series history to reach the Dubai quarter-finals for the first time.
