The 12 women’s teams have been allocated to three pools of four teams, according to rankings based upon performances in the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series and other World Rugby-sanctioned tournaments over the past two years.

Rugby World Cup Sevens and World Series champions New Zealand are joined by Russia, Great Britain and Kenya in Pool A. The final pool will see the host nation Japan taking on Olympic champions Australia, USA and China.

The Olympic Rugby 7s competition will be held from the 26th to the 31st of July.
