HSBC SVNS series leaders Argentina lost twice on the opening day of the HSBC Hong Kong 7s, while Los Angeles champions France beat Australia in the final minute to take the lead in a fiercely competitive Pool A.

Los Pumas 7s came into the weekend with the chance to become the men’s SVNS 2024 League Winners if they maintained their 20-point lead, but fell to a 14-10 loss to the USA and were shut out 22-0 at the hands of New Zealand.

Currently bottom of Pool B, Argentina will need to beat Great Britain in their final game to keep their hopes alive.
