The HSBC Perth 7s that will kick off next week is set to deliver some mouth-watering match-ups and also kick off an exciting year for rugby sevens.

Australia men’s 7s player Henry Paterson says it is going to be a super tight draw.

Paterson says there are no easy games for anyone on the sevens circuit and if they want to win the competition, they have to beat everyone.

World Rugby Sevens General Manager Sam Pinder says the Perth 7s is set to deliver another festival of world-class sevens, music and entertainment in a festival atmosphere.

Pinder says the opening two rounds of HSBC SVNS 2025 showed it is all to play for on the pitch with four different winners so far and exciting new talent emerging alongside many of the stars of the Olympic Games.

The Perth 7s will be held from next Friday to Monday 27th January.

The Fiji Airways Men’s 7s will take on Uruguay at 3.22pm next Friday in their first pool match, they will then take on Kenya at 7.59pm Friday before playing New Zealand at 4.22pm next Saturday in their final pool match.

The Men’s Cup quarter finals will kick off at 9.27pm next Saturday, the semi finals will be at 7.05pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 11.35pm.

The Fiji Airways Women’s 7s will take on the USA at 4.06pm next Friday in their first pool match, they will then play Canada at 8.21pm Friday before playing Great Britain at 6.19pm next Saturday in their final pool match.

The Women’s cup quarter finals will kick off at 12.02am Sunday, the cup semi finals will start at 7.49pm Sunday and the cup final will kick off at 12.11am Monday.
