AUSTRALIANS will get to see their Olympic champion women’s team in competition for the first time next year with Sydney Sevens all-but confirmed as a new leg of the women’s world tour.
World Rugby boss Brett Gosper said a combined men’s and women’s tournament was almost locked in for Sydney in February, while also slapping down former Hockeyroos coach Ric Charlesworth for calling Australia’s women’s sevens gold medal as “soft”.
“There were about 90 nations who were part of the qualification process, so I don’t know what he is talking about with soft medals,” Gosper told News Corp.
