Perth is set for a blockbuster weekend as the HSBC SVNS Series rolls into Western Australia, bringing together the world’s top rugby sevens teams for a round that could prove decisive in the race for league supremacy.
With standings tightening after three rounds, both the men’s and women’s competitions promise high-intensity clashes at HBF Park.
Australia’s women return to home soil hoping to defend their Perth title and challenge New Zealand, who currently lead the standings on 58 points. With just two points separating the rivals, the Perth leg presents a golden opportunity for the hosts to reclaim momentum in front of their passionate supporters.
The men’s race is equally compelling. Fiji, fresh off their dramatic win over France in the Singapore final, hold a slender lead over New Zealand and will look to extend that advantage.
Australia, buoyed by an improved performance on the second day in Singapore, aim to deliver a strong showing for fans, friends, and family.

Australian women’s captain Madison Ashby spoke of the motivation that comes with playing at home, while men’s captain Henry Hutchison emphasized the team’s desire to build on their recent form.
