The Canadian women's rugby sevens team finished the HSBC Perth SVNS on a winning note Sunday in Australia, defeating Fiji 26-5 to place seventh.

Ireland lifted the trophy for the first time on the rugby sevens world stage, downing series leader Australia 19-14 in the women's final at a sold-out HBF Pack.

Argentina won the men's title for the second straight event, beating Australia 31-5. The Pumas opened the 2024 season by finishing runner-up in Dubai before winning in Cape Town and have reached the final in eight of the last nine events (with a 4-4-0 record in those championship games).

Britain took the women's bronze medal with a 24-10 win over the U.S., while Ireland's men claimed bronze with a 24-7 decision over double Olympic champions Fiji.
