The quarter finals have been confirmed, for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games women’s rugby sevens event. Both Great Britain and Ireland have booked themselves a place in the knock-out stage, and progress out of Pool B alongside the gold medal favourites Australia.
The pool stages were wrapped up this afternoon, with the final six matches running from 13:00 to 16:00 in the Stade de France.
