[edit] Introduction
The objective of this page is to put on record the details of all International Rugby Union Sevens matches for women. These will be listed as tournaments on the whole although there may be the occasional example of one off games (e.g. as a curtain raiser). Attempts will then be made to collate each teams personal record.
All tournaments will be listed chronologically with the earliest first. If two tournaments are run concurrently the apparently more senior will be listed first.
Tournaments will only be included where the majority of teams are International (where some teams may be age grouped, emerging, developmental etc. or scratch teams). Tournaments which include only one International team will not be included in the main list but there will be category briefly noting their attendance.
The summary at the foot of this page attempts to collate results for nations across tournaments. This is naturally flawed due to missing results and as a result does not include a running total of scores. Tournaments that have been included will have Summarised shown in their entry. This will be limited to tournaments that are either complete or near complete.

The tournament also incorporated an Asian Group with Kazakhstan, Hong Kong and Japan also playing in the main competition. It is possible that the first matches for the Asian teams were knockout to see who would proceed into both the Asian Semi Finals and the main cometiton but this is not confirmed. If this is the case China did not play a knockout game but went on to win the Asian sub group and claim a place in the semi finals.

New Zealand 14-7 USA
[edit] Lomai Tournament 2003
(Source Fiji Rugby)
Mainly a club tournament in Fiji, the Fiji team took the opportunity to help some of their players make the transition from touch to contact. The USA also played thus warranting inclusion in the main list.
The Touchdown team seems to have been the basis of the Fiji team and it is possible that the group game was counted as
Fiji 7-0 USA
although more properly this was actually the Fiji touch team playing contact.
The tournament saw USA 3rd and Touchdown 1st.
What leads to confusion is that an exhibition match was played with mostly Touchdown players bolstered by two from the runners up (QVSOB). This appears to be considered the national Fiji team.
Fiji 0-21 USA
The USA are then described as Champions although the last match appears to have had little to do with the tournament.

USA are known to have gone on to this tournament before Hong Kong.

The 10 team format is replaced by 16 teams as it is a World Cup qualifier. 6 teams progress to Dubai. As this is the only European route it seemed likely that the Home Nations will all compete. However Ireland did not attempt to qualify and Scotland (who had pre qualified) appear to have with drawn.
Teams confirmed (pre-qualified) are France, England, Spain, Wales, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Russia, and Portugal.
3 teams qualified from Bosnia (Romania, Finland and Israel), and 3 from Belgium (Germany, Moldova and Andorra). A fourth team from the Belgium tournament (Czech Republic) also qualified in place of Scotland, presumably as they had a better points score than the Bulgaria team that was fourth at Bosnia.

[edit] Other appearances
In 2003, Fiji used the Marist Tournament to select their squad for Hong Kong by splitting their squad into a Red and Blue team who went on to contest the final.
Arabian Gulf played against club and scratch teams from across the world at Dubai 2006. There was also a tournament at the same time featuring Kuwait and Sharjah but these are not included as neither has its own national union.
In 2006 and 2007 what is described as the "CORE OF THE NATIONAL SELECTIONS" of Hungary, Bosnia and Serbia competed at the Krusevac tournament in Serbia against various club sides from across Europe.
Canada appeared at the 2007 Amsterdam sevens.
Dubai Tournament (21st September 2007) included Abu Dhabi, Kuwait and Sharjah. None of these have their own union.
Singapore Bucks (may be a club side or development) and Hong Kong Development will compete at the Bangkok sevens 26th to 28th October 2007.
England are planning to use their National Sevens (Club tournament) as a preparation for the European Sevens.
[edit] Cumulative Records
The table below has been drawn from the above records. Scores are omitted in this table as otherwise a number of games with unknown scores would have had to be ignored for now. Summarised will be placed on the tournament entry above when included. This will be limited to complete or near complete records to reduce the risk of errors.
Non-International VIIs are included where they have taken part in a predominantly full International tournament, and they are italicised to make them stand out. The following list is only a guide and the raw information should be used in the first instance. The table is also inherently flawed as it takes no note of the level of opposition or competition.
There does not appear to be a South Africa team aside from the Emerging team. It is believed that they are (like many) using sevens to develop fifteen aside potential but are one of the only teams to reflect this in the team name.
