Paving the way for our 2024 Rugby 7s United States betting tips, here’s a look at the latest Los Angeles 2024 Sevens odds from the top rugby bookies in USA:
Argentina once again lead the favorites race, and for good reason! They won their third successive SVNS event in Canada days ago, so Los Pumas are heavily expected to paint the Dignity Health Sports Park white and blue. We expected New Zealand to come up with a strong response following their early exit from Perth SVNS. The All Blacks did make it to the final, but they could not overcome the final stumbling block. They are at 4.50 (7/2) to go again. Fiji and France come in third at 6.50 (11/2), while South Africa round off the top-five at 8.50 (15/2).
Every year in March, Rugby 7s grace the lands of the USA with a new series. The USA Sevens has been a regular Sevens event since 2004. The venue for the event has shuffled between Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas, with 10 consecutive series’ being held in Las Vegas from 2010 to 2019.
Here’s how the last five editions of the USA Sevens have panned out:
In the last five editions, USA won two of the series, flattening Argentina in 2018 and Samoa in 2017. South Africa made an amazing comeback, winning by 2 points against Fiji in 2020, and Fiji again lost against the newest threat, New Zealand. New Zealand absolutely annihilated Argentina in the Rugby 7s 2023 series, winning by 16 points. Can New Zealand keep up their win streak?

So far, Argentina are dominating the 2024 Rugby Sevens series with a whopping 78 points. Ireland and Fiji are the nearest teams in the standings, who are 24 points adrift of the top. Current holders New Zealand broke into the top 4 with a runner-up finish in Vancouver. Australia are fifth with 47 points.
South Africa are the only team in the ongoing SVNS season to have won a title other than Argentina, but they currently find themselves in sixth. With Argentina stirring up a storm, will any other team stand a chance? Keep on reading to find out about our 2024 SVNS Los Angeles predictions.

Predicting New Zealand will go all the way was a bold move, considering they just performed terribly in Perth. The Kiwis did return to their best form in Vancouver but fell just short of glory. New Zealand cruised to a 12-0 win in the final before a Matías Osadczuk masterclass dramatically shifted the balance of play. Akuila Rokolisoa put on an MVP-worthy performance in the tournament. The wingman will hope to continue his rampage in Los Angeles and spearhead his team to their first silverware of the season.

Argentina have been grouped with South Africa, Ireland, and Spain in Pool A. Given their current momentum, it seems highly unlikely that the quadruple chasers will fail to win their pool – they have, after all, won 12 matches in a row. We expect they will struggle to keep their hot run going all the way to another title, but you’d have to be a madman to pick against them once again coming top of their pool.
The highly anticipated LAX SVNS 2024 marks the fifth leg of the SVNS series, where all eyes are on Argentina’s attempt to extend their impressive three-tournament winning streak. We believe, however, that New Zealand will be able to clinch the title away this time around.
