There are a few surprising names doing well this season on the Sevens circuit, with Spain currently sitting third in the overall rankings. They are yet to win an event but have been consistent performers, making the semi-finals on three occasions.
Notably, both New Zealand and Australia are outside the top five. Argentina, meanwhile, has been brilliant, with three event wins in a row now after a slow start to the season.
Rugby Sevens 2024 Singapore teams will be scattered into four groups in the pool stage. Here they are:
| Pool A | Pool B | Pool C | Pool D |
| South Africa
Great Britain Argentina |
Kenya
Ireland France |
Spain
Uruguay Australia |
New Zealand
United States Fiji |
From every group, the top two teams will go to the quarterfinals. These will be completed as a simple knockout phase over the final day of the event.
Singapore has been a happy hunting ground for New Zealand of late, with the Kiwi side making the last three finals and winning two in a row at the National Stadium. Can they continue this trend? Read out 2025 Singapore 7s predictions to find out.
Sportsbooks in Singapore have released their latest 2025 Singapore Rugby Sevens odds, with Argentina understandably listed as a favorite. Here are the top five lines of betting:
Argentina are the clear favorites across bookmakers in Singapore heading into this tournament, given they’ve now won three in a row. But with the top spot all but locked up, how motivated will they be coming into this weekend?
Fiji are second favorite and also sit second in the SVNS standings overall this season. They have a slim chance of surpassing Argentina at the top, but more importantly, they need some good points here to stay inside a congested top four on the ladder.
France were impressive in Hong Kong and jumped to third-equal favorites in Singapore off the back of their runner-up finish. At the same time, they are one of the most unstable top teams, which likes to interchange positive and negative results.
The Kiwis have had an incredibly underwhelming season, failing to place over the first five events. Count them out at your peril though–they’ve won this event the last two years.
Rounding out the top five favorites, Australia are priced at 8.00 (7/1), having come third in Hong Kong’s last tournament. Moreover, they are priced lower to win Pool C involving Spain, which is underperforming this season.

It may sound crazy, but we fully expect New Zealand to go from zero to hero in this event. They haven’t done anything at all so far this season, with a solitary fourth-place finish in Dubai their best performance.
However, two things give us confidence they’ll turn that around. First, Singapore is where New Zealand thrive. There’s something about the city that Kiwis love, and their track record shows it. This is exactly what the two-time defending champions need.
Second, the All Blacks Sevens will know that under the new format, they are definitely not out of the running for the title this year despite sitting seventh in the standings. Their spot in Los Angeles is assured; all they need to do is string a few wins together, and the trophy is theirs.
What better way to start than by getting some momentum in Singapore? There’s a reason rugby 7s betting sites have them third favorite, despite their shocking form.

Funnily enough, we expect Australia to perform well this weekend as well. The Aussies are also having a weak season, sitting sixth overall. However, they are a proud rugby nation and showed some signs of life in Hong Kong with a third-place finish. Back them to be focused on a run into the grand final and top their pool here as a result.

We expect Australia to top Pool C for very different reasons, but the odds for this outcome are too shy to stop on them. At the same time, there are no doubts that Spain and Australia will fight for the top place, leaving Uruguay at the underdog spot. To receive a pole position in the battle for first place, Spain should demolish Uruguay, just as they did in Vancouver (38-12). The Spanish side didn’t lose their momentum and seats third in the overall standing with eyes put on the second spot, so they should be motivated enough to start the event strong.
