  • The second leg of the Cape Town Challenger Series will take place on March 7-8, with the top eight teams after both Cape Town legs advancing to the third leg in Krakow, Poland, in April.
  • In Poland, the best four teams will face the bottom four teams from the 2024-2025 World Rugby Sevens Series, battling for a spot in the 2025-2026 World Series.

Kenya Lionesses secured their first-ever global silverware in rugby sevens after a 17-12 victory over Argentina in the season-opening leg of the World Rugby Challenger Series in Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday.

Coach Dennis Mwanja’s charges, who outclassed arch-rivals South Africa 19-15 in the semi-finals, dominated the final, securing a routine victory over the South Americans.
