The Japan Rugby Football Union (JRFU) have confirmed the dates and venues for the Taiyo Seimei Women’s Sevens Series 2023.
The sevens rugby series started in 2014 and the Union says “the series has emerged as a key pillar in the development and promotion of women’s rugby in Japan.”
The JRFU adds that with the growth of women’s rugby in Japan since the Series started, the Taiyo Seimei Women’s Sevens Series continues to be a “key platform for the game, not only delivering a multi-tournament series that takes place across the country but also providing a major pathway into Japan’s elite sevens and fifteens programs.”
The Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix Rugby Club are the defending champions and the team boasts a number of Japanese and international Rugby Sevens players, as do the Nagato Blue Angels who were runners-up in 2022.
Tokyo Sankyu Phoenix Rugby Club also head to Hong Kong in March to take part in the inaugural Tradition HKFC 10s Women’s tournament.
