2021 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2021 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series was a planned series of rugby sevens tournaments for national women's rugby sevens teams that was cancelled due to impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of an official season of the Women's Sevens Series, two invitational "Fast Four" tournaments were played in Canada.
