An occasion for the ages. What an atmosphere. France secured their first gold of the Paris Games in style. And the crowd loved it, including the President of the Republic. Congratulations France! Congratulations fans! We go again tomorrow with what will be a record women's crowd.

Another record broken! Yesterday saw 66,000 pack into Stade de France, a new attendance record for a stand alone women’s rugby event! Will we beat it today?

Great to welcome President of the Republic of Finland, HE Alexander Stubb and First Lady Suzanne Innes-Stubb to the #Rugby7s yesterday. What a day too. Record attendance for a women’s rugby event - 66,000. Alexander Stubb

Former President of France François Hollande dropped in to watch the Women's #Rugby7s action. Another huge crowd today. It's been some Games for the visibility of rugby around the world.

Reflecting on a remarkable Paris 2024⁩ women’s #Rugby7s, there is so much to be proud of. Record crowds (260,000), amazing rugby, incredible atmosphere. But above all, it’s been about creating the biggest-ever stage for our amazing athletes. Congratulations!

It was a big day for NZ Sevens in Paris yesterday. Great to spend time with Dame Patsy Reddy (Chair of NZR) & Her Excellency The Rt Hon Dame Cindy Kiro (Governor-General of New Zealand ) ahead of the final.

My thoughts are with the family and teammates of Medhi Narjissi at this very difficult time.

World Rugby can confirm that Fiji has been reinstated to the World Rugby Council with immediate effect following the Executive Board’s approval of the Fiji Oversight Committee's recommendation to reinstate the union. This follows the adoption of a new constitution and governance

With exactly a year to go until Women’s Rugby World Cup England 2025 kicks off, we are challenging fans to bring their energy and make history!
