Rugby Americas North has postponed the upcoming Super Sevens tournament due to complications from the COVID-19 pandemic. The tournament was due to take place in Mexico City next month involving a record 25 teams across three divisions. Both men’s and women’s teams were to compete.
RAN General Manager Niall Brooks issued a statement in a media release:
“After discussions with RAN’s Medical Committee and the Mexican Rugby Federation, it is with regret that RAN have made the decision to postpone the RAN Super 7s scheduled for February 2022 in Mexico City. We are taking a precautionary measure as the Omicron variant continues to surge around the globe.
The tournament was also to act as a qualifier for the Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town scheduled for June and the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham that start in late July. Brooks says RAN intends to re-schedule the tournament for a date to be determined.
