Brazil went to the field of Toulouse, the capital of French rugby, for the farewell stage of the 2022-23 season of the Women’s World Rugby Sevens Series. Saturday (13) was a day of development for the Yaras, despite defeats against Ireland and Canada.
Against the Irish, Gabriela Lima scored Brazil’s first try of the tournament, but the European team ended up winning 36-7, scoring six tries.
Then, in the semi-finals for 9th place, the Yaras faced Canada and flirted with victory. Captain Marina “Tchoba” and Gabi Lima ran for the first tries of the game, opening a 12-0 lead against Brazil. Bermudez responded with a try for Canada before the break, but Milena scored a fine try on the restart, breaking through the Canadian defense with the passing right. However, Canada prevailed down the stretch with Poulin, Logan and Apps. 24 to 17.
The result puts Brazil in contention for 11th place on Sunday, with the Yaras taking on Poland.

The Argentina team secured a place in the men’s sevens tournament of the 2024 Olympics on Saturday after beating Great Britain 50-0 to secure a place in the knockout stage.
Thus, a vacancy opens for South America and Brazil have a chance to try to qualify in the men’s clash, but Uruguay and Chile will also fight for the vacancy.
