Men’s Olympic Rugby Sevens Betting Tips
South Africa, France, Fiji, and Australia will feature in Saturday’s medal semi-finals at the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
The Blitzboks eliminated New Zealand with a defensive masterclass in the opening quarter-final, while hosts France showcased their best rugby to overcome a stubborn Argentina.
Ireland nearly upset the two-time defending champions Fiji, but ultimately fell short, while Australia comfortably defeated the USA.
In Saturday’s semi-finals, host nation France, led by the dynamic Antoine Dupont, will face South Africa, the lowest-seeded nation still in the tournament.
With the backing of a partisan home crowd, a French victory looks on the cards and a Gold medal clash with Fiji would be no shock.
Fiji won the Gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Games and extended their Olympic winning streak to 16 matches with a hard-fought win over Ireland on Thursday evening.
Despite being 6/1 at the bookmakers before the tournament started, the Flying Fijians appear to have peaked for Paris.
With two matches to go, they look like a solid bet to land yet another Gold medal.
