  • France has +200 odds to win the Men’s Rugby Sevens gold medal behind captain Antoine Dupont.
  • South Africa has puzzling long +1400 odds despite winning the 2023 Rugby World Cup.
  • Olympic rugby betting odds by pool odds favor New Zealand (-275), Argentina (-300), and France (-275).

PARIS – Betting odds for the Men’s Rugby Sevens at the 2024 Paris Olympics favor France with +200 odds. However, there are plenty of other talented teams like Fiji (+550) and South Africa (+1400) with longer Olympic betting odds to claim gold.

Current Men’s Rugby Sevens Gold Medal Odds

  • France +200
  • New Zealand +300
  • Argentina +400
  • Fiji +550
  • Australia +1000
  • Ireland +1000
  • South Africa +1400
  • USA +2800
  • Samoa +10000
  • Kenya +20000
  • Uruguay +20000
  • Japan +50000

France being the favorite stands out as suffered a quarterfinals’ exit to South Africa in the 2023 Rugby World Cup. They do have arguably the best rugby player in the world in Antoine Dupont, but France’s +200 odds are too short to be worth a wager with such strong competition.

Meanwhile, Fiji (+500) and South Africa (+1400) have odds that are way too long considering their talent. Fiji is the back-to-back gold medalist but has +550 odds to take home gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Despite being the No. 1 ranked team according to World Rugby rankings, South Africa has long +1400 odds to win the Olympic gold medal. They just won the Rugby World Cup, defeating teams with shorter odds like France (+200) and New Zealand (+300) on the way.

Pool Winner Odds Favor New Zealand, Argentina, and France

Pool A is set to be a blood bath with New Zealand serving as the favorite to win it at -275 odds. However, they must get through Ireland (+400) and South Africa (+500) first.

Men's Rugby Sevens Pool A Winner Odds

  • New Zealand -275
  • Ireland +400
  • South Africa +500
  • Japan +15000

Japan is the odd man out, but both Ireland and South Africa could win this pool at great prices. South Africa and Ireland are ranked first and second on the Men’s Rugby Sevens world rankings, but Olympic Rugby betting odds convincingly favor New Zealand.

Men's Rugby Sevens Pool B Winner Odds

  • Argentina -300
  • Australia +225
  • Kenya +4000
  • Samoa +4000

Betting odds indicate the winner of Pool B will be either Argentina (-300) or Australia (+225), with Kenya and Samoa sharing long +4000 odds. Argentina finished with a bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and bring an impressive squad to Paris, making them a worthy bet on the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Men's Rugby Sevens Pool C Winner Odds

  • France -275
  • Fiji +225
  • USA +1600
  • Uruguay +10000

Host nation France has -275 odds to win Pool C over the likes of Fiji (+225), USA (+1600), and Uruguay (+10000). Fiji is hard to count out at the Olympics since they’ve won gold medals in back-to-back Games, so their +225 odds are worth a sprinkle to win against France in enemy territory.

  • New Zealand’s men’s rugby team has +225 odds to win the gold medal, tied with Fiji for shortest odds in the field.
  • The women’s team is the -250 betting favorite to win gold, far ahead of any other country.

TOKYO – New Zealand is projected to have a big year in the 2021 Olympics, at least in rugby where both the men’s and women’s teams are the favorites to win the event.

In 2016, the women’s team won silver while the men’s team failed to place on the podium.

Will New Zealand Sweep The Rugby Events?

If the Olympic betting odds are accurate, New Zealand should be able to bring home at least one of the gold medals in the form of the women’s team.

Women’s Rugby 7s Odds

  • New Zealand (W) -250
  • Australia (W) +600
  • Canada (W) +1000
  • USA (W) +1000
  • France (W) +1200
  • Great Britain (W) +1400
  • Russian Olympic Committee (W) +3300
  • Fiji (W) +10000
  • Japan (W) +15000
  • China (W) +25000
  • Kenya (W) +25000
  • Brazil (W) +50000

The odds seem to indicate that not only are the Black Ferns far and away the best team but that there’s no true competitor. Australia, sitting at +600 odds, has the apparent next best chance to win but there is no other country with odds short of +1000.

If the women’s team were to lose it would surely be a significant upset considering they have won 16 of the 22 World Series tournaments.

"New Zealanders are extremely passionate about rugby sevens and we can't wait to watch both the men's and women's teams take to the field in Japan with the fern proudly displayed on their chests," said Kereyn Smith, CEO of the New Zealand Olympic Committee.

The tougher ask could be from the men’s New Zealand team who also have the shortest odds, but this time those odds are shared with Fiji. In Rio, Fiji won the gold medal and will be looking to repeat as champions.

Meanwhile, the men’s team (the All Blacks) will be looking to improve as the team missed the podium in 2016. The All Blacks will return six players from the 2016 Olympic team.

Men’s Rugby 7s Odds

  • Fiji (FJI) +225
  • New Zealand (NZL) +225
  • South Africa (RSA) +300
  • USA (USA) +650
  • Australia (AUS) +1000
  • Great Britain (GBR) +1200
  • Argentina (ARG) +4000
  • Kenya (KEN) +5000
  • Ireland (IRL) +6600
  • Canada (CAN) +10000
  • Japan (JPN) +25000
  • South Korea (KOR) +50000

Those interested in betting on Rugby have a good opportunity to make some money with all countries having odds north of +200, and bettors may be best inclined to use multiple bets on both New Zealand and Fiji to secure a profit.

Whether New Zealand can sweep the rugby events remains to be seen, but being the favorites on both the men’s and women’s side is an accomplishment in itself.
