• France (W) +500
• USA (W) +2200
• Canada (W) +2500

Pool Play Shows Easy Paths For New Zealand, Australia

Although Canada was formerly atop of the women’s World Rugby rankings and now stand at third, those rankings are deceiving. Canada’s +900 odds to win Pool A over New Zealand (-1000) support that the Canadians aren’t as good as World Rankings perceive.

Women's Rugby Sevens Pool A Odds

• New Zealand (W) -1000
• Canada (W) +900
• Fiji (W) +1800
• China (W) +2000

Canada did manage to defeat New Zealand on June 1, but that was their only win in their last 30 head-to-head matches since 2017. New Zealand’s 29-1 head-to-head record, which includes 11 wins since 2023, makes them the easy choice out of Pool A.

Women's Rugby Sevens Pool B Odds

• Australia (W) -1400
• Great Britain (W) +1200
• Ireland (W) +1200
• South Africa (W) +10000

Australia’s an even bigger favorite to win Pool B with -1400 Summer Olympics betting odds and are well deserving of them. The Australians are a combined 41-2 against their pool opponents, which includes all-time head-to-head records of 30-1 vs Ireland, 5-1 vs Great Britain, and 6-0 vs South Africa.

Women's Rugby Sevens Pool C Odds

• France (W) -550
• USA (W) +350
• Japan (W) +4000
• Brazil (W) +6600

When it comes to Pool C, the Olympic Rugby betting odds get more interesting with France favored at -550 odds. The United States expects to rival them with +350 odds, as they’ve defeated the French twice in their last three attempts since January.
