The Sakura Sevens

Rugby Sevens made its Olympic debut at Rio 2016 and proved to be a highlight of the Games. There were hopes that the Japan women's team, the Sakura Sevens, might reach the podium, but they were swept aside in almost all their matches and finished up in 10th place. We follow the Sakura Sevens as they enter a new stage of development, putting their tough experience in Rio to positive effect and working on all aspects of their game in preparation for the 2020 Olympics on home turf in Tokyo.
