In the men’s competition, Fiji currently sit at the top of the standings following a victorious outing in Dubai in December, backed up by a third-place finish in Cape Town. They have been drawn in Pool C alongside New Zealand and the newly promoted Kenya and Uruguay.

Following a victory on home soil, South Africa are fourth in the standings but face a devilish pool on the west coast of Australia. The Blitzbokke will take on SVNS league winners Argentina, hosts Australia and the United States in Pool A.

This season’s surprise package Spain will be hoping to keep the pressure on Fiji in Perth, with only four points separating them from the series leaders. After finishing tenth overall last season, Spain have already picked up a silver medal this campaign, losing in the Dubai final. They will have to contend with Olympic champions France, Ireland and Great Britain in Pool B.
