RU:Title on line, Levi braces for sevens finale comeback

Maddison Levi has remained with Australia's squad in Europe and is gunning to overcome a knee injury and line up in Bordeaux's world rugby sevens series finale.

Australia's stunning win in Spain pushed them two points clear of arch rivals New Zealand, who they upset in the semi-finals.

Victory in France, where competition begins on Friday, would guarantee them their first world championship since 2022.

Try-scoring ace Levi, on Tuesday named for the fifth successive year in a three-person player of the year shortlist, watched her side's stunning Spanish triumph while wearing a knee brace after suffering an injury in the opening game.

Despite being hobbled, she couldn't resist jumping for joy after her side's semi-final and finals victories, while there was more celebrating when the men's side also claimed gold on the same day.
