The men's rugby sevens tournament at the 2018 Commonwealth Games was the sixth time in history that the event has taken place since it started in 1998. The venue for the competition was Robina Stadium.
For the first time since 2002 the men's tournament saw some minor alterations to the format. The competition retained its 16 team first round pool stage format however the quarter-final stage was removed so only the teams who finished as pool winners went through to contest for the medals with teams who come runners-up in their pools going through the newly formed lower classification stage and all remaining teams who finished third and fourth respectively were eliminated.[1][2]
Qualification
Malaysia and Sri Lanka both qualified for the tournament via the 2017 Asia Rugby Sevens Series on 15 October 2017, finishing seventh and fourth respectively.[3] On 26 November 2017, Jamaica qualified for the first time beating Guyana 24–28. The tournament being held in Mexico City, Mexico.[4]
