Maddison Levi shatters try record at Dubai Sevens

In Australia, Maddison Levi made headlines during the Dubai Sevens, showcasing her incredible talent by scoring a remarkable 15 tries in one tournament. This feat not only contributed to her team's season-opening victory over New Zealand but also reset the record previously held by New Zealand’s Portia Woodman, who scored 14 tries in Atlanta in 2015. Under the new captaincy of Bella Nasser, Australia triumphed 28-24 in the final, marking their fifth consecutive win in Dubai. Levi's performance was instrumental throughout the event, including hat-tricks against China and Canada, further emphasizing her critical role in the team’s success. The tournament also served as a redemptive moment for Australia after their disappointing Olympic campaign in Paris, affirming their status among top contenders in women's rugby. Alongside Levi, her sister Teagan and teammate Faith Nathan also made significant contributions by scoring tries, showcasing the depth of talent within the Australian squad. The remarkable achievements of the women's team contrasted sharply with the men's side, who struggled and finished seventh overall.
