[QUOTE="usausa, post: 541955, member: 42578"] There isn't an official release yet on exact teams participating but that is the expectation based on previous IRB releases based on merit qualification. Here is the format for the tournament: 12 teams will be in this pre-qualifier. 2 teams from each of the IRB's 6 regions (Asia, Africa, Europe, Oceania, North America, South America). 12 teams will be split into 3 pools. If the IRB stay true to their word and use this merit based qualification, then we will see: Japan - 2nd in 2012 HSBC Asian 7s Series Final Standings Chinese Taipei - 3rd in 2012 HSBC Asian 7s Series Final Standings. Zimbabwe - 1st in CAR 7s Tunisia - 2nd in CAR 7s Georgia - 4th in FIRA-AER 7s (qualify as best non-core SWS team) Italy - 6th in FIRA-AER 7s (qualify as 2nd best non-core SWS team) Tonga - 3rd in FORU 7s (best non-core SWS team) Cook Islands - 4th in FORU 7s (2nd best finishing non-core SWS sides at tournament) Mexico - 3rd in NACRA 7s (finished as best non SWS side at NACRA tournament) Jamaica - 4th in NACRA 7s (finished as 2nd best non SWS side at NACRA tournament) [I]CONSUR to be determined[/I] *Hong Kong finished 1st in Asian 7s Series, and as a result was granted a spot in the tournament proper as the invited team and spot in London 7s final qualifier tournament [/QUOTE]
