“It is a fantastic achievement to sell-out finals day on our very first time ever delivering the HSBC SVNS in Perth," said World Rugby Chief of Events Mick Wright.

"It is a tribute to the players, teams, performers and all the many stakeholders involved in putting on such a spectacular show which is thrilling fans both on and off the pitch. Particular thanks and gratitude goes to Western Australia Premier Roger Cook, Tourism Western Australia, Venues West, Rugby Australia and our title partner HSBC. 

“As word of mouth spreads on the unique festival vibes experienced at SVNS events we will be back even bigger and better next year and fans around the world who are interested in attending the remaining HSBC SVNS 2024 events in Vancouver, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Singapore and Madrid are encouraged to snap up their tickets at svns.com and not miss out on the experience of a lifetime.”

Australia's Women's side ensured they will be playing for medals on Sunday after a thrilling win over New Zealand.

They will be followed by the Men's side, who will play Fiji after accounting for the USA.

"This is a great result for Western Australia, and further proof that Perth is a major events capital," WA Premier Roger Cook believes.

“There has always been a huge rugby following in WA and the crowd response to this event has obviously been another welcome boost to our tourism and hospitality businesses.

“It is important we continue to diversify our economy and what we have witnessed with the SVNS is that if you think big and deliver, then crowds will respond in an overwhelmingly positive way.”

"On behalf of HSBC, we are delighted to see the inaugural HSBC SVNS Perth sell out on Sunday," CEO of HSBC Australia Tony Shaw added.

“The overwhelming support from our fans and customers has turned SVNS into a must-see event. We are looking forward to an electrifying Sunday on the field as we all come together to celebrate the festival atmosphere and great entertainment. Thank you to the incredible Western Australian fans for making this the biggest party in town.”
