World Rugby Sevens Series

Main article: World Rugby Sevens Series

The 2012 USA Sevens tournament was the first time Brazil had competed in a World Series event since 2002. Brazil had a disappointing tournament, finishing 0-5. Brazil hoped to use the 2012 USA Sevens as a platform to continue to develop and grow sevens. ^[2] Brazil fielded the least experienced team in the tournament, with Daniel Hubert Gregg the only Brazilian player with prior World Series experience. ^[3]

As of the 2016-17 season, Brazil has lost all games in the World Series tournaments.
