Brazil's Women's side is looking to continue their development as they push for a maiden knockout stages appearance in Sydney.

The defending Sudamérica Rugby Women's Sevens champions have become a regular on the circuit over the past couple of years.

They showed their growth in last year's Rugby Sevens World Cup, pushing Ireland all the way in the opening round before finishing 11th after wins over Columbia and Spain.
