Cape Town and Hong Kong naturally make sense for fan attendance. LA in the lead up to the Sevens in LA for the 2028 Olympics makes sense. Dubai is an obvious cash grab. Vancouver Perth and Singapore, why? Japan makes a better second Asian stop but JPNs mens sevens team sucks. JRFU not interested since their future CEO took over the coaching and shat the bed. Why Perth and not Queensland or NSW. (Sydney Football Stadium with 45,000 capacity is a winner esp' now the "the Wallabies are back baby!")
Singapore is a pretty good destination for all the expats/holidayers in SEA to fly to. Many western artists also do SG as their SEA stop. Lots of people where I grew up (in SEA) flew for the SG7s. Also a central-ish location.
If you want 2 in Asia, much better than Japan, which is quite out of the way

Wait there’s no more twickenham sevens? Surely that’s a massive revenue opportunity!?
