Fijians and Kiwis Eager to Defend Singapore Titles at HSBC SVNS Singapore

Fijians and Kiwis are preparing to fight to preserve their HSBC SVNS Singapore crowns in the seventh leg of the series, which is Jan 31-Feb 1, 2026, in the National Stadium. Fiji men, who won 21-12 by Kenya in the final, target successive wins with captain Jeremaia Matana, who at 32 points is joint top with South Africa and New Zealand. New Zealand women pursue a hat-trick following 317 Australia humiliation, stretching their 10-match Republic run- losing captain Risi Pouri-Lane names it a unique stop. New 3-tier SVNS format reduces major competitions to eight, with the controversial underdog losses making headlines in 40 matches in two days.

Fiji Men’s Defense Strategy

Fijians leverage Dubai/Cape Town podiums, targeting SVNS Championship last held 2018-19.

New Zealand Women’s Streak

Kiwis aim for Singapore three-peat, thriving in Kallang’s electric atmosphere.

Format Changes Impact

Three-division SVNS boosts competitiveness but reduces matches, drawing fan/talent critiques.
