China occupies the crucial fourth spot with 28 points, six ahead of Kenya, while hosts Brazil are level with the Lionesses on 22 points.##NAJAVA_MECA_9632819##Realistically, the Lionesses cannot break into the top three regardless of their performance in São Paulo due to the points gap. However, a narrow window remains open in the battle for fourth place, the final qualification slot.To stand any chance, Kenya must produce a near-perfect campaign. Winning the leg would take them to a maximum of 42 points, but their fate will also depend heavily on China’s performance.If China falters and finishes last, Kenya could leapfrog them. Other scenarios, including second or third-place finishes, would likely come down to tiebreakers such as head-to-head results.School Games: Who will be crowned new rugby 15s king?Despite the odds, the Lionesses still have a fighting chance, but anything less than a dominant showing could see their campaign come to an end.On the men’s side, Shujaa head into the final leg in a much stronger position.Shujaa currently sit third overall with 32 points, four ahead of Uruguay in fourth and eight clear of Canada and Belgium in fifth and sixth respectively. A top-four finish in São Paulo would be enough to keep them firmly on track for qualification to the World Championship.Having impressed in earlier rounds, Shujaa will be keen to maintain their momentum and avoid any slip-ups that could jeopardize their standing.Where to watch Shujaa, Lionesses chase glory in São PauloShujaa and Lionesses fixtures in São PauloLionesses fixturesSaturday, 28 March vs Argentina – 5:28 PMvs South Africa – 8:18 PMvs Spain – 11:05 PMSunday, 29 March vs China – 6:06 PMvs Brazil – 10:02 PMShujaa fixturesSaturday, 28 Marchvs Germany – 4:22 PMvs Belgium – 7:12 PMvs Canada – 10:21 PMSunday, 29 Marchvs USA – 5:44 PMvs Uruguay – 8:34 PM
