Get ready, rugby fans, because Mexico's national 7's teams are entering the zone. The men's and women's squads are descending upon the hallowed halls of CONADE (National Commission of Physical Culture and Sports) for an intense weekend retreat. Why the sudden focus? They're prepping for the second stop of the World Rugby Challenger Series 2024 in Montevideo, Uruguay – a tournament with tickets to the Olympics up for grabs.

The teams will be bunkered down at CONADE's Villas Tlalpan facilities until Sunday, March 3rd. Don't picture lazy days by the pool, though. Field training will have them sweating it out in Ciudad Universitaria. This pre-Uruguay campout is all about sharpening both mental toughness and physical prowess.
