Can somebody tell me why Kurt Baker is even in the NZ Sevens Team...?..I just don’t rate the guy..anybody else feel the same..?
He's a bloody good player when he's not trying to be a dick all the time. Unfortunately as he gets older that seems to be more and more rather than less and less. Needs dropping again to get some humble pie.

Men's rankings after one tournament. This list clearly shows that they award different points to those ranked 5th - 8th, but withouth 5th to 8th place play-offs having been played. I really would like to see an explanation of how they've come to this ranking.
It is points differential as the commentators mentioned that the late try by the Fijian women against NZ would help their ranking. I'm not sure if that is based only on the QF match or over the entire tournament.

And at least the men made the final, hopefully the fresh blood will be voided before the Olympics and we won't have an old broken down slow squad this time
Wouldn't count on it, SBW bound to make himself available for selection again at the last minute.

And it's over.
Full time : New Zealand 40 - 0 South Africa.
It was always going to be tough for S Africa, who are the invitational team of the Cape Town Sevens, against the World no. 1, but no doubt they'll enjoy the experience of playing at home.
BFs didn't do anything wrong, but it wasn't really more than a warm-up game.

FT: All Blacks 7s 43 - 7 Wales
The upsets in the men's tournament:
Ireland beat Australia 26 - 21
Kenya beat Samoa 24 - 19
Scotland beat England 26 - 24Not an upset anymore, because Russia's women's team isn't as good anymore as they used to be, but good to see Fijiana beat them 38 - 19. All other games as expected in the women's tournament.
