I think they aren’t as strong as rugby’s rules , we need to get him in a sevens game to keep him from ever wearing yellow jersey .

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Aussie sevens have scored themselves one of the young sprinters. Too lazy to look up his name -it's the guy with the massive thighs. Looking forward to seeing how he goes.

@Crazy-Horse Trey Williams I think aka 'Quad-zilla' at 10.10 PB is quicker than Isles or Baker

So Edward Osei-Nketia, won an aussie 100m final last night qualifying him for a world event later in the year.
But what is probably bigger news, is kiwi girl, Zoe Hobbs won the female 100m final as well (bigger news in that the hype would lead many to believe Edward was gonna win this, while many probably never heard of Zoe)

I assume NZR will be chasing him if he can't go any further with his sprinting. Our 7s team has been lacking a proper speedster.Given the option I'd love him to go the the Olympics for sprinting but not sure if his times are at the highest global level even accounting for his age.

An off-season with the Jamaican programme should fix that.
