2016 World Sevens Series

[ACT Crusader]

Canada were pretty slick I thought. Competed well at the collisions and had some good individual play. <br><br>
Not sure if they can beat the Aussie team, but the conditions could level things out.

[Stargazer]

<p>Australia deserved champions, winning the final 29-0.</p>
<p>It was a messy game, spoilt by the rain; the Aussies clearly handled the conditions better than the women in red.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Ella Green is a great player.</p>

<p>Well done the ladies. Showing the men how its done.</p>

<p>Some experience returns in Forbes and Stowers, but a couple of newbies too.  I'm interested to see how Messam goes.  Probably only about half of this team goes to Rio.</p>

Vancouver 7s is a sell out for it's debut tournament. Awesome.

[KiwiMurph]

<p>NZ squad named for Vegas.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>SBW rested - seems a bit strange. Would much rather Collier was 'rested'.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Interested to see how the  two young Counties boys go.</p>

Shocking! Kenya beat Nz 22-0 and it was by far the worst I've ever seen from Nz 7's. Real lack of effort and lack of skills and got outmuscled. <br><br><br>

<p>NZ will play South Africa in the Cup Quarter Final at 3.15pm NZT.</p>

[booboo]

As i was walking out the door this morning (netball trials for Ms boo) i swear nz v aus was about to start on Fox sport. Was that a replay??? I confuse ...

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Terrible decision by Forbes leads to easy SA try. 7-0. Make that 14 nil.</p>

[JAF]

<p>Baker deserves that card.  Piece of shit.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Baker now rightly carded.</p>

[JAF]

<p>Rio is gonna be interesting.  Blitzbokke have had got their regular backs come back (Branco du Preez, Cecil Afrika, Jason Geduld).  Still dunno where Habana fits into it.</p>

[leytonandamanda]

Clueless! Surely got to be better 7's players in Nz than these<br><br><br>

<p>Good try by NZ</p>

[Siam]

<p>Gonna temper my expectations of 7s this year. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Early days sure but, like Keith Quinn we look old, behind the pace and inaccurate. Talking shit too</p>
