NZ women 51 - 0 over Oceania Baabaa's (Oz B).

@daffy-jaffy had no idea there is only 12 teams!

[Frye]

Mens side losing twice to Fiji yesterday doesn't bode well.

Looking likely for silver or bronze. Depending on when we meet Fiji.

[Bovidae]

WTF, a 3-pool format again!

[ARHS]

Fortunate draw for nz in both. Some ultra strong pools elsewhere

[Bovidae]

One minor surprise for me. Pouri-Lane over Willison.

Conservative and average selections by Laidlaw. Really lacking pace and x-factor out wide.

[Gunner]

No Caleb Clarke 😮

[KiwiMurph]

5 years later Baker finally gets his Olympic shot.

Looks like an aging side too.

@gunner said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):

No Caleb Clarke 😮

He is a travelling reserve.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae be pretty gutting for him missing AB caps (and the Blues SRTT Win) to sit in the stands most of the olympics, but I guess he knew this was a possibility?
