FT scores:
Fiji 26 - 12 Canada
France 40 - 5 BrazilNext:
Australia v China.
Should be an easy win for the Aussies.I thought China's structures and execution were pretty good against USA. We will see who gets most of the ball.

Good work off the ball by the other player cutting back, too.

Sharni Williams too quick
She doesn't look rapid bit she hit the gap well there.
We're playing too loose. China should have made us pay

Ashby, a new player? Never heard of her.
Me either. Bunch of new players here 🤣

Great try off turnover ball. Good fend too.
China will be aiming for a QF spot. Aussie will be disappointed with conceding 2 tries
I'll agree with TJ, China had the systems just not the intuitive skills. They'll be pouring money, people, and drugs into 7s

Carlin Isles is not DK Metcalf or Tyreek Hill or Derrick Henry.
If it's all they do for 12 months, gee i would love to see it.
Of course i wouldn't, because 7s pays what some of those guys make in
a weekan hour.Fixed.
I reckon you'd need to recruit about 50 guys from those positions, and use your 12 months to get them up to speed.
Some guys aren't going to stand up mentally to the change, and some aren't physically going to enjoy 5-7 minutes of flat out exertion.
Once the passing is taken care of - which I think is the biggest hurdle - I reckon the rest of it is piss-easy for 7s.
I played state level (Iowa) in the US during my college days.
Compared with the American lads I played with - many of whom had been great High School football players who couldn't break in to collegiate level - I was as slow as molasses.
But it didn't stop me breaking the line by sidestepping them with my eyebrows.
