    Bones Lost their funding and ability to pay players....back to nine-to-five jobs......

    They need funding?

    What's up with this inexperienced England team? I don't recognise anyone except Bowen.

    Exactly that. bunch of nobodies.

    But man I love the reffing in 7s, hands touch the ground before the ball, penalty

    Watching the way our 7s guys approach the breakdown and the calculated way they make a tackle to put themselves in a position to then immediately compete for the ball makes me somewhat depressed about the ABs 😞

    Nobody watching?

    NZ take lead 12-5 just on the break after being down 5-nil early.

    Question, and it's probably been mentioned ( @Stargazer ?), and I can make a guess as to the reason ...

    ... but why do the chicks go straight to Semi Finals, but the blokes have QFs?

    Insufficient competitive Commonwealth teams in women's comp?

    A numbers game. The quarters would be a bit meaningless as you'd have the third placed pool teams.

    That's kinda the point of my last question. Not enough to make 16 competitive teams?

    I obviously didn't take any interest in the comp set up.

    Only two pools of 4...

    New Zealand Australia
    Canada Fiji
    England Scotland
    Sri Lanka South Africa

    No:

    • Wales
    • Tonga
    • Samoa

    I suspect any teams additional to them would be dubious quality.

    Would be even lighter if it was a GB team. Hopefully the womens game gets going in places like Kenya and Uganda like it did in Fiji.

    The Aussie women’s team are very good, well coached and have good balance. Caslick is a superstar and Levi who is still so young is coming on in leaps and bounds.

    The Irish female team goes OK in the World Series, obviously without any players from Northern Ireland so it seems. Same must be said about the mens situation.
