Argentine men win their first ever Hong Kong 7s.
They have put together a really good program. Found the right athletes at the right time.

Women’s comp is similar to when NZ & Fiji dominated the Men’s division back in the day
Probable chance NZ & Australia are going to meet in 95% of the finals
Canada possibly on their day can cause an upset where as the mens it’s pretty much a changing in the guard ,any team can knock anyone off on a given day -

M Levi is a cheat code
Lazy defender tho
Yeah that is what I noticed watching the final highlights - with her speed she could round up almost any break but she just stands there.

How many points is Jorga Miller worth?
Amazing from her.
Forget just the tries.
The defenders seem so worried about what she is might do that she just strolls between them. Will be really interesting to see how she goes in 15s since I believe she wants to try to make the World Cup squad.

Levi 2nd try should be called back a penalty for jumping tacklers, but she is fast.
I'd say there's considerable difference leaping over outstretched arms than leaping over someone's torso.
For the same reason the game isn't yet dumb enough to penalise people doing acrobatics diving into the corner to score.

Miller looked slow in the SF but found another gear in the final. Her strength is her fitness as she just keeps going. Perfect for an openside. I don't see Miller starting in the BFs but she could be useful off the bench.
Her lope isn't quick enough to run them in from distance if a winger chooses to chase her but is plenty quick enough from 30m or so with the odd fend thrown in. She could cause some havoc in 15s later in the game if she ranges a bit wider.
-
There is absolutely no way any sane coach is leaving her on the bench in 15s. She was one of the best players in the FPC when she was 17 or so playing openside before she got injured. Obviously she's only going to have improved 3-4 years on. There are simply very few women's players with that combo of agility/skill/strength. It would be like if Australia left Levi out of their 15s team.
