@Crucial said in 2016-2017 provincial & club sevens:
How did those pools get set for the men's comp? Drawn from a hat? They seem very lopsided.
Without knowing too much about the squads this year I would imagine the best three teams are all in the same pool going by previous years.I found this explanation of the seeding on the Wairarapa Bush website; I assume it's the same for all regional tournaments, not just the central zone tournament.
The seedings have been determined as follows; * Finishing position at the 2016 National Sevens; * Any teams that did not participate at the 2016 National Sevens will be ranked based on their finishing position at the previous year’s Central Region Sevens; and * Any teams that did not participate at the previous year’s Central Region Sevens will be ranked based on finishing position in the most recent relevant domestic 15s competition (with the Premier Competition ranked above the Heartland Championship). * In 2017 only the two additional Women’s teams will be allocated seedings as follows: Central 4 (11th seed) and Northern 5 (12th seed).

East Coast mens have withdrawn - new Central draw is

@Stockcar86 Yep, had edited my earlier post to include the current pools and draw.

@Bovidae said in 2016-2017 provincial & club sevens:
@Crucial Note that the teams from pool 1 only play the teams from pool 2 so the seedings are an artificial way for the best teams to avoid playing eachother until the final.
That explains it. Thanks.
What an odd way? -

I hope the games are fun to watch at the Northern Regionals, because these pool games are so predictable.
Both in the men's and women's tournament, the Pool 1 teams have beaten the Pool 2 teams. Hope the next round brings some surprises! Or that those pool 1 teams shred each other to pieces during the final stages. May not happen, considering they are qualified for the Nationals anyway.

I watched the SF and finals replays last night without knowing any results apart from the mens final.
I thought Guildford looked good for Waikato so it will be interesting to see how he goes at the nationals. Northland must have been the surprise team to make the SFs ahead of CM and then get to the final. Auckland were poor in their SF vs Northland.
-
@Bovidae we've had some decent results in 7s the past few years, although like our 15s, very inconsistent, I mean we got dealt to in pool play by Auckland and then beat them in the semi...that said, I think we have had the wood on CM most years though??
What is interesting, is there are a good portion of our guys are those form our Mitre 10 Cup squad, whereas most of the others don't appear to have that many involved?
-
@taniwharugby You're right. Most squads seemed to include club and school players, who didn't play Mitre 10 Cup. For Mitre 10 Cup teams with a lot of All Blacks, Maori All Blacks, All Black 7s or Super Rugby players that's unavoidable. I wonder whether any of the All Blacks 7s players will be released to play the Nationals? The Nationals are 2 weeks before the Wellington 7s.
-
@Stargazer other thing is, most of our guys are the ones involved in our team last year too, so looks like a vehicle for keeping these guys involved and fit as much as anything.
-
As I hoped, All Blacks 7s players have been released to play at the Nationals (assuming not only Waikato get their AB7s back):
Success at the tournament, played at Memorial Park in Cambridge on Sunday, means the Mooloos qualified for nationals as the region's top seed, with co-coach Roger Randle revealing they will have New Zealand sevens stars - Tim Mikkelson, DJ Collier and Isaac Te Tamaki - available for the tournament in Rotorua on January 14-15. Former All Black Zac Guildford and Waikato Mitre 10 Cup winger Sevu Reece impressed - the latter finishing as the tournament's top scorer (7) - but co-coach Roger Randle praised the efforts of each member of his 12-man squad, who went unbeaten throughout the competition
