    @Stargazer I see Aorangi Stokes was named player of the tournament (was also captain)

    Has looked very good in his limited minutes for Northland

    Ruan Du Plooy is a halfback from the Hautapu club. He played a few games for Waikato.

    Koloamatangi is over in Hong Kong as part of the Chiefs partnership.

    Geez, things are starting really well for the AB 7s again. Captain Scott Curry has been ruled out out of the tournament because he had the flu this week.

    DJ Forbes will take over as captain, and Sam Dickson will take his place in the 12-men team.

    It will be interesting to see which of the current eleven core teams (Australia, NZ, Canada, England, USA, France, Russia, Fiji, Spain, Ireland and Brazil) will drop out next year and make way for Japan. With half of the women's series played, a top 9 seems to be forming, with one of the remaining two teams (Spain & Brazil) most likely to drop out.

    The men's qualifier will also be played this weekend. With 6 of the 10 tournaments played, Russia & Japan are the two countries (out of 15 core teams) fighting to keep their core status.

    What was Mikkelson yellow carded for? Didn't see him do anything wrong.

    Mikkelson off with, what looks like, a serious injury.

    What an amazing pass - the one inside to set up that final try.

    Nice early impact on attack by Ravouvou. Not sure he can defend much but nice to have some more attacking mojo out there. Iopu Aso was terrible.

    Good to see NZ win their first game 19 to 7. Didn't look to become such a score at half time. Ravouvou looked promising, Waakaa made a big impact off the bench, too. Not so good to see Mikkelson leaving the field injured; hopefully it's not too bad. He was easily the best player on the field.

    Some of these Fijian players are so huge! No way of stopping them, esp for these Japanese players!

    Didn't see the game, but the AB7s have just smashed Japan 40 to 14.

    Iopu Aso gets carded - he's the new Collier.
