@stargazer said in Commonwealth Games - Rugby Sevens:
Etene Nanai-Seturo (Auckland)
Interesting. Has he signed with Auckland for the Mitre 10 Cup?
-
@tim No, sorry. The All Blacks website has stopped adding provinces to the AB7s team line-ups the last few tournaments, so I tried adding them. I could trace all the other substitute players to a province they played sevens for, but Nanai-Seturo's was the only one I really had to guess; mabye a wrong guess. Should have mentioned that.

Pool games (in NZT):
Friday, 13 April:
6.53pm: Black Ferns 7s v Kenya
9.33pm: Black Ferns 7s v South AfricaSaturday, 14 April:
12.37pm: All Blacks 7s v Zambia

10.49pm: All Blacks 7s v CanadaAll games will be streamed LIVE online; check https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/commonwealth-games for the link closer to k/o time.
TV1:
There will possibly be a replay of BF7s v Kenya on Friday, 7.30-9.30pm, and of BF7s v South Africa between 9.30-10.30pm (the second game might be live), but not sure.
The game between AB7s and Zambia will be covered between 12pm-1pm; I assume they'll show it live.
The schedule also says that they'll cover the Men's game NZ v Canada between 2pm-3pm, but that must be the women's game. Ha, according to the schedule, they'll cover the same game also between 3pm-4pm. Via a crystal ball?
The game between the AB7s and Kenya will be covered between 4 and 5pm; probably live.
The game between the AB7s and Canada will be covered between 10.30pm and 11.30pm; probably live. -
Joe Webber, who was a member of the 2014 Commonwealth Games silver medal winning team, has withdrawn from the squad due to injury. He has been replaced by Akuila Rokolisoa, who made an impressive debut for the All Blacks Sevens in Hong Kong last weekend. Teddy Stanaway becomes the travelling reserve.Fuck, we're cursed, I swear! Are there any voodoo experts on the Fern? Make it stop, please!
