Wow, that Aussie no. 1 is fast!
Got skinned in defence easily though.
10.1 best on the 100m.

@crucial Yeah, as we have been able to see when Carlin Isles is playing, if there's open space and he can go for a run, he'll easily score because he's fast, but when it comes to other skills, including on defence, he doesn't stand out at all and is sometimes pretty ordinary.
I understand that Aussie no. 1 is new to sevens, so he's still got room (and time) for improvement.

From the link below:
The All Blacks Sevens have added Hawke’s Bay winger Ollie Sapsford and 18-year-old Kitiona Vai, the younger brother of former Blues outside back Melani Nanai, to their roster.
I think he got a few "Vai's" and "Nanai's" confused.

Edit: ENS is related to Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, Melani Nanai and Tim Nanai-Williams though. I just don't know exactly how.

It's funny reading Melani Nanai's bios for his teams (Blues, Worcester) as they make it appear as if he came to NZ for high school but in the Samoa Observer he states that he moved to NZ when he was 6 and then went to American Samoa as a teen for a couple a years when his Dad was studying there before moving back to NZ.
