2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[Bovidae]

Conservative and average selections by Laidlaw. Really lacking pace and x-factor out wide.

No Caleb Clarke 😮

5 years later Baker finally gets his Olympic shot.

@bovidae
Looks like an aging side too.

He is a travelling reserve.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae be pretty gutting for him missing AB caps (and the Blues SRTT Win) to sit in the stands most of the olympics, but I guess he knew this was a possibility?

That info has ENS as a Waikato player.

The travelling reserves are listed on the graphics.

Feel sorry for Warbrick especially plus Nicole and Rokolisoa. ENS Dickson and Molia a bit fortunate based on what I have seen. Pleased for Baker to get the chance this time. Caleb Clarke must have been close but he seemed a bit slow on the turn and chase as a defender. We do seem short on express pace in the backs.

He's not been great this year, and wasn't impressive in the recent games. Then again, the mens's team looked crap Vs Fiji in total

Well hidden though. Design over function.

I liked the look of Warbrick, quick and has size. Molia, ENS and Baker are very lucky. You just know the latter will lose a game at some stage.

@bovidae She's had a horror run of injuries. Good on her for not giving up and continuing to fight for her dream.

[Stargazer]

Ah, that's a sad end to his Olympic campaign. Too old to make the next one.

[mikey07]

@stargazer In hindsight it’s too bad Eddie Nikita didn’t know he wasn’t going to make it his sleeve would’ve been awesome in Tokyo.

Those times Gazer: they NZT?

https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/rugby-sevens/olympic-schedule-and-results.htm states times are venue local time.

First match 10am Japan time, second 17:30 according to that.

[Crucial]

For those that keep asking about times etc I can recommend the NZ Team' app for your phone.

When you go to the "Events' tab it not only shows the who and when in NZ time for each day, it continually refreshes with results so you can see at a glance how someone did.

It is actually quite a clean and useful little app.
