Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

The score remains that way to the end where both teams form a tunnel to applaud their opponents off the field in one of the quaint traditions of rugby union.
For those that can't get enough of a rugby fix next up is a womens encounter between the might of Kerela and the female Chandigarh side. Already a notable achievement in that the first try was managed to be converted, albeit with a hilarious wobbly misskick from right in front! I think I will give it a miss!

And it got more exciting when the commentator's mobile phone rang and he cut the microphone off to answer the call!

@Higgins Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'll let that one pass haha.

Has Te Paea Cook-Savage been in the extended sevens squad before? I had assumed he was injured as he has only appeared in the Fraser Tech team in Waikato club rugby in recent weeks.

[ARHS]

@Bovidae No, not yet. I wondered too

[Stargazer]

Sad to see Kitiona Va'i being stretchered off. I didn't see what happened. What kind of injury? Season over and, therefore, no Commonwealth Games and World Cup kind of injury?

[ARHS]

@Stargazer where is this being shown? Sky? Am isolating with covid and this would be welcome viewing

[Stargazer]

@ARHS It's on Sky Sport 3.

[ARHS]

@Stargazer thanks.

Australian Sevens embracing Oceania Sevens challenge

Whilst the Oceania Championship seemingly means little in terms of a packed Sevens schedule, the Sevens sides believe it looms as a crucial step towards their push towards higher honours.

---

The Tongan team only assembled 5 days ago, so had limited time to prepare.

Presumably Fijiana are just just running out the B team for half their games?

"FRU will field two women’s and a men’s team in the tournament which also consists of three teams from New Zealand"

Seems like an expensive exercise for 42 minutes of rugby. But, I s'pose that's what they've got to do...
