@ARHS It was really good to see some of our rookies getting a run. Some have really put their hand up for selection.
It will be interesting to see who'll be in the Commonwealth Games squad, when the team is named this Wednesday.
Laidlaw just said they'll name a squad of 13, with 2 travelling reserves. That seems the usual number.

Fijiana getting their first win of the tournament. BF7s Pango clearly the weaker team of the two BFs teams, with more rookies and fewer experienced players, but just like the AB7s, a good opportunity to get better.
Te Tamaki just said there were 5 players in the team who had never played international 7s before.
Now, the final game for the trophy. Australia v Black Ferns Mā.

Lots of competition now for sure. Can see the promise in all of them.

World Rugby has given its blessing for England, Scotland and Wales to unite as a British team on the Sevens Series circuit from 2023. The three countries traditionally usually only combined their forces for the Olympic tournaments, but they will now compete as one across the annual sevens calendar from next year.
“The decision, which aligns with their Olympic participation status and qualification pathway, means there will be no team relegated from the men’s HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series 2022, as England, Scotland and Wales are replaced by a GB team, while GB will directly replace England in the women’s series. -

Where does NI fit into that?
Olympics wise are they part of the UK? Whereas they're part of Ireland for rugby.
Or is GB literally just the GB part of the UK?
As far as I know, NI play for GB, as is based on country by default.
Officially, the team is the "Great Britain and Northern Ireland Olympic Team",[1] although athletes from Northern Ireland may opt to compete under the auspices of the Olympic Federation of Ireland instead.

No Condors teams this time but a NZSS team which may mop up performers from the Condors the week before that aren’t already committed elsewhere.
Most teams will be filling their rosters well before that though so hard to work out which is the “premier” side -
