The AB7s have a difficult draw, with both Fiji and the Argies in the same pool.

The way they're playing they might not be in it 2025!

[Stargazer]

@Machpants The Paris Olympics are in 2024, but yes, for automatic qualification, they have to finish in the top 4 at the end of the 2023 World Series. That's achievable for the women, but for the AB7s that is going to be very difficult.

If they don't finish in the top 4, they can still try to qualify via the regional qualification tournament (I assume that's the Oceania 7s tournament) or a final repechage tournament. Assuming Fiji making the top 4, our chances depend on whether Samoa finishes in the top 4 or will also have to play at the Oceania 7s. Samoa has beaten us a few times now. If the AB7s lose to Samoa at the Oceania 7s, repechage it will be! Quite embarrassing, really!

Jorja Miller had a debut to forget. Hopefully a better second game.

NZ held on to beat GB 19-12.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Missed that game. Apart from Miller, how did the team go with so many players missing?

[Bovidae]

Blyde and Kaka were the best of the starters. Williams made a big impact off the bench. They looked rusty.

Was Williams the one who scored in the corner and gave two big fend offs to the GB girls? That chick was a meast

Yes, no.4. She nearly butchered that try.

Arg beating NZ 19-14 at HT

[Mr Fish]

The men are starting this tournament like they started Hong Kong 😬

[Bovidae]

You can always rely on Baker...

Too many missed tackles by NZ.

Is Fozzie coaching 7s now?

[Stargazer]

Poor Teros7s, being torn to shreds by Fiji in only their 2nd tournament as a core nation.

FT: Fiji 52 - 0 Uruguay

[Stargazer]

Bad start from South Africa as well.

FT: South Africa 5 - 14 Great Britain

[Stargazer]

The Aussies didn't win either. Didn't lose, but they'll be disappointed.

FT: Australia 19 - 19 Australia

Laidlaw worries me. Not producing.
