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!

@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!

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
And 31 - 28 at FT.
That started well.
Is Fozzie coaching 7s now?

Laidlaw worries me. Not producing.

Defensive errors are letting men down. Same players repeating same errors too. Joe Webber looks sharp though.
Central defenders need to trust their outsides and also make sure ball carrier is grounded. Could be a long tournament without MGB Timmy Curry and Collier. Ware needs to stand up and get more involved.
Not sure how Niall Williams was not penalised at end of ferns game. Coming in from the side and off your feet wins match deciding penalty. I think Abby Brown complained immediately to ref to no avail.
