Cody Vai is another one.

His brother is already there.

The ref was too pedantic in that game. I noted both squads had some additions.

Due to injuries? I think Tali Ioasa is one of the players who unfortunately got injured early in the tournament, yesterday (I can't remember seeing him since he left the field - in game 1 or 2 - while grabbing his hammy). Probably a few more.

Is it going to be an all-Aussie girls final or do they play each other in the SF?

Oz v two blues Sydney is one semi.

[Steven Harris]

Wow what an upset ..!,a massive one at that

[Stargazer]

Asian Dragons just knocked Australia Boys out of the Cup.

[Stargazer]

So Boys Cup SFs:
NZL v NZ Cavaliers
Asian Dragons v Samoa

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer never saw that one coming especially after watching both sides yesterday
Auckland weather behaving

I thought the Dragons were pretty good yesterday.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer When they showed the team lists Brodie Robinson was listed first. He was the starting left winger for Hamilton BHS all year so I don't know why he wasn't in Thailand. Andrew Smith wasn't dressed to play either, so must be another injured. I think King Maxwell ended up in another team.

Tai Cribb was in the Māori squad but was listed as injured when the squads were announced.

[Bovidae]

The Aussie boys aren't of the same quality as their girls team.

[Steven Harris]

@Crucial they were solid but never struck me as a team that could go deep but thats the nature of 7s you can look unbeatable on one day and then crash on day 2

[Bovidae]

Hare Makiri and Dwayne Sweeney are the assistant coaches for the Dragons. They'll be a good chance to beat Samoa.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer how crucial was the missed forward pass leading up to the first YC ..?
On saying that full credit to the Japanese girls

Also

1.02pm: Central Storm v Renegades

[Stargazer]

@Crucial Central Storm, is that a (mostly) Auckland team? Just like Rugby Vault is a Welly team?

And who are the Renegades, where are they from?

[Stargazer]

Some of the Maori Girls are wearing shirts with different numbers on their back than in their "home" jerseys. Commentator doesn't seem to notice. (I assume the commentators weren't informed of the changes.)
