I thought the Dragons were pretty good yesterday.

@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.

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

@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?
Central Storm is a St Mary’s Wellington based team.
Lost a few to NZ and NZM this year so found a few lower north island touch and league players to join.
Watherston is the only FPC player they have (BOP).I don’t know much about the Vault team but I do know they have a couple of players from Mt Maunganui so maybe not Welly based.

Ah, I thought Rugby Vault was a Wellington team, because the Vault Rugby FB page give Wellington as their location, but that may not be the base of this specific team.
I find all these non-rep teams very confusing. It also has to do with the format of the whole tournament that I find unclear. Still not sure whether this is meant to be or become a truly global tournament with rep teams from many countries, or just a tournament to give playing opportunities to as many as kids as possible (from many countries). It seems the latter, with so many random teams.

It’s a combination of the two. Countries have the option of a rep side or invitation sides or both. Plus you have the option for anyone to create a side to cater for players. Central Storm for example are one of these. The main NZ sides were heavily based around schools that played Condors and then Auckland fill ins. The coach found sponsors and started a team for the girls he knew that were missing out. Connections filled spaces.
The concept of NZ based Pasifika teams is quite cool as it adds a good cultural element to the festival.
Basically it is a place to go and get noticed and reaches much deeper than Condors does.
