Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

[Stargazer]

@Stargazer said in Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments:

This tournament starts on Friday. I've seen several national squads being named, but no All Blacks 7s or Black Ferns 7s Development teams.

[Stargazer]

By the way, you can watch the Oceania Sevens Championship on Sky Sport 2.

Some provincial sevens warm up tournaments start soon. One at Whangamata this weekend.

A reminder this is also on Stan for those in Aus

[Bovidae]

NZ are playing now, so those times must be local.

Here's the schedule with NZ times:

Results of day 1:

[Bovidae]

The results for the women are encouraging as from what I saw from game 1, Aust were closer to a full strength team.

[Stargazer]

Interesting to see Lotu Inisi playing for Tonga. You don't see that many SR players playing sevens after the NPC anymore.

[Bovidae]

And unlike his old man, Jordan Bunce is playing for Niue not Samoa.

[Stargazer]

NZ Development struggling against Australia.

[Bovidae]

Some dumb decisions by experienced players nearly cost the AB7s their game vs Aust. Looking at you Dickson.

[KiwiMurph]

Good AB 7s win over Fiji. Che Clark looked good.

[Duluth]

Samoa leading NZ 19-7 in the final

[KiwiMurph]

Nice comeback by NZ but Samoa look like they will be a real handful this season.
