Tough pool for the men

NZ teams

Experience returns as New Zealand name teams for Perth SVNS

The third leg of the SVNS circuit offers New Zealand teams a chance to put the disappointing results of the opening two rounds behind them.

There also appears to be a NZ Men's Development team playing in Fiji (from the Waikato rugby FB page). Looking at the photo posted there are a number of familiar faces from recent NZ Boys Condor sevens teams. I haven't seen a full team list.

Schedule for the NZ teams:

So five of the 2023 NZ U18 sevens squad in that NZ Development squad, along with some others in the 20 yr old range.

Laidlaw > Cama?

Probably too simplistic but the team is really struggling.

[Duluth]

Getting smashed now 26-5

[Bovidae]

Does Leo know what a tackle is? He was badly exposed twice out wide.

No real pace again.

[Duluth]

Other pool games are against Samoa & Fiji

Have NZ ever lost all their pool matches?

[Bovidae]

The NZ men are still alive as they beat Samoa 17-12. All on for the Fiji game.

[Duluth]

Was the performance against Samoa better? More accurate passing etc?

[Bovidae]

@Duluth

I never saw the game but NZ won with an ET try to Ware, so they could have just as easily lost.

Regan Ware the hero as All Blacks Sevens survive golden point thriller

With everything on the All Blacks Sevens at the Perth SVNS on Friday night, veteran Regan Ware was the hero that New Zealand needed.

@Duluth music being played during the game creeping into 7s now as it has in the NBA.

[Bovidae]

The BF7s beat USA 24-7 to top their group.

There is the possibility of a QF against Aust.
