Has Te Paea Cook-Savage been in the extended sevens squad before? I had assumed he was injured as he has only appeared in the Fraser Tech team in Waikato club rugby in recent weeks.

[ARHS]

@Bovidae No, not yet. I wondered too

[Stargazer]

Sad to see Kitiona Va'i being stretchered off. I didn't see what happened. What kind of injury? Season over and, therefore, no Commonwealth Games and World Cup kind of injury?

[ARHS]

@Stargazer where is this being shown? Sky? Am isolating with covid and this would be welcome viewing

[Stargazer]

@ARHS It's on Sky Sport 3.

[ARHS]

@Stargazer thanks.

Australian Sevens embracing Oceania Sevens challenge

Whilst the Oceania Championship seemingly means little in terms of a packed Sevens schedule, the Sevens sides believe it looms as a crucial step towards their push towards higher honours.

---

The Tongan team only assembled 5 days ago, so had limited time to prepare.

By the way, if you're looking for the squad lists of the non-NZ teams:

Presumably Fijiana are just just running out the B team for half their games?

"FRU will field two women’s and a men’s team in the tournament which also consists of three teams from New Zealand"

Seems like an expensive exercise for 42 minutes of rugby. But, I s'pose that's what they've got to do...

[Stargazer]

@Kiap The media release from Oceania Rugby (7 June) mentioned a number of 6 men's and 6 women's teams would participate in this event. Either some teams have withdrawn (maybe PNG and the "invitational Oceania side?) or they play a separate set of games. If I had to guess, that media release from Fiji Rugby was already outdated when it was published and they've only sent one women's team.

Results from third set of games:
Australia (m) v Tonga: 42 - 0
All Blacks Sevens v Fiji: 19 - 5
Black Ferns Sevens Pango v Fijiana: 19 - 12
Black Ferns Sevens Mā v Australia: 17 - 12
