So is it another sudden death pool set up in LA?
Aren't they all now? It is also shit.
Sevens is fickle (and lots of competitive teams these days) so losing one pool game and being out of contention sucks. I actually didn't bother watching over the weekend for the first time in many years. The format must have been done by the same guy that gave us super rugby recently.

I don't think so, but I haven't seen the draw, yet.

I looked for the draw but couldn’t find it either. They usually do it at the tournament before don’t they?

Do we assume the girls aren't playing (especially given they've already played in the States in Glendale).
