People are talking up Manenti as a potential Waratahs coach but he's showing me nothing.
The commentators keep raving on about us being defending gold medalists but that completely ignored the hole we have fallen in

Who would have thought before the Games that Australia would not make the semis and that Fijiana would?
Anyone paying attention would have gone 50-50 on that
-
@nta I didn't find Fijiana so convincing during the Oceania Sevens that I thought they were better than the Aussies; would still have given the Aussies the better chance of a spot in the Top 4. During the Games, Fijiana definitely lifted their game.

In RWC2003 we hosted the best event seen in this country since the Olympics, and probably since. We squandered that opportunity in short order.
The Gold medal in 2016 has a similar feel - other nations have advanced their women's game, and I know on the ground women's participation is up, but we simply haven't capitalised on it.
Players like Green and Caslick are playing league to get a bit of extra money, and because they're wasn't regular competition in 7s sure to rugby's sheet ineptitude here.

They beat us once during that series, and that was enough for me. We weren't firing except for the odd individual break, and Fiji soaked that up.

@nta Do they play in the women's NRL?
Yeah a few of the girls played the NRLW

Just thinking. Women's 7s needs more depth if Not-Russia is a QF.
Having said that am surprised Canada missed out.

The qualification process probability creates a bit of a mess.

They were dysfunctional until they hit a team who didn't defend a line well

7-0 to great poms, but tbh the skills on show by both teams are rather average
Great tap and go

Saying that, yeah great defence, 12-0 from that. But she very very nearly dropped that tap!
-
Brilliant defence and turnover for the second try
