Why wasn't Woodman starting instead of Saili? Hotham and Te Tamaki added something off the bench.
Standard Sevens train of thought these days. You keep a little firepower on the bench for injection at the right moment.
Saili was a bit hot and cold in her games but I could see why they wanted her there at the start with the option to yank her off.
Woodman is also more effective once the initial feeling out period has passed. Blyde attracts more defenders and tires the opposing forwards -

BF7s beat Spain 29 - 0.
AB7s beat USA 19 - 17.7:52pm: BF7s v Canada
11:06pm: AB7s v AustraliaThe BF7s are already through to the Cup QFs, regardless of the result v Canada.
The Australian men earlier lost to the USA (19 - 24) and beat Scotland 28 - 7.
Because both the Aussies and USA are on equal points with one loss and one win, the AB7s better win their last pool game, because I don't know what the tie breaker is if all three teams finish on equal points in their pool. NZ & Oz are best placed in terms of points differential. -

Blyde is a superstar. What an athlete!
Any chance of a Blyde v Carrington arm wrestle ?
Blyde not only has speed she is built!
That may be so. But it's hardly a fair fight. Lisa has the big guns!
