<p>I would prefer Kenya to win. Better for the points table for us all going into last 2 tournaments.</p>

<p>Glad you explained that one for us.</p> -

<p>Someone had better wake Stargazer up as Kenya are all over Fiji and lead fifteen nil coming up to half time!</p>
<p>Edit: Make that twenty nil and still not halftime</p>

<p>Don't worry, I didn't switch off the tv &. I watched that game. Incredible win from Kenya. Clearly didn't see that coming.</p> -

<p> </p>
<p>Agree. I would think they won't take all of DJ, Akira and Messam. Given the loyalty of DJ and him looking fit and firing and the destructive nature of Akira's ball running, Messam would be the one to get culled.</p> -

<p>Maybe they're talking about for the current sevens series?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Here's Curry still confident he can make it from a couple of weeks ago.</p>

<p>I hope he makes the team. They certainly miss his experience and leadership at the moment.</p> -
<p>England beats NZ 31-14 in the women's Cup Final. Disappointing, but the NZ team are missing so many experienced players (Kayla McAlister, Huriana Manuel, Kelly Brazier, Honey Hireme, Tayla Nathan-Wong, Gayle Broughton), so hopefully they'll all be fit for the last round in Clermont & especially the Olympics.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Portia Woodman is the player of the tournament.</p> -

He just was getting better and better, our best player last year easily IMO. -

<p>Yeah - the bits and pieces of sevens I've watched over the last couple of years, I'd agree with that.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I hope Dickson is available, as well - he's very useful.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But, then I'll invalidate my opinions with you by outing myself as Gillies Kaka's critic! Though admittedly he was better this week than wherever I last watched him - possibly the week before. :)</p> -

Yeah Dickson is Curry lite! Also very important to the side. Both workhorses with the knack for getting into the right spot on defence and attack and making every touch a positive one. -

<p>Stanaway has a brain implosion and gifts Samoa the winning try.<br><br>
I really can't see a place for Messam if he continues this form, he's well off the pace.<br><br><strong>Williams I think is worth sticking with but isn't showing anything special,</strong> he really needs to get it out of his head that his only weapon is trying to run across and get an inside shoulder for an offload, it's too predictable. He's very good at the breakdown and tackle though.<br><br>
Not sure who said Kaka does loads of stupid stuff but that's far from what I've seen. He's a very steady player, not a super flashy playmaker but does a great job I reckon, Amasio lite.</p>

<p>Careful Bones, everything he does on a sports field of any description is amazing. He's the greatest sportsman who's ever played sports.</p> -

Don't forget Titch's obsession with Collier, who just makes fuck ups at bad times and makes good things look so difficult. He ran 20 metres for a runaway try at one point, almost got caught and made it look like 100m in snow, then I hear he's a winger!<br><br>
To be fair, whoever was disguised as him yesterday was having an outstanding game until he got injured. -

Or ...<br><br>
... everythibg he does is totally overrated. He's only in it for himself and the paycheck. Moneybill Williams...<br><br>
Not much middle ground for the bloke. -
<p>Booboo that's stupid and has no logic, if he was after money he wouldn't be playing rugby in New Zealand. Further more (correct me if I'm wrong) have you ever donated $100,000 in your life?</p>

Sorry sinclair... I'll be kind and suggest you missed the point of my post...<br><br><br>
