    That team was super awesome even if they did include a carthorse 😉

    The mere idea these days of a sevens team including Cully, Lomu and Vidiri is dream team stuff.

    He wasn't cart horsed until he moved to Chch, before that he was all flair.

    @canefan that's a pretty unbelievable team when you look back on it. Missing a Masoe/Akira type though but hey can't have everything.

    Dallas Seymour was a Messam type at the time.

    More Forbes than Messam for mine!

    Sure both played 7 for C-M but don't forget Dallas was an All Black!

    Seriously though he was crucial at dealing with the Fijian physicality at the breakdown back then. Something NZ is almost incapable of doing these days.

    I've just sat down in front of this opening ceremony for the past 5 minutes. What an absurdity. Could be a scene out of Zoolander.

    Didn't see it, but it sounds great. Hoping it's the one with the gasoline fight.

    It's like they rounded up every Am-dram and community dance group they could get a bus ticket for an threw them some dress-ups.
    Painfully cringy.

    Watching a gymnast wobble about climbing "human stairs" and then them thinking up a way to make Denise bloody Lewis look silly was something else.

    By the way, the first game was on by the Aussie women, who beat South Africa 38 - 0.

    The best way to stay up-to-date with the sevens tournament is the fixture list on the WR website: https://www.world.rugby/tournaments/fixtures-results

    I guess participation is awesome for the non-rugby nations, despite being absolutely crushed like Sri Lanka at the moment?

    Oops. Deliberate knock down by one of the Canadians. Yellow card.

    First try goes to Woodman.

    Nathan-Wong's kick is awesome!

    Excellent try. Blyde scores.

    Nathan-Wong can't convert this one.
