Remarkable season for AB 7s. They just keep rolling despite the injuries.

Lewis Ormond anonymous in the final. Amanaki Nicole player of the tournament for me.

@Bones Ormond was awesome all throughout the tourney especially in those key pool games against OZ and Boks. Even a guy that is as fit as he is looked spent in the finals.

I think that's one of highs of the year for me already - a guy that used to be sooooo average and just "there" a few years ago, is all of a sudden back and carving up no matter who the opposition.

Everyone was out on their feet by halftime against Fiji, one of the best winning efforts I've seen for this tourney.

@Stargazer could not believe Belgium pushing through and Chile failing at qf. Thought it would be between Chile and Tonga. Germany is the surprise packet.

[Stargazer]

Travelling squad for Toulouse, the BF7s last World Series tournament of the season.

[Crucial]

Didn't realise Blyde is injured again.
No chance of her overhauling Levi for the year on tries scored now.

[Bovidae]

Too much sentimentality in the selections. What's the point of picking Guthrie? Brazier on been on sabbatical all year, as she has had little influence on the success of the team.

[Bovidae]

The AB sevens team just got a whole lot older.
