<p>It's been fun watching everyone the last couple of days professing they have fuck all interest in 7's and/or dislike it and/or have watched 2-3 games and now they're experts. We need faster players! But not just faster, ones that play 15's all the time!</p>

<p>I really think they would have won if they scored more points than each of their opponents.</p> -

Maybe you guys just need an English coach? Two English coaches in the Olympic final...</p></blockquote>

<p>Makes sense. No one else is synonymous with running and passing into space.</p> -

I was teasing, obviously, but only partly. Three of the better sevens coaches currently in action are Ryan, Friday and Amor (although that last one is based less on the world series than on his success in bolting the Team GB squad together sufficiently well to make the Olympic final.<br><br>
I think that NZ sevens needs a new broom, wherever they get one from, home or elsewhere. 22 (24?) yrs is too long without a new man at the helm. -
<p>I'm not being particularly facetious. It remains a fact that a Great Britain team has made the final and Fiji under an English coach has finally shown some professionalism and it's paying dividends for them.</p>

Oh, no doubt. But turns out I have bigger worries now. Mrs DoTW (22 yrs married) just read my last post over my shoulder and expressed her agreement that, yes, perhaps 22 yrs is too long without a new man... -

Guess you had better join the search for tall athletic types then. -
