Oz sevens limp out getting mid table finish - oz sevens team need at least probably two more players with genuine pace and skills to match top teams.

We are realistically no chance for the olympics with the current squad

^ or NZ. Luckily they're showing the Fed Cup SF between, um, Straya & Belarus. Da fuck.

NZ women had a chance to set a new record for consecutive wins but only got away with a 17-17 by Russia c/- a post-hooter try.

Our girls went down to what has been a very ordinary England side all season in the qtrs. If France get a good result our automatic Olympics spot is in threat going to the last round.

Their decline has been rather alarming all season, they are very (dare I say it) wallaby like with their side to side style and it’s getting picked off, funnily enough an ex wallabies assistant and fly half has been heavily involved with the 7s program of late. Team desperately needs more power players.

QF results were Canada 17-14 Russia, USA 26-19 New Zealand, Australia 7-21 England, France 19-0 Ireland

Gotta wonder what's up with NZ, sure we're missing some players but from dominating the comp to drawing with Russia & getting thumped by France, that's a long way to fall in a short period of time.

Without wanting to state the fucking obvious, if NZ had played like this yesterday & first up today they'd be playing for a gong not fifth.......

yeah NZL were far too good that first half. We barely touched the ball.

Green had perhaps the poorest campaign I've seen from her. So much dropped ball and couldn't find space. Rebels3 was bang on in saying that our attack was too lateral. Coincidentally I thought it was much better in the 2nd half and we saw some results there.

Caslick was bloody classy in her first tournament back and I thought Lilly Dick was impressive as well, for a relative rookie.

Canada 7-5 England but why oh why would Canada take Williams who has serious pace off early then send her back out to essentially play halfback/ 1st5? Landry of course got the winner but 2min into overtime.
