IRB Sevens 2012

But I believe he was 'parachuted' into that team. He was injured for most of the "normal" schools' season and didn't play in the Australian Schools' Championships.

BTW my spelling of 'parachuted' looks quite ordinary.

I would've thought with Cam in the squad, dad would've pressed Foxsports harder to show Day 1.

Just saw the Kenya V Australia result, what the FFFF!

Score please?

A lot against not many. 35 blot.

Australia 14 v Canada 12
Asutralia 10 v France 10
Off to the bowl 1/4s vs Japan on day 2.

Not a good day and really struggled to score points. Anyway tomorrow is another day.

Australia missed a sitter of a conversion barely to the right of posts after the second try.France made a field goal to tie before half time and then no more scoring in second half.
Had seen the stats of the squad before the tourney and noticed that there was only Lewis Holland with any kicking experience, and Australia has paid for it dearly. (Holland didn't play in the France game or did he have a haircut?)

South Africa to face Fiji in quarters

Surely we have learned the first rule of Sevens by now? Always, but always, have somebody on the field who can convert most of your tries. An unconverted try is often worth nothing in a tight game. The extra two points wins many, many, games.

Fox prefer the golf to the 7s, not even showing Day 2 zzzz

It will be on at 11:40 (so the message said)

yeah for the Aus game I assume, don't see why they can't make it viewer's choice

Watching the bowl final Aus v Kenya rematch.

The catching and passing from the aussies is beyond woeful - especially from the base of the ruck. They should really think about bringing a running halfback into the squad. This Yakapo guy isnt much chop.

Sean McMahon looks the goods, I think he will super rugby one day as a 6 maybe.

Can someone explain to me why we persist in competing in this joke of a tournament ?? Anyone got an idea on how much it's costs to run the Sevens campaign each year?? Surely this money could be better spent at the grassroots level rather than sending a pack of 18 year old in shit colored jerseys around the world ..

This made me laugh, bit I disagree I dont think we invest enough in this format. However that money must be generate by the 7s side. It must be new revenue, not current revenue being diverted from an existing program.

We need more contracted 7s specialists. Times have changed we can't use it for developing 15s players, otherwise we'll never bring home the decent silverware (or Olympic medal)

Pools for Vegas have just been released.

We're playing Japan, NZ and Samoa. Don't think we'll top this pool..

Pretty ordinary footy in the replayed Kenya game today, physically the guys seemed outgunned, not to mention how they were burnt by pace.
