Here are the barbarian teams for this weekend.

I'm assuming this weekends tournament is on stan, does anyone have the schedule?

Edit: found it here https://oceania.rugby/competitions/oceania-rugby/pacifcaus-sports-oceania-sevens?r=aboutcomp

 

[Tah Man]

Anyone else having trouble viewing via Stan?

I was but restarted the app and my tv, is going fine now

Stan feed was a bit slow to start but it's working now.

Barbarians team is going ok against the kiwi's team so far

Kerevi looked ponderous & slow. But it is his first, so I’ll give him some slack. But I thought he had better acceleration.

 

[Wilson]

Looking bloody hot out there

NZ coverage has finished & doesn't resume until 9:25 our time, is that because there's no games at all between those times or just none involving NZ? Missed the first session (if that's what it was) so results would be appreciated.

Yeah, next game starts at 7:30 local, so 9:30 your time.

Results:

Mens:
Aus 14 v Fiji 26
NZ 28 v Oceania 5

Womens:
NZ 53 v Oceania 0
Aus 31 v Fiji 17

Nawaqanitawase missed his first tackle. Thought the Waratahs 201 thread could have blown up.

Absolutely loving the feed into the half time huddle. Not too family friendly though

I reckon Pama Fou and Henry Hutchison don’t go to Tokyo. Neither are the players they once were. At least HH is technically sound (has just lost his speed) Fou is borderline a liability.

I thought his contribution was pretty damn good considering it was his first 7s game at this level. No mistakes from what I recall. No game time in the 2nd game I don’t think? I guess they’ll hold him back for tomorrow.

Yeah, really disappointed Fou so far, thought he was great in the previous tournament but he hasn't kept it up. I'm not too sure on positions in 7s but Bell and Turner for Oceania have both looked great and wouldn't be surprised to see them make it.

 

[Wilson]

Jeez, Caslick is immense.

 

[Jimmy_Crouch]

Skill level from the Australian women is just so much higher than the Australian mens team.

 

[Adam84]

I thought Henry Patterson for Oceania looked quite good as well, better option then Henry Hutchinson

 

[sendit]

Where is Sykes? I thought for a while she was the heir apparent to Caslick, after seeing Ashby play though I’m not so sure

Hope Faith Nathan grows a bit more, she’ll be amazing with a tad more size

Au v NZ women looking like Match Of The Day.
