I was impressed by the debutant Gregory. He got the winning steal vs England and seems to have a very high workrate.
@kiwimurph he wasnt afraid to mix it up with the forwards and went looking for work in the M10 Cup so good to see he has made the transition so quickly, seems a massive talent.

Needs a passport for the Olympics and I think this is qualifying tournament for said Olympics, so an extra requirement than normal WR Regs.

Reminded me of a very young Messam. The Messam that I thought would go on to play centre....

Scotland foot on the dead ball line before he dotted the ball down for the try.
If you haven't seen this, find it online. Farndale for Scotland v Fiji. Last play of the game, 2 points down and all they need is a try to win. He's over the line but decides to get closer to the posts (when he had no reason to) and cocks it up.
Also a French guy was taking his time to place the ball for a try and a Welsh defender sprints and dives underneath to hold the ball up. Nothing better than a bombed try!

If I were coach, neither of those two muppets would play for me again.

That will be why we aren't coaches.

One of the reasons. I wouldn't have thought you would have to coach players to not do what these clowns did.

Cape Town . NZ and SA meet in their pool game, the last game of the day on Sunday at 6.56am (NZT).
Their earlier games are against Zimbabwe at 11.49pm on Saturday and Samoa at 3.10am on Sunday.
New Zealand will be below-strength as they have had to call up reinforcements after a swathe of injuries before, and during, the Dubai tournament. Co-captain Scott Curry, Kurt Baker, Akuila Rokolisoa and Sam Dickson have returned to New Zealand while Jona Nareki and Regan Ware have travelled to South Africa in the hope they will have recovered from their injuries. Trael Joass, Etene Nanai-Seturo and Taylor Haugh have flown to South Africa from New Zealand this week.

The Chiefs have helped to ease the New Zealand men's sevens team's injury crisis. The Super Rugby franchise has released Etene Nanai-Seturo from pre-season duty to join the All Blacks Sevens in South Africa, ahead of this weekend's world series tournament in Cape Town. New Zealand suffered an unprecedented run of injuries in Dubai last weekend, with six players going down before and during the event. -

I hope that rookie Taylor Haugh will play better than he did at the Oceania Sevens. His passing was terrible in most games ; made a good try saving tackle in the last game though.
