2018-2019 World Sevens Series

Contentious refereeing decision leads to a NZ scrum and Brazier kicks it out.
I don't care, New Zealand win another title!
Full time: NZ 21 - 17 AUS
If I heard it correctly, the Black Ferns 7s apparently have now equalled their own record of winning 4 tournament in one Series.

Going from your good commentary, it sounds as though Nathan-Wong was WOM? Two assists and a try?

The girls need to give the boys some lessons!
One of the most noticeable differences is the urgency in the BF7s' defence that is often lacking in the AB7s' game. Ruby Tui and Niall Williams, in particular, are relentless! They just keep going; tackle, tackle, tackle! Also fewer handling errors and, relatively speaking, more players with great speed. If only the AB7s had the male equivalents of players like Blyde, Nathan-Wong and Brazier (and Woodman, when fit) ...
Obviously, the girls also play with a lot of confidence, something the men seem to be missing at times. Alan Bunting is probably also a better coach.

Joe Webber (Bay of Plenty)Scott Gregory and Vilimoni Koroi return from injury to bolster the travelling squad, while Sam Dickson, Trael Joass and Niko Jones are currently sidelined.A six week break since the last tournament has seen the All Blacks Sevens squad have a chance to refresh. “It’s felt like a mini pre season in a way. We had a couple of weeks away from each other and everyone came back quite excited. We have had a look at our game and reflected where we are at and there is a desire to finish the season with quality performances,” said Laidlaw. At the past two tournaments the All Blacks Sevens suffered quarterfinal defeats, but Laidlaw said that’s no reason to panic. “You need a huge amount of perspective when you lose. There are a couple of areas of the game we want to improve but at the same time there are a lot of things that have been going really well.”The All Blacks Sevens currently sit third on the World Series standings and need to finish in the top four to confirm Olympic Qualification.http://www.allblacks.com/News/34138/all-blacks-sevens-seeking-strong-finish-in-europe

@Stargazer reading through that squad now it's starting to look really good. Webber, Ware, Molia, Baker have been there done that and can really be relied upon. Ng Shiu and Gregory have been smashing it up and Nareki is really starting to get comfortable and prove dangerous.
Ravouvou is the weak link there, but damn he can be deadly when he occasionally turns it on.
Any idea what's happened to McGarvey-Black?
