@MN5 without a doubt, still doesnt mean he should have, similarly to the likes of Sivivatu, Tamanivalu, Frizzel...but it is what it is.
I'll remember this for when Akira Ioane gets talked up for the 473rd time on this forum.....
@MN5 I dont see the similarity?

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the Aussie sevens have scored themselves one of the young sprinters. Too lazy to look up his name -it's the guy with the massive thighs. Looking forward to seeing how he goes.

@Crazy-Horse Trey Williams I think aka 'Quad-zilla' at 10.10 PB is quicker than Isles or Baker

So Edward Osei-Nketia, won an aussie 100m final last night qualifying him for a world event later in the year.
But what is probably bigger news, is kiwi girl, Zoe Hobbs won the female 100m final as well (bigger news in that the hype would lead many to believe Edward was gonna win this, while many probably never heard of Zoe)

I assume NZR will be chasing him if he can't go any further with his sprinting. Our 7s team has been lacking a proper speedster.Given the option I'd love him to go the the Olympics for sprinting but not sure if his times are at the highest global level even accounting for his age.

An off-season with the Jamaican programme should fix that.

@mofitzy_ an 18yr old white kid in the US broke a 30yr record with 9.98 earlier this year.
