A reminder this is also on Stan for those in Aus

NZ are playing now, so those times must be local.

Here's the schedule with NZ times:

Results of day 1:

[Bovidae]

The results for the women are encouraging as from what I saw from game 1, Aust were closer to a full strength team.

Interesting to see Lotu Inisi playing for Tonga. You don't see that many SR players playing sevens after the NPC anymore.

[Bovidae]

And unlike his old man, Jordan Bunce is playing for Niue not Samoa.

NZ Development struggling against Australia.

[Bovidae]

Some dumb decisions by experienced players nearly cost the AB7s their game vs Aust. Looking at you Dickson.

[KiwiMurph]

Good AB 7s win over Fiji. Che Clark looked good.

[Duluth]

Samoa leading NZ 19-7 in the final

[KiwiMurph]

Nice comeback by NZ but Samoa look like they will be a real handful this season.

Thanks to a post on Wairarapa-Bush's socials, we also know there's a Central Region's tournament, this weekend, in Palmerston North. Complete silence from all other provinces. It wouldn't surprise me if there's also a Southern Region tournament somewhere.
