Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

Interesting that ENS and Clarke are both straight in. The transition work between XVs and 7s won't be complete but is obviously considered good enough.

It’s only a warm up series, they’re in to speed up their transition I guess

@crucial Has she already left school?
Good point. She was available for the games in Wellington.
It is probably too early for her yet anyway. The step up at Wellington showed competency but that is all. -
I totally forgot that the first games were this morning. Did anyone watch them? First impressions?
@stargazer Quite clinical and accurate without many risks or glaring errors. Men tried a 7 up defence with no sweeper. When they finally got on top Koroi threw a bad pass each time they had an opportunity. NG Shiu Collier and Ware all looked potent. All round speed of NZ women often stretched Australia. Clarke looked good. Nanai Seturo a little reserved.

@bovidae I had to look it up:
All Blacks Sevens 14 - 5 Australia
Black Ferns Sevens 19 - 0 Australia
They've been livescoring here: https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/sport/2021/05/live-updates-all-blacks-black-ferns-sevens-v-australia-day-one.html

I thought the team the AB 7s started with lacked a bit of pace.
Of course the real value of the games this weekend is just a hit out.
Koroi looked a bit rusty where his timing was a bit off (threw an intercept try and another forward pass) so this game time will be good.
