2018-2019 World Sevens Series

TBH I don't know why the USA don't develop a more obvious gameplan of make some space for Isles.
-
Goodness, when is obviously in touch not in touch? The frog was clearly over the sideline.
-
Some phenomenal athletes on display in the USA Fiji match.
They showed Ben Ryan before, prancing about like he owns the whole fucking thing. God I dislike that bloke. Sells the wonderful narrative that Fiji were nothing but a dustbowl of average blokes after NZ had gone through and raped the whole country of all rugby talent, which he single handedly turned around into Olympic champions.
Most over rated rugby person on the entire fucking planet. Fuck off you ginger twat.

7s can be hard to watch with the standard of reffing
That Fiji v Argies game was probably the pick of the games so far.
-
The reffing this weekend was appalling so many errors it’s like there using 7s to test how there refs are

Put it this way; Rasta was considered a good 7s ref.

If Eddie Nketia sticks with rugby, I can see him being involved in the NZ7s environment next year.
@Dolamite or the Aussie 7s team...
-
What sort of car€€r$ are there in sevens, though, lads?
NZ or Aus, I wouldn't have thought especially mu¢h.
@Kiap guessing more than sprinting unless you are world class? From what I have read the kid is not expected to be a world force at senior level because he is not the quickest starter, so 200m might be his best bet.

On the other hand, if he's running that quick without a good start, imagine how fast he'll be when he cracks the starting.

@Crazy-Horse Yeah, world class is fair likely out of reach for now. But best in the country, particularly if he can eventually crack 10 sec, might still bring some pretty decent sponsorship deals.
Could aim at being the next Perry Baker but I reckon he took at least three years to establish himself, and the 7s squad guys aren't on a big baseline wedge - many average working joes willing to put in hours would make more.
A more likely trajectory IMO would be to give sprinting a shot first. After 3-4 years he can still have a go at a contact sport like rugby.
