Oceania Sevens underway in Townsville. Wins for Fiji Men over Oz and for a very scratchy error ridden NZ men 28-5 over Oceania Baabaa's (Oz B).

[Daffy Jaffy]

NZ women 51 - 0 over Oceania Baabaa's (Oz B).

@daffy-jaffy had no idea there is only 12 teams!

Mens side losing twice to Fiji yesterday doesn't bode well.

Looking likely for silver or bronze. Depending on when we meet Fiji.

[Bovidae]

WTF, a 3-pool format again!

[ARHS]

Fortunate draw for nz in both. Some ultra strong pools elsewhere

[Bovidae]

One minor surprise for me. Pouri-Lane over Willison.

Conservative and average selections by Laidlaw. Really lacking pace and x-factor out wide.

[Gunner]

No Caleb Clarke

5 years later Baker finally gets his Olympic shot.

@bovidae
Looks like an aging side too.

@gunner said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):

No Caleb Clarke

He is a travelling reserve.

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae be pretty gutting for him missing AB caps (and the Blues SRTT Win) to sit in the stands most of the olympics, but I guess he knew this was a possibility?

[Crucial]

Travelling reserves: William Warbrick, Caleb Clarke, Amanaki Nicole.

Travelling reserves: Tenika Willison, Jazmin Hotham, Terina Te Tamaki.
