2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)
-
Conservative and average selections by Laidlaw. Really lacking pace and x-factor out wide.
-
@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?

Feel sorry for Warbrick especially plus Nicole and Rokolisoa. ENS Dickson and Molia a bit fortunate based on what I have seen. Pleased for Baker to get the chance this time. Caleb Clarke must have been close but he seemed a bit slow on the turn and chase as a defender. We do seem short on express pace in the backs.

That info has ENS as a Waikato player.
The travelling reserves are listed on the graphics.

I liked the look of Warbrick, quick and has size. Molia, ENS and Baker are very lucky. You just know the latter will lose a game at some stage.

Ah, that's a sad end to his Olympic campaign. Too old to make the next one.

@stargazer In hindsight it’s too bad Eddie Nikita didn’t know he wasn’t going to make it his sleeve would’ve been awesome in Tokyo.
