Boks win the first four tournaments

..and then don't finish in the top four of any of the rest?

@Stargazer you've been paying attention, what went wrong with the Saffa's after Seville?

Not sure. Maybe a few squad changes? Still can't explain the huge drop.

[Stargazer]

@NTA Ah yes, that could be the reason.

Refs stopped sucking them off?

Great way for Kurt Baker to finish his 50th tournament with a gold medal.

And his junk up against the back of a team-mate's head, no doubt.

You weren't wrong!

If you are going to have a flag in a photo best to have it the right way around.

Fish gotta swim. Baker gotta fuckwit.

@NTA Well done, they were certainly building towards this after being left out for so long.

So not smart enough to have the LA Sevens sign facing them too?

Bakers at the back, so it is right way for most of the squad

Simple. They stole a march while Fiji NZ and Samoa were out with covid. The surprise was them winning the Commonwealth with a squad not as strong as in recent years.

[Stargazer]

Here's the full semi-final between NZ and Samoa. I don't know how long it will stay up, before it is removed from YT.

And here's the full final (you can skip the first 10-11 minutes).

NZ manages to finish 8th after missing the first four tournaments.

Congrats Oz. Enjoyed watching their side this year.

Just on the table Oz averaged 14 points per tournament and the AB7s averaged 16

Has anyone else won the series with only one tournament win?

Has anyone else won the series with only one tournament win?

Has anyone not one with double the tournament wins of the team with the next highest number of tournament wins?
