@booboo So winning the previous event gets you the draw from hell, while pool D is rather weak. Luck of the draw??
Is that really the pool from hell?
Sevens can be fickle and one error can land you out of the quarters which upsets the next tourny's pools. It is accepted as part of the game.

One match v invitation team, plus two against teams that could beat us means that we won't be able to spread the match time around the squad as much as in recent events. There are nine top tier teams nowadays, with GB a bit off the pace. We have 3 in our pool, the others 2. You don't really want to play a pool winner in the quarter-finals. Yep, I think easily the toughest pool - and against two of the most physical teams.

We won't see Andrew Knewstubb for a while ...
stubbnugget Had a few people asking when I’ll be back out there, unfortunately in preparation for @lasevensrugby I’ve re torn my ACL so will have to keep grinding away a bit longer, appreciate my team mates for all the messages and everyone else

The AB7s squad for the LA Sevens (25 - 26 February 2023)
Unavailable for selection: Andrew Knewstubb, Kitiona Vai, Regan Ware, Sione Molia, Tim Mikkelson, Tone Ng Shiu (injury).
The squad named for the USA and Canada rounds, will see the return of Moses Leo and hopeful All Blacks Sevens debutant Fehi Fineanganofo in the only two changes to the team, who successfully lifted the HSBC Sydney Sevens trophy at the end of January.It's Dylan Collier's 50th tournament.

Was Fehi Fineanganofo part of the wider sevens squad? He's ex-AGS, a centre, and would only be 19/20.

I vaguely recall him being in team lists for the World Schools Sevens in the tournament before the most recent one.

I was referring to the AB sevens squad. The team list on allblacks.com is not current so it's hard to know who is in the training group at Mt Maunganui.

I don't think that NZR comms team (and the SR ones also) really understand that there is a demand for knowledge and stats about squads etc. Most player profile sections on sites are used to load the obligatory photo shoots then the profiles are very patchy.
Hopefully the Silverlake partnership really improves this to more of a US sporting standard. -
What's the hold up asks he who does not have a Sky connection? The Great Britian v Spain match seems to have been stuck on GB 19 - 17 Spain with 13minutes 5 seconds played for over half an hour now.

NZ v USA game happened about 2hours late because of the weather. NZ won 36-15. Surprisingly few mistakes given the surface water
When is the game v Samoa now?

That's going well ...
