@Bovidae thanks for the update be great to see us full strength at some stage during the series

[Bovidae]

The AB7s beat Aust 28-21, surviving with 6 players at the end. Better counter-rucking to create some turnovers and tries.

[Bovidae]

A tough 19-7 win for the BF7s over France in their SF.

The AB7s will play GB for 5th/6th.

Black Ferns currently being demolished by the Wobblie Ladies 26-0

Highlights of the AB7s final game in Cape Town against GB. Both Clarke and Tocker score a try, and you see the speed of Tocker.

Tocker looks a bit of a beast. Good to see some new players coming through. I've been watching Lasaqa in the highlights packages but yet to see him in any open space.

[Bovidae]

@KiwiPie I haven't watched every game but Lasaqa has often been inaccurate with his passing and at the breakdown. Maybe trying too hard. He appears to be used as a playmaker than out wide so is not getting those opportunities in space.

Now we have a nearly 2 month break until Singapore.

For the Fiji Coral Coast 7s.
