I think no. Aus can only get 8 pts less than Samoa, so ... (hasty edit here) ... I think: 1. If Australia gets 8 pts in 7th place then Aus qualify. 2. If Australia gets 6 pts in 8th place then: (a) Australia qualify if Samoa get 14 pts in 4th place; (b) Samoa qualify if Samoa get 16 pts in 3rd...

Yeah, WR (World Rugby) are not extra transparent on these things, but I think so (if they don't change their minds ;) ).

What Australia can do is beat Fiji today. The quarter final is our Grand Final. The interesting thing is the points on offer seem to have changed from the other tournaments during the season. Click here: "With a maximum of 20 points to play for at the 12-team HSBC London Sevens, it means...

If there are enough widely-spaced transceivers (the more, the better) then triangulation can determine location in 3D. ... if necessary to ensure diversity of their positioning, some could be mounted on poles to have a wider range for the vertical axis.

The media is very different to sponsors. Media love to increase the amount of variables in the mix. Sponsors, not so much. Conflict, in any direction, is gold for the media. "If it bleeds, it leads" ... you only have to look at the Folau saga. Year upon year of material generated on that story...

For London, essentially they can be 8 points worse than Samoa and 9 points worse than South Africa. So, assuming the same points scale in London as used for the rest of the season, reaching a semifinal guarantees qualification. Canada's good form (or the Aussie failure against them ...) in...

<Edit... moved my reply to the match thread in case it spoilers someone looking to catch a replay...

Did I say Ireland have trouble scoring?

Nothing doing with Mounga this time... Saders good for their lead though

Still decent odds both Samoa and the Saffas make the quarters. Samoa have the players to beat Australia. Hopefully they don't, but they could. And South Africa have some experienced players back from injury now. They've already beaten Fiji in their pool. If they win against the Seppos, they...

Is Sam Cordingley staying in place?

Amazing finish and Congrats to the Reds! Didn't get a chance to watch it live (and TBH didn't think Qld had much of a chance) but they pull out their season's best performance ... awesome!

Yeah, hopefully it's an over-stated rumour. Otherwise the team itself is seemingly penalised for dodgy deeds further up the chain.

Rumours and rumblings

Too much weights, not enough speed work.

Had a stormer of a game but he gets gassed. Need a 7 to be able to play 80 mins.

Won't happen

To be better at XV (compared to 7s) they need to be recruiting wider than touch footy players. Get some more basketballers/lifters/rowers

But I think the Reds are still in trouble. Getting beaten on both offence and defence.

Better result there. Like the opening of the first half...
