I thought making the women's 7's & XV's fully pro was meant to stop this sort of thing:
"Tyla Nathan-Wong released from New Zealand Rugby contract to join NRLW"
www.newshub.co.nz
Big loss a year out from Paris
"Tyla Nathan-Wong released from New Zealand Rugby contract to join NRLW"
Nathan-Wong released from NZ Rugby, Black Ferns Sevens to join NRLW
The 28-year-old is the latest player to head to Australia for a code switch.

Not really. just reading the writing on the wall that is increasing broadcast rights and rapidly growing CBA’s within NRLW. Money talks.
Failure to commercialise women’s rugby in Oceania means that all Oceania rugby players are a target by NRLW clubs.

NZ men's 7's need a new coach - Clark Laidlaw is the new 'canes coach.

I understand they sell to governments on multi year deals but the event would be so much better if it moved around Australia annually.

Maybe being a UK-er plays its part, but I've found myself unable to get excited about Sevens generally post COVID. The product has begun to feel very... corporate? for lack of a better term, with the push to align with olympic tournament sizing, and the host location shifting over the past 8 seasons or so, particularly the loss of the Vegas Sevens.
