It's also a great example why the ARU and State Unions need to look to setting up a distinct Sevens season that targets mass participation.
Am interested to see Liam McNamara, Josh Coward and Simon Kennewell get more game time They showed some class at the Central Coast 7s. Kennewell in particular looks like he's ready to step straight into the world circuit. I wonder if Porch will continue to be used as a playmaker? They need to find someone to step into Stannards shoes.
On the ladies side Mahalia Murphy and Emma Sykes were simply brilliant at the CC7s and I can't wait to see how they go on the World Series stage. Sykes in particular lit it up with lighting speed while MM has strength, speed and elusiveness.

Should Sevens sell itself as a summer sport?
Target the off-season rugby union, rugby league players and Aussie Rules players..
I get it the heat in summer is bad, but it's not unplayable, and whilst cricket owns most ovals in Summer there are still plenty of dedicated rectangular stadiums across the country.

I don't mind that idea. Probably makes sense given when the world series is played too. Creates some tournaments around the place and leads up to the Sydney 7s.
Haven't heard anything further about this national uni league that's meant to kick off next year.

Anything that supports rugby is good. I know there is Viva 7s which they don't tackle
Nice to see some new faces added http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/ne...m/news-story/a54b4f55f5b0fcc3f3dff4d9443b81f6

I do not understand why NZ aren't sending teams, surely for the men in particular this would be better prep for Dubai than (at best) a weekend camp at Mt Maunganui?

Look who we have sent.
It's hardly a warm up for Dubai.
More a final trial for contracts.

Unsurprisingly Fiji & Australia won the men's & women's Oceania 7's.

Kolinisau had to leave early so as to be in London in time for the WR (World Rugby) awards, I'd say that pretty much confirms that he'll (deservedly) get the 7's POTY award.

Oh shit yeah. What would it be up against?
A-League? Yay, Craig Foster crapping on about soccer's inferiority complex. Boring. T20? If I wanted to see people hit a ball a long way with minimal opposition, I'd watch golf.

There's so many fringe NRL players that would love to play as well, there's already 4 or 5 well established 7's tournaments like the Central Coast Sevens which could become officially accredited/recognised as part of a wider series.. the ARU wouldn't need to start from scratch, just build on what's already there

There was a abbreviated proposal published on The Roar a little while ago. I think it was titled Sevens Rugby Smash. It was designed to run the course of 4 weeks with 6-8 teams. I think that would be worthwhile looking at.
