Rugby 7s general chat

NZR have announced men's & women's HSBC Sevens Legs in Hamilton on 21 & 22 January 2023.

World Rugby Sevens returning to Hamilton in 2023 after two-year absence

New Zealand's biggest sporting party will return to Hamilton this summer.

Edit: a ground adjacent to the stadium (presumably club Fraser Tech's across the road) will be used to fit all the games in.

Full schedule to be released "in coming days" so I'm guessing Sydney or another Australian venue will be named then.

Kerevi was very good in japan

yeah i suppose it just sucks if you have a cohesive squad that are delivering and then you boot two. I just hope they have a proper crack - not the standard - play the 1 tournament before. (note i didn't read the article)

I see what your saying but its still a massively young squad made up of talented club footballers with 2 older guys. We had to draft in Billy Meakes at the start of the season cause most of the squad hadn't played more than 5 tournaments each.

he was the best of a pretty terrible bunch.

I love the fact that now all Aussie Rugby teams are playing in the same gold predominant strip. The canary yellow of Aussie 7’s was appalling.

Wallabies need Kerevi at 12 to beat The Pumas. Cheika knows everything about RA so will vbe a tough contest and it's proven that there's no a properly backup for Samu

The bad thing is that you can't buy the 7s jersey. I wanted the Adidas Olympic jersey but never was sell for the commoners. You have to be the son of Andy Marinos to get a 7s jersey lol The marketing is so mismanaged in RA

TBF to RA - they don't own the rights to the Olympics uniforms. AOC like to keep them only for players and support staff (and siblings who get the extra kit)

Good to see a little research and knowledge outweighing internet outrage.

Yep AOC just changed suppliers. All sports had a similar look made by ASICS.

Anything you see the Olympic teams wearing that is not ASICS brand will be "technical" equipment eg bathers for the swim team

PNG out is such a real shame, the had a new board come in last year & really trying to do everything to get to the comm games & olympics!

they just finished a massive 7's tournament with all their regions playing, really just a shitty thing to happen to them this would have been great leading into the challenger series

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Public holiday in NZ tomorrow hopefully the weather plays ball & some decent numbers turn out.
