Henry Hutchison has been a revelation playing hooker. He's no longer an out and out speedster on the wing (and perhaps never quite was) but he's now quick again for the position he's playing, he's excellent over the ball and a great tackler.

Walsh never seemed to have quite the same success with the men, though, compared to his previous stint with the women.
Tougher competition for a start I guess.
he was the one that brought in Roache and Toole though. And had some early success this year before they swapped again.

Walsh is certainly the more experienced Sevens coach. But Manenti's day might come, as he gains experience in Sevens. He is a well regarded coach at club level, I believe that he did not seek advancement as a coach (until the Sevens opportunity came along) because he is, or was, fully occupied in the family business.

I watched HH in Hong Kong in 2019 and his rugby skills were ordinary to say the least, the whole Aussie team were terrible unfortunately but the tournament was brilliant to watch. I couldn’t believe someone at that skill level could get anywhere near a national team. Having said well done to the national team and HH to reinvent him into a really useful part of the team playing hooker. He looks much more at home there than playing in the backs. I really enjoyed watching the men play in the Singapore 7’s I thought they were brilliant. Extremely well drilled.

Tough draw, Oz have SA in their pool. So if they top the pool (by beating SA) they probably play samoa, lose to SA and come second in the pool then they probably play the darkness.

oz v sa around 11.30 sydney time. Oz seems to have scored better than SA in both of the day 1 games they have had. Could be an epic.

Two good performances by Australia esp against Spain. Their defence is much improved from a few years ago. Saffers will provide a big test to see who goes thru top of the pool.

Thanks for the link as tried googling YouTube sevens Canada but no cigar so great to see oz vs sa match
oz men go down to South Africa after leading. Oz men have history of leading and then losing for big games…the way they are playing they can beat any side on the day. Just need to get better at closing out after Taking the lead l
