On the current ladder yes, SA 111 Arg 105, Aus 100 but don't forget that the two worst Series performances don't count so on that basis SA are actually further in front:

1. SA 88 (111)
2. Arg 75 (105) -13 (-6)
3. Aus 72 (100) -16 (-11)
4. Fiji 64 (65) -24 (-46)
5. USA 56 (70) -32 (-41)
6. Ire 51 (69) -37 (-42)

Unless SA miss a Leg I don't think they can be caught even if they don't win another one.

Yes this is where excluding 2 worse performances is unfortunate as don’t think any of top 3 teams missed any games. Hence be interested to see raw final scores who is on top vs adjusted scores for exclusion of 2 worse performances.

Portia Woodman has been named in the NZ squad for Langford where she stands a decent chance of becoming the first woman to score 200 World Series tries: currently on 195 which is already a record but obviously 200 would be a career-defining achievement. First tournament since tearing her Achilles in October 2019.

"The Black Ferns Sevens squad for Langford is Michaela Blyde, Kelly Brazier, Theresa Fitzpatrick, Stacey Fluhler, Sarah Hirini (C), Jazmin Hotham, Shiray Kaka, Tyla Nathan-Wong, Risaleaana Pouri-Lane, Alena Saili, Terina Te Tamaki, Tenika Willison, Portia Woodman"

Veteran Woodman returns to Black Ferns Sevens to chase tryscoring record

The speedster has not played on the world sevens circuit since 2018.

Keep an eye out for Jesse Southwell who is on debut for the girls sevens comp in langford. she isn't that big, pretty quick, magic step, great long pass but signed for the next years bloody newcastle league girls team. She was a standout in the aon comp. Had to finish high school held her back a bit...
I would like to think that was my problem too....

NZ held to a draw by Fiji but still top Pool C & will play loser of Aus v Canada (last match of the day in around 90 minutes) in a QF.

Edit: Portia Woodman's match-saver was her 199th World Series try.

Faith Nathan has serious wheels & terrific footwork.

HT Aus 7-0 Canada.

Aus starting to run away with it now, aided by unforced errors by Canada.

Thought NZ had dto ne enough to snatch that but when Hirini went off they seemed to lose composure & made a series of dumb errors that gifted Aus field position. That said, Aus were worthy winners of both the Leg & Series.

I still think NZ are the benchmark ahead of Aus. Was good for our mob to get this one in particular though. Obviously plenty more events before this year is out to see where each team is at.

^ NZ really need to tip Aus over in Toulouse, don't want to go into Comm Games &R7WC with that "how do we beat these girls?" monkey on their backs.

Day 1 highlights.

Boy the oz girls did well, gave away some easy points but wore them down in the end. They certainly seemed better in defense than last time i remember vs NZ, well done.
