Good news on the weather front: the tropical low heading our way hasn't developed into a cyclone & what rain it does bring is expected tomorrow & Thursday with a window of decent weather to follow.

Also some Men returning from injury but still several front liners out:

2 Brady Rush 4 Akuila Rokolisoa 5 Dylan Collier 6 Ngarohi McGarvey-Black 7 Sam Dickson (C) 9 Amanaki Nicole 11 Joe Webber 12 Leroy Carter 13 Moses Leo 21 Che Clark 27 Sione Molia 44 Roderick Solo 64 Regan Ware

Unavailable for selection: Andrew Knewstubb, Kitiona Vai, Scott Curry, Tim Mikkelson, Tone Ng Shiu (injury), Tepaea Cook-Savage (illness)

Ng Shiu the biggest loss for mine & I'm consequently not sure what to expect from that group, kinda has a rocks or diamonds vibe to it.

Hard to see the women's Final not being NZ v Aus. Provided both NZ & Aus men beat GB (which they really should) they get relatively easy QF & ideally NZ v SA or Samoa & Aus v Fiji or Arg SF at which point all bets are off.

I'm loving how close the mens series is, plus there is always 1 that misses the final 8

Didn’t realise John Manantis son was a good cricketer. Was watching BBL just now, Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Ben has played BBL for the past 5 years; previously at the Sixers. I believe he has a brother who also plays First Grade cricket.

Samoa 31-5 Kenya. Scratchy first half, HT 5-5, but dominant last four minutes. Interesting that 11 of their 13 are Samoan residents, big change to the South Auckland selection of previous years - I wonder if that's a sign of things to come wrt their XV's program?
