Day 3 highlights
Men’s team really blew opportunity to all but guarantee automatic Olympics spot. Beat Canada and they would have had close to a 10pt advantage into the last round. Still if they can beat RSA it will go a long way to rectifying things and pretty much eliminate them from contention.
For London, essentially they can be 8 points worse than Samoa and 9 points worse than South Africa.How many points Aussie 7s need to qualify for the Olympics?
What Australia can do is beat Fiji today. The quarter final is our Grand Final.With Samoa in the QFs too, what must Australia achieve to stay in the direct qualifications for the Olympics?
1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | 5th | 6th | 7th | 8th |
20 | 18 | 16 | 14 | 12 | 10 | 8 | 6 |
Yeah, WR (World Rugby) are not extra transparent on these things, but I think so (if they don't change their minds ).^ I missed that they'd changed the points, was working off what's been used in every other Leg - must be to do with there only being 12 teams in the main draw rather than the usual 16?
I think no. Aus can only get 8 pts less than Samoa, so ... (hasty edit here) ... I think:Just tuned in
So Samoa losing the semi. Did that guarantee Australia’s olympic spot?
