Hamilton is officially NOT an iconic venue:

“...World Rugby has recently confirmed to NZR that New Zealand will not be one of the seven locations hosting the Sevens World Series under the new format. Making the upcoming Hamilton World Sevens Series tournament (21-22 Jan) the last of its kind,’’ [an NZR official] said in a statement.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I say!

Pool A looks the toughest in the men's draw.

Aus 52-0 SA (!)

NZ 19-7 Team GB

NZ Men 10-14 Spain

NZ v Kenya & Argentina, Aus v Uganda & USA to get things back on track. I fancy Aus's chances better than NZ's.

Needless to say the Aussie women’s defence has been outstanding. All aspects. Big hits. Incredible cover defence. Realignment work. Pressure over the ball. They’ve been exceptional. Notable that Madi Levi has been a little loose with her handling. Has probably left a handful of tries on the field.

^ NZ have to hope Aus don't build an uncatchable lead before Hirini, Fluhler, Fitzpatrick & Woodman are back & sevens-ready (Tui would be a bonus at this point) & Nathan-Wong is back to something like her pre-concussion form. Even then it's hard to see where NZ can beat them.

Saw a caption last night that NZ are the most penalised & most carded team in the men's Series. Rolling the risk/ reward dice at every second or third breakdown & getting snake eyes more often than not.

The lack of media attention in Aus on the Aus women is just outright disgraceful. They are the best story in Aus sport lately and the best story in women sport which they love to amplify lately.

A-bloody-men. They are exceptional athletes and role models. You couldn't get more marketable either.

Meanwhile, the men haven't had the tournament they would have liked but they have a good one in Dally Bird.
