It will be interesting to see how the boys go in Fiji this Sunday morning, particularly any of the new boys getting a run such as Burey and Nawaqanitawase before the Olympic squad is announced. Not sure if Toole is also going to get a run as he was not announced in the initial squad.

Interesting news that RA want to move the Womens Sevens program to Ballymore, but will be looking for Govt financial support to make it happen.

Sevens Heaven For Olympic Stars In Ballymore's Future

Australia’s champion women’s rugby sevens squad will be moved to Brisbane full-time should Government backing for a High-Performance Centre at Ballymore be approved.

The Women's A and B teams had good hit outs at Ballymore today, against Japan and Fiji. No further injuries as far as I could see.

How do the finals work? Do four go through or six?

There are quarter-finals, so it's likely the same as the SVNS series. Top two plus the best two third-place teams.

In the men's comp there is a whole day between the quarters and semis which is a bit different to normal

That seems like the best possible outcome for both our teams.

? Men's draw looks to me like a dog's breakfast. Australia ranked 4 up against the No 1 ranked side while Pool C has the 5th and 6th ranked sides as the best in that group.

Whatever happened to 1, 6, 7, 12 (Pool A) ; 2, 5, 8, 11 (Pool B); and 3, 4, 9, 10 (Pool C) arrangement?

Watched the girls at Ballymore on Saturday (I saw Fiji v Japan, Aus 2nds v Fiji and Aus v Japan). Looked strong but a little heavy legged. I'd imagine they trained through and will taper closer to the tournament. Caslick and M Levi rested.

Japan were better than expected. Very physical and no quit in them.

Argentina has come off the boil quite a bit of late and France are current champions while Fiji is Fiji.

The 12 men’s and 12 women’s teams were allocated to three pools of four teams based on their rankings due to performances over the last two years of the HSBC SVNS Series, Challenger Series and other World Rugby-sanctioned tournaments

I don't think it's either or, the reporting is just all about Nawaqanitawase because he's the headline name. As far as I'm aware Toole's inclusion was pretty much locked in before this camp, given his pace and history in the game.

Hooper has retired with immediate effect as he was not going to make the actual Olympic squad (but may have been included as a travelling reserve). Team to be locked in this Wednesday so hopefully announced same day.
