Pressure in the scrum, double tackle to cause a drop and the pilfer penalty at the end. How good

Our girls folded under good pressure from the Kiwis. Both the US and NZ Womens teams have opted for deep kick offs with heavy pressure then on the opponent's try line as they attempt to get out. The strategy has worked well for both countries. It will be an interesting match up in the Gold Medal match.

Does Tegan Levi get 3 games for the swinging arm on Maddi Levi after the match winner?

I had not realised that with the changes in structure the final tournament in Madrid is now a "Grand Final" with the top 8 teams competing to be series champions, rather than the previous model of most points takes it. On that note it looks like the Australian Men's result in Hong Kong was good enough to secure a top 8 finish (the Women locked it down a while ago):

Adds a lot more interest to the final rounds of the Men's comp, where under the previous system Argentina would be pretty much uncatchable.

It probably allows teams to rest players and give exposure to rookies young and old with out having to chase as many ranking points through the season.
I think we will see Hooper at the Singapore tournament but not Madrid when the strongest possible squad gets rolled out again.

I think he will be in that best squad as one of our last couple of players. Our forwards are where we are weakest and I think he will improve substantially with the experience and I'd probably already pick him ahead of Michael Icely (who often isn't in our best squad).
I'd say our best 5 forwards are Hutchison, Malouf, Paterson, Lawson and Hooper.

OK that makes sense. So much hype last year about him and then nothing. I presume this is one of those cotton wool situations.
