Very young squad. Walsh will have a lot of depth for the incoming series.

I think Tim often sends an "up and coming" squad to this, so its no suprise - especially as New Zealand are not there.

That is true. I wonder that NZ does not also take the opportunity to do the same.

I wonder that NZ does not also take the opportunity to do the same.

New Zealand don't seem to get out of bed for anything less than a World Series/Championship. I think (I haven't checked) they sent a junior team to this once when it was in Australia (and lost to Fiji). A couple of years ago it was even hosted in New Zealand and New Zealand did not enter.

Has to be said that their isolationism does not do them any harm, and it would be true to say that they quality of competition they could get within New Zealand will be far stronger than they would be faced with in this tournament.

OTOH it does not do much to help the development of the game in their region, but it has to be said that New Zealand are far from being alone among the major nations when it comes to failing to help the development of the region's rugby. When did England last send an "A" team to wave the flag in developing countries in Europe?

Day 1 Oceania 7s - not surprisingly 100% records for Fiji and Aus. Bit of a shocker for Samoa given their 3rd place in seeding, but they themselves were not expecting much - http://www.radionz.co.nz/international/ ... oceania-7s.

Fiji 52 - 0 PNG
Cook I 33 - 0 Samoa
Aus 54 - 0 Solomon I
PNG 12 - 5 Cook I
Tonga 21 - 0 Solomon I
Fiji 28 - 5 Samoa
Aus 45 - 5 Tonga
Cook I 57 - 0 Solomon I
PNG 28 - 10 Samoa
Fiji 33 - 0 Tonga
Aus 43 - 0 Cook I
PNG 45 - 0 Solomon I

Brasil 33 x 00 Chile

Brasil 26 x 05 Argentina 2

Brasil 26 x 00 Peru – Semifinal

Brasil 19 x 14 Argentina – Final

Oceania 7s Day 2

PNG 31 - 0 Tonga
Aus 46 - 0 Samoa
Samoa 14 - 7 Tonga
Aus 39 - 0 PNG
Cook I 27 - 0 Tonga
Samoa 41 - 0 Solomon I
Aus 31 - 0 Fiji

Australia win the Cup with a 100% record from the round robin.

Fiji 2nd and PNG should be 3rd.

I hope I captured all the results and correctly!

Canada ended up winning, and didn't have a single point scored on them... Probably should've sent a weaker side. Give some of the juniors a run out.

A bit random and a bit late, but anyone know why Kazakhstan didn't send a team to the Asia sevens completed just recently? They did pretty well in the Olympic qualifiers by memory. Have they moved to Europe? Just wondering, thanks!

Total cock-up is the short answer. Their withdrawal letter from the Asian 15s was badly written and interpreted as a withdrawal from all ARU competitions in 2016. When they realised what had happened the Kazakhs tried to clarify and say that they only meant the 15s, but the ARU (perhaps still annoyed by their 15s withdrawal so close to the contest) refused to accept it and refused to put them back in the sevens.

As it is apparently the Kazakhs have now been suspended for six months from World Rugby - not sure why - which is why the recent 15s games v Hong Kong were unofficial.

Oh dear. If it wasn't so serious it would be laughable.

Kazakhstan must have been pardoned because they are competing in the Asia 7s U18 female championship. Their girls are in final, where they will meet (tomorrow?) Hong Kong
India finished surprisingly 3rd, losing just 0-5 with HK and defeating twice their cousin Sri Lanka, which finished 4th. At least other two teams were present in this Asia U18 7s championship: Uzbekistan and Arab Emirates

Yesterday Curitiba RC was crowned Brazilian Women's champions for the second time in a row, becoming also the first club in Brazil to win in the same year the top men's and women's national competititons.

The last round of the Brazilian Super Sevens (the Brazilian Womens Sevens Series) was played in São Paulo. Niterói won it, with Curitiba finishing third. Just enough to clinch the title. The series had 4 tournaments and in the 3rd tournament, played in Curitiba, the national team players were absent, trainng to go to Dubai. That tournament saw São José and Niterói having very poor performances, while Curitiba was that leg's champions.

Question: the Brazilian Rugby Union says Brazilian Super Sevens is the FIRST national womens sevens series in the world (as it was created in 2012).

Is it true?

Depends what they mean? Its not the first domestic sevens tournament or series, obviously, but I guess most of the rest are club tournaments whereas this i more regional representative teams?

Brazil "benefit" from having almost nothing but sevens domestically, and a big country which makes a sevens series both possible and essential. Other countries that have had regional tournaments normally have these as one-off events (China has had a regional tournament from probably before 2012, but maybe not a series) but most countries also have to fit fifteens into their calenday, this making less room for 7s.

So maybe they are right?
