Re: Women's World Sevens Series 2016-2017
I've gotten a headache trying to figure this out. Not really sure why they are tampering with a system that's worked pretty well the last couple of years.
Japan are hosts for the next event, plus they won the 2016 asian series so I'd assume they will be the 12th team there.

On current form Spain and Brazil, the lowest two core teams on the ladder, although this talk of non-core teams being counted is what is confusing me.

In theory two teams should be relegated. But it seems, according to Yunque's tweets, the ruling refers to 11th and 12th teams in the final standings, which means in fact there is only one relegation spot.
REC 2018 never happened. Please respect my beliefs
Re: Women's World Sevens Series 2016-2017
So at least 1 core team will be relegated.

Why the h*** World Rugby cannot agree and publish the rules of their women's competitions before they start is beyond me. This really would NEVER happen with men's tournaments.
Re: Women's World Sevens Series 2016-2017
So i guess the qualifying tournament for the series will be in Hong Kong in April. All the best to the teams participating.

Can't see anyone beating South Africa, but who knows!?. Can't wait.
Re: Women's World Sevens Series 2016-2017
Japan, of course. Japan was a core team last season and South Africa wasn't. China and the Netherlands can't be forgotten too.

Ouch! Yes, group A looks harsh. Sadly I think the Dutch team has dropped in standard in the last year or so. They lost a lot of income when they failed to qualify for Rio and were relegated to a lower level on the National Olympic Committee priority list. As I understand it they are no longer 100% professional. I hope I am wrong. They played a friendly tournament in Japan recently and were soundly beaten by everyone, including a Japanese development team if I recall correctly. They are included as the non-core team in the Canada round of the World Series, so we'll see if there is more to be optimistic about.

Oh, cool!

Do you know who the 12th team will be in France? Will it be another European team? Wales, perhaps?

Re: Women's World Sevens Series 2016-2017
Well I thought it was Wales but looking at the teams playing in Hong Kong they are not even there. Anyone know why? Did they decline? http://www.scrumqueens.com/news/russia- ... n-7s-title This article says they finished 6th and were the best placed non-core team, better than Italy and Belgium. And even Spain. It's hard to find any information on it, there is nothing on the Rugby Europe site and Wikipedia has nothing. Can anyone help?
EDIT: All good, I should've read the article more carefully, it describes Wales as one of the Great Britain combined sides that competed that year, so I guess Wales wasn't eligible?

I accidently watched China vs Jamaica this morning on facebook. What a trashing 68:0 in 7s....
Which teams are qualified and how did they qualify for this Qualifier?

Look at the world ranking in July. Teams ranked 1-10 have to play one team from 11-20 (they don't play in a regular competition) away the next year. 11-20 play 21-30 away and so on. Yes, it really is that simple.

The Jamaicans seemed sometime have problems with basic rules like, where to stand in a line-out etc.

Re: Women's World Sevens Series 2016-2017
I think they qualified for this qualifier through their regional 7s, but it is not as simple as 2 per region. THis is understandable when you consider that Jamaica must have topped the N.American region. So there are 3 European teams and 3 Asian.
It was an intriguing first day. Japan was the only undefeated team. From my point of view it was good to see that Netherlands beat China 21-19. The other Europeans justified their places too by winning two matches each, Belgium beating one of the favourites, South Africa, along the way.

QFS
RSA v PNG
BEL v NED
ITA v KEN
JPN v CHN
Very disappointing for South American teams. Both Argentina and Colombia out. This shows how much the region needs to improve and why Brazil in women's rugby is like Argentina in men's rugby and none is getting close... that's not good for the continent in fact.
Good to see Italy as a real competitor, in spit of their loss to PNG.

Good stuff by Kenya. Go Kenya Go. I hope we make the semis.

Belgian press announced it as an invite base on results in last years WGPS. But both could be true.

Hag, might you be having the team lists for the Belgian team? The Belgian girls are playing some impressive rugby.
