Womens 7's rugby - general news

[Armchair Fan Profile]

Colombia has been training in Spain for the past few days, if I'm not mistaken they played both against Spain and Castilla La Mancha sides.

[rugbyslave Profile]

there will be an international 7s tournament in Bonn, organized by BTHV, who only have a youth setup until now. I think an extremely dedicated Argentinian runs the club.

I cannot see anyone beating Belgium in this competition, watched them in Hong Kong they are probably the most well coached team at the Hong Kong 7's, they are extremely good at support play, China were just too strong in Hong Kong and used straight running to get through Belgium. There will be two referees from Hong Kong 7's at the this tournament as well, should be a good games.

Videos of the games will be available for the referees on site. Whether they will be uploaded to a public accessible channel after the tournament I do not know.

Reminder ( was posted on previous page )

[johnbirch Profile]

With the help of the brilliant data mcruic has published on his site, plus all the pre-2010 data I am others put onto Wikipedia a few years ago. I've put together a sevens equivalent of the test match spreadsheet I put on here a year or so ago.

See https://1drv.ms/x/s!Aj-VCZQXZXblkIsZDRHkQnQMejZXxw

I've removed all matches involving invitation or "A" or age groups teams etc - with the exception of the two unofficial New Zealand teams that used to go to the HK Sevens, and the GB "B" team from the pre-Olympic Euros. To be honest I am not sure whether they should stay in...

The aim was - as with the test list - to be able to quickly come up with complete data on head-to-heads and the like that are not limited to just one tournament, as well as answering questions like what the biggest wins have been, etc. etc.

Comments appreciated - like should the unofficial NZ Hk7s team being included, and if so separately or combined with the "official" Ferns?

What it does show a remarkable 133 national teams have played sevens (plus three more after tomorrow).

Superb enormous work, Johnbirch! And thanks Grande too

I'm already extracting the Italy's matches

[Canalina Profile]

I don't know if there was a quicker way (I'm not an excel expert) but I extracted piece by piece the Italy's head-to-head records
Numbers indicate matches played and wins-losses. Italy never played with USA, Canada, Australia, Fiji...

[johnbirch Profile]

I don't know if there was a quicker way (I'm not an excel expert)

I'm sure there is a way of doing head to heads... I'll think about it.
