If you have £5 spare, the argies are worth a bet. Japan scalping ze Swartz just shows how unpredictable 7's is!
The UK team (or at least the one interviewed after the match) think it's just a laugh. A bit of fun. They daren't take it too seriously for fear of someone taking the pee out of their serious Rugby credentials. Sad.
How many times can those arsehole Woodward describe teams like Fiji as world class...he did it yesterday with the black ferns. These are top 2 teams in the world, surprisingly they are world class.
GB have a fair disadvantage over other teams...they only have a few months to integrate other players in to one team, no one else has this issue.
Actually they've had 4 years, but I understand what you're saying. The women had a token welsh person in the squad I noticed, looks like the men have a token Scot?
It's not 4 years....the home nations play the World Series individually up until end of last year, then England (who fund more players) split into two teams and they have various home nation players in each....they have to qualify for the olumpics this way. The women's team were only chosen July 19th, they had since then to fully prep. It's not the whole excuse, but is significant.
Bet you secretly prefer Titty, Pippa and Farquar-Knob-Johnson's equestrian endeavours now you've moved darn sarf and gone soft.
Kind of, aus are on a different planet good in the women's 7's game, so it one less gear on your pushbike when they still have a Ferrari.
The answer to England sport team games problems always looks like people at the top with their heads up their arses protecting their empires need culling.
