    Was much the same from I think it was Fiji last year in fairness id imaging those two and South Africa will be untouchable even on an offday until a team becomes seasoned

    When you hear the rough number players were told they'd get a year ago if they qualified for the series and the number they're now being told they'll get, I'd be striking anyway.
    How much were they expecting to get?

    Well they're currently on a low end development contract and were expecting to basically move up a bracket to the equivalent of a basic provincial contract which is basically double it.
    Which when you consider the IRFU pay for absolutely nothing accommodation or travel wise for the world series events, and training is all in the NSC now so all the sponsorship money, prize money and funding just goes on kit and wages really it's not an unreasonable amount to expect considering the money they'll generate.
    Not allowing the players to get their own sponsorship is ridiculous too, a really poor way to run an organisation.

    Couldn't ask for better actually. It's the experience playing the best that will serve them well.

    Wales just went to kick the ball out at the hooter.... Kicked it backwards 20 meters but didn't find touch... And they regathered to score.

    Crazy

    If we lose by less than 20 points to Fiji I'll be happy

    Some second half from France just now. 14 down at half time and come back to win with a penalty try in extra time.

    There's always a bit of run-over. Sevens can get 20-30 minutes behind by the end of the day.

    Nice try by Canada there. I don't know why they don't kick more often in 7s. There's never any backfield cover.
