Looks like France is out as a core team for next season. I'm surprised that they didn't pull a Scotland and bring in some bigger guns in order to lock down some points in London and/or Edinburgh.
Congrats to Samoa on a fine season.
I love Sevens though, it's sorta like Twenty20 cricket, good for a quick cold one with the missus without bloody explaining every single whistle blown.
Great to see Samoa winning the circuit becomes boring when New Zealand and Fiji winning it all the time. Wonder whos turn it'll be next year??
I think we're going to see alot more parity in the coming years on the 7's circuit, especially as the Olympics inch closer and closer. Repeat championships on the IRB Series are going to become more and more rare. Which is a great thing for the game and something that 15's wished they had right now.
If Samoa can keep their squad together, then they have to be favorites going into next season. They were amazing this season. I expect a bigger push from Australia this season and you can never discount the likes of England, New Zealand, South Africa, and Fiji. Argentina is always dangerous and capable of challenging the Top 4. I also won't be surprised to see teams like Kenya, USA, or Wales break into the Top 5-6 in the next few years. There are also a handful of teams that are going to push for core status in the coming years such as Russia, Portugal, Tunisia, and Japan.
Teams like France and Scotland will remain wildcards as no one knows if they are on their way out in the world of 7's or if they will reapply themselves and mount a comeback. France looks to be out as a core team for 2010/2011 with Canada taking their place. Scotland loaded up their internationals at the last two tournament for second straight year to get enough points to stay a core team. If they keep up that strategy, they'll be out as a core member within a couple of years.
With so many teams raising the bar, I'd like to see a couple more stops added to the IRB Series to give some of the up and coming teams more opportunities to get points.
I agree with you theo...the sevens is more closer and probably slightly more unpredictable then the 15s world cup.

That's not surprising if you know French Rugby. Seven here is either a training exercise or a game played on the beaches in summer, nothing more. We'll see what the FFR manages to organise for the Olympics.Originally Posted by theo

Yaaass, we are tied with Samoa!
Yeah Saw the Canadian win over Samoa good stuff, Kenya isn't doing very well, three teams thats have only played in oen event are higher than them.
OT, i watched the Canada v Pommies, women games, and enjoyed the game. i was surprised at the speed and skill.
I watched that last night as well, great stuff. The 7's game for the women is growing rapidly as the commentators said what a great advertisment for the sport, some lovely chip kick tries by the Canadian team.
