World Cup 7's Draw Released

The draw for the 2009 Rugby World Cup 7's has been released.  Kenya find themselves in a favorable pool with England, Hong Kong and Tunisia.  On paper that looks like a fairly simple pool, however, we need to remember this is a World Cup Competition.  People do amazing things during a World Cup and we must be able to do the same.  I would just like to implore on the Union and the Team management that we must do something different to prepare for the tournament.  Normal preparations won't wash here and we must go the extra mile to be our best.  For instance, prior to the last 7's World Cup, Tunisia spent three months in Fiji, just preparing.  I don't know what they have done this time.  England for sure will be at their best and won't fall as easily to us as before.  As for Hong Kong, I don't think any of their players are indigenious locals.  All are expatriates and hence be ready for some mercenaries in the side.. from Australia, New Zealand and even England.

We wish the boys well.

As a recap, one of DM's favorite topics, 7's vs 15's.  You can review this post and another one I found.  Then see the comments of Stuart Barnes on the same.
