IRB Sevens Las Vegas Wrap

A good summary from the IRB Website. In all a much better performance from us. An improved use of the bench helped us to achieve this. We still remain in sixth position with 44 points, two behind a much improved Australia side and eight above defending champions South Africa. Our defense is greatly improved, however we seem to have lost some spark in our attack. We seem too predictable and teams are quick to shut us down. A change of tack is clearly needed in this aspect.

Looking at the Australian performance, their impeccable and impressive handling got them out of lots of trouble and put them in favorable positions and that is something we should emulate.

Next stop Adelaide.

Seems the Wallabies are taking sevens seriously since it was made an olympics sport.

I see them winning the Adelaide tournament and by 2012 when we lose Lavin, Onyango, Opong, Tall etc to age we will be nowhere close to them and other teams that are now developing players with 2016 at the back of their minds.

Its not only the Wallabies who are developing fresh talent, the likes of England and Canada as well. I have spoken to a couple of the Kenya sevens team members and they say that there are new and exciting players waiting in the wings. I think its time they were unleashed possibly towards the end of the IRB series in UK legs this year.
