It was good to see the national 7s side on fire in the opening day of the tournament in France. That was a good one against Kenya. The Drua hit a brickwall against the Crusaders but I’m looking forward to the game against the Chiefs at Churchill Park in Lautoka next weekend.
I’m sure any big one right here, at home, and considering the support base, should be a cracker. So looking forward to that Drua game! The hype’s building up. You can sense excitement in the air!

NEW ZEALAND top men’s sprint stars Eddie Osei-Nketia and Tiaan Whelpton are both exceedingly quick over 100 metres — just not swift enough to get themselves on to the team for the Birmingham Commonwealth Games.
