Top teams on 7s series dealing with different situations

Top teams on 7s series dealing with different situations

With only two tournaments left before the Rio Olympics, some of the top teams find themselves having to deal with different situations.

The Vodafone Fiji 7s team, New Zealand, South Africa and Australia have been struggling with injuries to their key players.

The latest withdrawal of Ardie Savea has forced Sir Gordon Tietjens to keep the Olympics selections still open for other 15s stars in the Super Rugby competition.

The unavailability of Quade Cooper in the Australian squad was also a huge loss for Andy Friend and his players.

For Fiji, the plan looks promising for the players as Savenaca Rawaca the only key player being rested before the Olympics.

The Vodafone Fiji 7s team has won three of the eight tournaments in this series so far and Ryan is aiming to finish on a high note.

The teams that make up the top half of the current standings are Fiji, South Africa, New Zealand, Australia and the USA.

Meanwhile Fiji is pooled with Scotland, Wales and Samoa for the Paris 7s.

Fiji will take on Scotland in the first pool match of the Paris 7s at 5.44am this Saturday.

We take on Wales at 9.14pm Saturday and our last pool match is against Samoa at 12.47am Sunday.

The Paris 7s Cup quarters will start at 9.13pm Sunday, the Cup semis will start at 1.03am next Monday while the Cup Final will kick off at 4.15am next Monday.
