@ellymelly Hoping to set the tone for what would follow, abolish the ACT (it goes back to NSW & I’d incentivise NSW to move it’s capital to Canberra) and relocate our capital to Alice Springs in the other territory.

You are in power. You get one Executive Order. What are you doing...

Minimal stoppages Minimal TMO Great Game of Rugby ✅

@RugbyReg @StanSportRugby So pumped to be able to give the 7s the coverage it deserves and tell the players’ stories…

Rivals on the field, friends off it? The hilarious @rubytui interviews the Sevens POTY @CharlieCaslick #HSBC7s | #Singapore7s

No training camps in Scotland for you @timwalsh7s 🤣

Can't help but think Levi's effort deserved a 50/50 her way here. Ref better positioned than the camera, but looks like Levi releases & if anything, Nathan deserves the penalty - NZ not releasing. Cracking game, well ref'd & if it was a 50/50, @au7 will be glad one's used up now.

@Hugh_96 Pretty sure I’ve heard CC say the same thing (without the ‘almost’) & that ALF scares the **** out of the opposition. World Rugby’s highlight reel of ML 4 tries V Spain could have easily been an ALF appreciation post. If CC & MA can keep her in the game, they’ll be hard to beat.

Have to say ALF is the tight 5 of the #aussie7s women’s team, provides the platform. She is almost the most important player. #vancouver7s

I’ve been known to be critical of a high tackle or two, but Caslick getting yellow carded for this isn’t punishment driving behaviour change. Focus on technique for mine & her technique could not be much better here. Gone low with arms in a wrapping motion, super rough card

@nrlphysio @WorldRugby @Aussie7s 2/2 I think the law application would be action of ball carrier mitigates red to yellow, @CharlieCaslick technique mitigates yellow to penalty. Still rough for a tackler doing everything right. Actions of ball carrier, for me, are akin to a ball carrier ‘hurdling’ a tackler.

@nrlphysio I’ve read that @WorldRugby reviewed the decision & have issued apology to @Aussie7s management for the referee’s error & revoked the yellow card. Not sure what that means & little consolation now. 1/2

@balumbah @Hugh_96 Our girls rely on the chop tackle & agility of the likes of Caslick, Ashby & Levi winning turnovers. Probably unlucky not to get a couple of calls in the 2nd half, but it was a pretty impressive defensive effort. I'd always start with Paki, abrasive, got aerial skills & is agile.

@Hugh_96 Agree but it’s not the first time we have played them - our agility over the brawn has rewarded both Australia and NZ in the past well.

Have to say I’m not surprised by the USA win over the @aussie7s women. They are very athletic & physical. Surprised we didn’t start with Williams, Terita, Paki or Dick. Different starting team this tournament. #NZ7s

@LeapingFences At least nearly everyone calls rugby, rugby. Rugby league gets called NRL & Australian rules gets called AFL.

Find it interesting people still call Rugby AU the ARU. Rebranding took place in October 2017.

@LadiesWhoLeague @WallaroosRugby @RugbyAU has had a full time professional program since 2014, so they are the leader in this space & certainly remain well ahead of the part-timers in AFL & RL. NZ made a very similar appointment ahead of the World Cup & it turned out okay for them.

In all the hoo-ha about Eddie Jones as new Wallabies coach, I missed that he'll also 'oversee' the @WallaroosRugby program. A really strange decision for mine and would be keen to see his experience coaching women esp given how far behind rugby is women's sport comparatively.

Allianz Stadium will light up when the best rugby sevens players return for the Sydney 7s later this month. Charlotte Caslick will be one of the star attractions, and has revealed the NRL team that’s inspiring Australia's campaign. @ZacBailey14 #9News

@HerwayMagazine @Aussie7s girls semi-final win at Comm Games in Coventry. Faith Nathan’s spot tackle to shut down the NZ centre & then Maddi Ashby, @sharni2388 @CharlieCaslick flooding the breakdown in overtime was special. Goosebump stuff.

What’s been your favourite moment of Women’s sport you’ve experienced live this year?

Congratulations to the Aussie Women's team, who have been recognised as @theAIS 2022 Team of the Year at tonight's ASPAs!

@Hugh_96 @timwalsh7s @Aussie7s @theAIS Won team of the year

For the greater good, had to do a bit of Aussie 7s 🏉wrap to end 2022, it was a pretty special last 12 months. Also fingers crossed 🤞& good luck to @timwalsh7s and the @aussie7s women at the @theAIS Awards 🏅tonight. theroar.com.au/2022/12/15/the…

@Hugh_96 @BigSportsBrekky Pretty hilarious. A 9s challenge was pitched some time back & ARL wouldn't have a bar of it. Saw too much risk in running part-timers against professionals. 7s girls have to be ahead of cricket based on international playing base, if that is part of the selection criteria.

Just had a chuckle, Buzz Rothfield on @BigSportsBrekky named the Jillaroos as the female team of the year for winning their World Cup. With all due respect he must not watch much non-League sports eg women’s Oz cricket team & woman’s rugby 7s to name a couple.
