I read WP were interested in signing Collins Injera the Kenyan 7s star (mentioned earlier in this thread)

#158 lightie: Agree. I think Obama could become a great President, but all the praise can not be good. We all know it only takes 1 "madman"! Not just from the middle east, but within US as well.

#156 nama1: Slightly premature for someone who so far hasn't achieved anything he set out to do. Really it's just gonna give the right wing ammunition.

Olympic Football is limited to a squad of under 23′s and about 3 over that age I think. I don’t really think there is a need for something like that at 7′s.

#144 skopskiet: that's a more optimistic conclusion on the face of it, only problem is in that scenario is that we won't be aware that it's 'us', that is, the previous 'us' limited by physical senses.

cabs gone jolling to Mont Martre or or Champs Ellyses or Moulin Rouge or some such happy spinning venue of human co habitation. Paris the place where the beautiful people show just how beautiful they can be, specially the fairer ***. Gotta make hay while the sun shines cos sooner or later could be night time again.

Yes David except I reckon its much grander than that, ‘who’ will be conscious of that super conscious state of cosmic awareness will still be ‘us’ except not limited by this finite sensual state of insular imperception. The ‘big picture’ is visible but not with the apparati of physical senses.

#139 David: it's interesting you take that view as this is what I was discussing with sodajoe. Ollie Phillips is said to be the best 7s player in the world in 2009 but I still think the likes of Matthew Tait would be easily better despite not playing it often. The level of natural talent is so much higher, Ollie Phillips couldn't hold down a place on the wing at Falcons.

#139 David: Dave – I ahven’t watched a lot of 7′s, certainly not recently. But watched HK 7′s and truthfully – the specialist dealio is a red herring to me.

3 “forwards”
4 backs.

Spies, Kankowski, Brussow at hooker.

Adams, Ludik, Habana, Mentz,

I doubt the current national team would beat this team. But who knows, conjecture at best, because it’s never been tested.

Scheduling however is another matter.
