You do have a sense of humour - the only thing the AB Sevens will want to avoid aat all costs is an encounter with the Blizbokke.
I am sure the AB Sevens will improve with the new players they got - but they may lose and that would be a psychological set back,
It may not happen soon because in the next sevens game they would not meet them in the quarters as SA will be in Pool A and New Zealand in Pool C. Pool A in the quarter - final will contest against Pool D teams. Such a meeting will only be possible in the semis or final.
The team that showed drastic improvement this tournament was Russia and I would like to see how they progress in future.
By the way the Commonwealth Games will follow the lead of the Olympic Games and cater for Sevens and not other tournaments. There is no Nine tournament in most countries and that means they willhave to change the situation.

...not so clevermike it could be all downhill for the Blitzbokke from now on with try scoring machine Senatla leaving to play Super18 for the Stormers...
...while NZ has gone from sixth to fourth in the space of only one tournament...looking good the NZ Sevens team from what i saw on the weekend ..some new blood gelling nicely..
...btw the Nines will be an exhibition sport at next years Commonweath Games on the Gold Coast...the Nines is here to stay so SA should get on board before all the rest of Africa leave you behind... like they the did with Afcon this year...
