I liked this interview from a NZ rugby 'sevens' player after their match with Russia. I read they went on to win the gold. On a side note, two of my sons played rugby in high school. I went to maybe ten games and never understood what the heck was going on.

amending my own rep: My Sis gifted me this jade necklace which I promptly lost thereafter. I may have to journey down to the Oceanic region for a visit someday to grab another. Something neat about Pacific Islanders. Also, my Sis passes as a one kinda.

Still behind Germany in the medal table... but ahead of France, the Netherlands, Italy (and the rest of Europe).

Not many days left...
