New Zealand has grabbed the first Olympic quota on the men's side and can win the overall title as early as next tournament. South Africa drops out of an Olympic qualifying spot, but is still in contention against Australia and Samoa. While not officially eliminated, the United States and Ireland are pretty much done. Great Britain continues to improve after a slow start to the season. Uruguay swaps with Spain for a permanent spot. The top 11 after the next event will remain permanent members while 12-14th plus the challenge series winner will battle it out for the final spot in London.

If things remain this way, one would expect Samoa, Uruguay, S Africa,USA and Japan to get Continental quotas. GB and Ireland to battle for European quota with loser strong favourites to get last spot at the FQT next year.

Pretty much, but if South Africa finishes in the top 4 then we are likely going to miss a top team while Kenya qualifies.

:UGA might be able to pull a surprise if they can find the form that had at the Commonwealth Games last year.

Kenya has had more than their fair share of free quotas. Hopefully SA will stay out this time...


As for the women's event, :MAD Madagascar can most certainly defeat Kenya to grab the reallocated quota from SA.

Why would South Africa take the african quota in the men's competition but skip the women's?

They've passed on the women's event each time.

 

And the men's team is just too competitive to reject an Olympic spot, wherever it may come from.

Yes, but "finish top 4 of world series" is an objective criteria, being "too competitive" isn't.  

Where's that competitiveness line drawn exactly? 6th in the world? 8th? 10th? 12th? 

  

Their women's team would have legitimate reasons to complain if the decision to take one continental quota but not the other is purely discretional. 

 

I'd guess there is an established secondary criteria but so far no official word about it (unless I missed something?). Men's team failing to secure a world series quota is a first time after all.

I concur. Went to watch the opening rugby sevens session at the Commonwealth games and they looked really good, should've beaten Kenya in their opener and went on to draw with Australia in the evening.

Japan is far from being qualified also. Last qualifier they took part in (for the World Cup), they did not even manage to make top 2. 

Malaysia and Sri Lanka both have decent teams. Would not be surprised if either of them qualified ahead of them.

    • I think the reason is that it's generally preferable to have a fast shooter in the 1st leg, and especially in the prone shooting, where Hofer is quite slow.   Now, I'm not saying I agree with the choice, because I don't. I think it's going to neutralize Giacomel's skiing skills in the 1st lap at least.   I guess the idea is to try and set a very fast pace in the 1st leg, which is usually quite tactical, but I'm afraid that's going to force Giacomel to risk too much because he will feel he has to make some time somehow.   Regardless, Italy must be on the podium tomorrow. I think that would be crucial for the following races as well. I think France is the clear favorite, but the other teams are not stronger than Italy on paper.
