So 2 of the 4 quarter finals are done and dusted. 

 

Doesn't look like Ireland were much trouble for Australia with the Aussies running out 17-7 winners.

 

Fiji were able to pull it back in the second half of their QF against USA but came up short to finish 17-22.

 

Ireland and Fiji will play each other tomorrow in the first of the 5th place semi finals.

 

Now we have to wait a couple of hours for GBR against France. If GBR can pull off a win, they will favourite to take the final Olympic quota.

It’s weird but I am actually hoping GB can win it because it will make Ireland’s route for the Olympics much easier. Of course if they lose Ireland has a chance of the automatic qualification spot here but if they lose out to Fiji it means the route to the Olympics are harder.

Pretty much, Fiji getting the spot doesn't take anything directly away for Great Britain/Ireland.

 

The hard part will be actually qualifying to the final qualifier. Poor bracket placement at the European Games could see one of the nations eliminated early or Spain could pull off the upset.

Great news for :IRL 

Womens rugby in Ireland has been under a bit of a microscope recently with the 15s team having their worst ever year and players openly talking about lack of resources. So this qualification was badly needed. 
 

Surprised to see :JPN beat :GBR in the other game but it probably still means :GBR (in euro games) and :FIJ (in Oceania) will qualify meaning the top

sides will all go to Paris without the last qualifier

Yup, there's a good chance the roster for the Olympics will be the current core teams plus South Africa who is going to be promoted next season. Maybe China or a different European team might pull off an upset. I don't have a lot of faith in Brazil, but they should still get the South American quota, but maybe Colombia has the game of their lives.

    • People keep keep saying that Trump is Hitler reincarnated, but all these Day 1 proposals are sensible & unifying.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=08IIenrXCRQ     NB video is a parody.  
    • In cross-country there were never mixups like that. And trust me, the cross-country calendar/results page has been one of my most visited pages on all the internet for a few years now, for obvious reasons

    • More AI visualizations of the venues.         
    • I can count for you, but what I will say is that I don't think it was a lot. 
    • Off-topic, when I lived in Beijing there was a park across the street that had all the 2022 pictograms along its fence on the street. They were big and lit up at night. It was really cool, especially because the 2022 pictograms were very unique and creative. 
    • They're not very creative or unique to Italy/Milano, but like others have said, at least they're understandable unlike Paris. These are very generic, though. 
    • National law and sport rules are completely different. Like, there's a law in Canada that if you punch someone in the face you will get charged with battery. But if you're playing hockey and do it, you'll only get 5 minutes in a penalty box. Japan only recognizes gender at birth and this was not an issue in 2020(1).    Any law Trump and the Republicans pass can only apply to governmental organizations, i.e. school competitions. Private sport events, like the NHL, MLB and the Olympics, can still decided who can and cannot participate in what events. If the NHL wants a female goaltender to play, they can do that tomorrow if they want. If the IOC decides Semenya can participate in the female category, then that's their right as a private entity. I'm sure Hitler wasn't happy that Jews, black people and other groups were allowed to participate in 1936, either.    Of course, I've been saying for a long time they should do away with "male" and "female" categories and just have "Over/Under X amount of testosterone" categories. 
    • Yeah, if they have all their FTA* live streams on one page, announced in advance, life will be easier. Before you had to sub to about 7 or 8 YT channels to.know what was on every week.   But the results/events Page is also easier, because previously they used to mix up World Cup & say, Balkan Cup events together.
    • UWW's new rules for change of nationality   this doesn't look great for likes of Bahrain, Albania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Serbia and few more.    still it won't make a huge huge impact for the next Olympic cycle because each NOC still can use 2 mercenaries per style in each tournament but after 2028 it will be reduced to just 1.    some of those countries already have 3 or 4 (or more) Russian mercenaries per style. from now on they have to pick 2 of them for each tournament. I assumed the new rule applies to previous mercenaries too . https://cdn.uww.org/2024-11/change_of_nationality_regulation_eng_oct2024_final.pdf also you can't wrestle for another country without a passport. (UWW allowed that for some years) current non-national wrestlers can continue like that until the end of 2026 though.   it could be better but in general I'm OK with new rules. good job by UWW.
