Quite strange, if not unfair, format with no groups and a round of 16 with the seven winners and the best loser going through to the quarter-finals 

WTF is a best loser in an elimination phase ?

The one with the smallest losing margin?

 

I know, that's complete bullshit, but the only one I can think of.

Yeah i reckon this is the case, but I just can't get it 

That is so fu***** stupid, why not qualify 12 of 16 teams ? Even making two groups of 4 and two groups of 3  ?

Because it's Sevens so you need seven winners

Not sure it's only a direct elimination phase from the link above. It looks like

playoffs, then 2 pools of 4, then semifinals.

Madagascar offered a great resistance but Kenya were too strong ...

Hope they can make it to the repechage tournament
