One hell of a final between Japan and Uruguay in Montevideo by the way  ...

0-0 at HT, 0-0 at FT, 0-0 at the end of the first ET, and eventually Japan snatching the win away from the locals after more than 25 minutes of play :yikes:

That's the results for only the Uruguay event, the eight teams to go to Hong Kong are

The postponement of the HK tournament will probably change the shape of this qualifier ...

Japan :JPN though didn't seem imperial, as one could have expected them to be, given their (unfair) extra World Series experience and their roster. The fact that the qualifier will now take place AFTER the Olympics could even strengthen the chances of their opponents, since their main target will be done by HK and considering how the Japanese program have been erratic these past four years ...

HK :HKG staying true to themselves, not very impressive but always in the last four, still lacking a tiny bit of something to get the win.

Germany :GER in the same vein : strong, physical, powerful, athletic ... you get it, not the most beautiful team but surely pragmatic ... well, German :) Could be the favorites this time.

Chile :CHI and Uruguay :URU my favorite sides, a fierce defense combined to a tonic attack, benefiting from their home support this time around.

Tonga :TGA close to the Samoan model, solid team but they have not yet performed as we could expect them to ...

And finally Uganda :UGA and Zimbabwe :ZIM, two athletic squads but much like PNG they lack some control over essential matters, especially Uganda which nearly lose all their line-outs ... crucial in this game.

Rugby World Cup star Kenki Fukuoka gives up on bid to make Olympic sevens team

 

Rugby World Cup star Kenki Fukuoka will give priority to pursuing a medical career and abandon his bid to play sevens at the Tokyo Olympic Games next summer, a source said Saturday.

 

The 27-year-old, who is studying to become a doctor, had planned to bid farewell competitive rugby after the Tokyo Olympics.

 

But the one-year postponement of the games due to the coronavirus pandemic has reportedly made it too difficult to balance his studies with his rugby commitments.

 

The Japan Rugby Football Union has confirmed Fukuoka's departure from the Olympic practice squad.

 

The speedy winger emerged as one of the stars of last year's World Cup on home soil, scoring four tries and playing an instrumental role in Japan's historic run to the quarterfinals.

 

He was named man of the match as the Brave Blossoms defeated Scotland 28-21 in their final pool match to ensure their first-ever berth in the knockout stage of the tournament.

 

Fukuoka played sevens at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, where Japan finished fourth.

At least in sevens it shouldn't be an issue, I sincerely hope.

In 7s you can easily restart by a tap off the ground.  But the problem for RU is that the game without scrums would basically be Rugby League....

    • But it seems to us that Norway wasn't as strong in Lillehammer 1994 as it was later? And not just in women's events. Generally, until 2000, Norway was much weaker in women's biathlon and women`s cross-country skiing. I remember in the 1990s, Italy's biggest rivals, Belmondo and di Centa, were Russia, when Norway somewhere further back and only in the classic style. Bente Martinsen- Skari, this is their first really strong girl in cross country, just about 2000, just like Liv Grete Skielbreid- Pioree in women`s biathlon at similar times.   Do you think, that is there any hope that thanks to the popularity of Haaland and football in general in Norway in recent years, winter sports such as biathlon or cross-country skiing will lose a little bit, becouse that?

    • This suggestion  @Dnl  made some months ago has also been implemented.   In each club, I have added a "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" record which takes the content from the Qualification by Nation tracker of that NOC.   People who see it can not edit the content, but it will be automatically updated once @Matej will update the record, and if you notice any mistake feel free to report it to Matej or in the record itself.   Club's admins can now edit the name of the section into their own language or change the spelling, I have used "Milano Cortina 2026 Qualification Tracker" for all the clubs. To do so, go inside the section, then click on "Manage Club"-"Edit this database Record" and change the name of the section:     By the way, if you are not a club's admin but you would like to edit things inside the club just let me know and I will give you the rights to do so. There can be more "admins" inside the club with the rights to edit and organize the sections, and that's not a role that require time or commitment.   Let's try to make all the clubs active during MiCo and when the LA28 qualifications will start!
