How big is the chance for the German men to qualify at the final tournament?

While the progression of Germany's team has been good they will probably miss the tournament. Canada and Samoa will be the big favourites with the European teams, Hong Kong, Tonga and Zimbabwe providing good competition.

Thanks.

By the way, could you please post the link to your wonderful blog? I just clicked on the link in the old forum and didn't bookmark it.

The final Monaco men's tournament has started. Samoa just showed its great form nulling Tonga 26-00. It's really hard to see any other team qualifying to Rio here.

 

A bit of history too as I think it's the first time ever that Monaco hold an olympic qualification tournament.

Samoa lost to Ireland...

[JoshMartini007 2,559]

Ireland just defeated Samoa. It looks like the nation is finally taking sevens seriously.

Go go Ireland 

 

I wish both could qualify
