At Oceania7s, Samoa lead 12-0 at half-time but Australia make big comeback and win 19-12 to qualify for Tokyo.

 

So the main rival for Ireland and France is Samoa for the last chance qualification tournament.

Samoa is a threat but indiscipline here at Oceania7s (yellow turned into red) cost them the qualification.

 

As for Ireland, rarely seen them on the world circuit so unknown..

 

Need our 2 Fidjiens present for better chance.

France is the favourite, but the French team seems to be very uneven from one tournament to another.

 

Honestly any of France, Ireland or Samoa could win an Olympic medal on a good week.

France have leveled up last year with great results but the opposition will be fierce

Ireland is coming in strongly, their few appearances on the World stage have been quite convincing and they'll have a full year of international experience arriving to the repechages

Samoa solid as always

Important will be the seedings, with only 12 teams 

[SalamAkhi 323]

Kenya is the 10th team qualified
