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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

De_Gambassi 896 Posted June 18, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) http://www.worldrugby.org/live-blog/128 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.
