I don't think Bristol are taking it seriously, the senior squad are all training in Portugal.

Would be surprised if anyone other than wasps take this seriously.

[Raggs]

Some clubs sometimes send out a lot of ringers. Wasps seem to use it as part of the conditioning program and to get an early hit out. Suspect we'll do the same this year.

[Which Tyler]

I miss the Middlesex 7s

[Raggs]

Wasps sending out the youngster this year apparently, using it as development.

[Epaminondas Pules]

Is it on the old gogglebox?

[Adam_P]

I expect Saints to be academy plus Tom Collins and Alex Mitchell.

[Tigersman]

Tigers to actually play some Tigers players!

[Which Tyler]

I expect Bath to borrow some students from the uni, and some of Rokos army mates; maybe including McConnochie from the actual squad for some leadership

Looking forward to seeing Radwan, Odogwu and Cordero based on players I've seen before. Anyone else know anyone to look out for on their teams?

Capsticks pretty decent, Wright is rated very highly just had a horror run on injuries and Barry Karea is a wrecking ball and a bloody nice kid with it as well.

There's loads of age grade players who will be worth checking out. A few current England U18's plus last years, along with some graduates of the age group system.

Jack Reeves (Glos), Tom deGlanville (Bath), Kieran Wilkinson (Sale), Cameron Nordli-Kelemeti (Newc), Henri Lavin (Tigers), Harry Barlow (Quins), Richard Capstick (Exe) and Manu Vunipola (Saracens) are well thought of.

[Tigersman]

7's at this level is pretty boring.

[twitchy]

7's at this level is pretty boring.

It needs that touch of PI/NZ/Aus flair to make it interesting.
