[QUOTE="Beerfalo, post: 695061, member: 71326"] Sadly Harry Jones isn't going to be heading to Dubai or South Africa because of injury it seems. It's a shame because he really is a good 7s player. Pat Kay is taking his spot during the tour. Jones and Hirayama are hurt, Hearn and Dala are resting after November and Braid is in Europe, Canada 7s is going to really need guys to step up big. Also with Barkwill being suspended for 9 weeks does it even really affect him? It's not like he was ever going to get a pro contract. He plays in BC during the winter I thought and they are now on a two month winter break because why play in the beauty of summer like the rest of Canada.... By the time they start up again it'll be around 9 weeks. Speaking of Canadian front row, does anyone know if Buydens or Marshall attracted any attention in Europe? Both are talented enough to be starters over there and it would be a shame for the two of them to have to return to the CDI league. I still can't believe Doncaster wasn't allowed to sign Buydens back in the summer because of the stupid overseas foreigner rule.
