[QUOTE="LittleGuy, post: 658014, member: 44360"] The 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow (Ibrox Stadium) fires up in a couple of weeks and one of the signature events of the games is the 7's tournament. The format for the tournament will be identical to that of a regular IRB 7's circuit event, though obviously with only commonwealth countries. That dosen't meen the tournament lacks quality however as 9 of the IRB core teams are present(Fiji could have been but are suspended from the commonwealth. The opening day might have a bit of an anticlimactic feel as all pools aside from Pool A the two top teams will be heavily favoured and the action will be more about seeding for the final day. A game of interest will be the hosts Scotland versus Canada, with the winner likely advancing to the medal rounds while the loser enters the consolation side of the picture. Here are the pools..... [B]Pool A[/B] New Zealand Canada Scotland Barbados [B]Pool B[/B] South Africa Kenya Cook Islands Trinidad and Tobago [B]Pool C[/B] Samoa Wales Papua New Guinea Malaysia [B]Pool D[/B] England Australia Sri Lanka Uganda [/QUOTE]
