2012 and beyond for Samoa Sevens
The Samoa Sevens team have had a good season 2011/12 and they sit on 101 points as we go to press just 27 points behind New Zealand with two legs to go. There is no doubt they will be in the mix come the last weekend at Twickenham over the weekend of 12/13 May. We feel however that the points difference will be to much of a mountain to climb and they will finish the season probably in 4th. Samoa will always compete with their power players and hopefully an injection of cash and the lure of the 2016 Olympics will spur them on to continue the resurgence over the coming seasons. Expect them to medal in 2016.
