Well, after 99 matches in the
World Sevens to date, plus over 20 Warm-Up matches the World Sevens reaches
its final, and 100th match. This is day 20 of the competition. Only two
teams remain to fight for the World Sevens Cup and the $NM 2,500 prize
money. Can the Treesian Knights take the Cup or will the Farren Eayst
Rangers put there nation on the map? The Grand Final is only Two days away.
Lets take a Head-to-Head look at the two teams:
Fullback (1) Ryan Caruso v George Karniski Ryan has more attacking flair than Geroge but George is in better form as
of late. Both players have scored one try this World Sevens. Tony Au & Eoin Dornan v Hans Muller & Derek Corbin Eoin is the Knights dangerman, there is no better attacking player in the game toady. Hans Muller is about half as good as Eoin and still rates as one of the most dangerous players on the park. Tony and Derek are both above average attacking players in there own right. Eoin has kicked 41 goals from 70 attempts. Halfback (4) Greg Nordman v Erich Schwartz Erich is one of the Rangers good attackers, Greg however has scored a massive four tries this World Sevens and is in top form at the moment. Forwards (5,6,7) Iain Jacobson (C), Scott Siskind & Philip Uecker v Travis LaBuae, Julian DeCarlo & Alex Czarkoff (C) Scott Sisking and Alex Czarkoff are the two dangermen in the forward packs. Julian DeCarlo is the Rangers goalkicker and has kicked 40 goals from 62 attempts, a better % than the Knights Eoin Dornan. |

| Heres what we said about this team before the World Sevens Started: "Treesia is one of five teams hailing from the United Baronies. Rugby League is on the up in Treesia with the completion of the massive Stadium Treesia, Rugby Leagues premier venue outside of New Macadam and Amerada." | Heres what we said about this team before
the World Sevens Started: "The real unknowns in the World Sevens, could
the Rangers be the Black Horses? Farran Eayst is also a newcomer to the
intermicronational scene and best wishes to this country." |

The World Sevens Bowl Final
Tallandor Toreadors v Most Serene Empire of the Cumquat
The Most Serene Empire started this season terribly, with Six losses in a row. Since then however they have won enough to qualify for the Bowl and then make it to the SemiFinals. They defeated Tallandor only a few days ago 10-8 in the only ever encounter between the two teams. The Toreadors on the other hand have had a patchy World Sevens and have never been able to string together a long series of wins. In fact they have pretty much gone win-lose-win-lose right throughout this Competition. Tommy Cornell and Bryan Keith Holland will both need to be contained by the Toreadors if they are to win this match. While the Most Serene Empire of the Cumquat will have to watch the Toreadors dangermen, Diamond Dallas Page and Jonathan Coachman.
The World Sevens Plate Final
Califario Bears v Nova Pacaria Pirates
Just last year these Two teams were lining up for the biggest match of there lives. The World Sevens Cup Grand Final. This time around, however, both sides have only made the Plate Final. The Califario Bears defeated the Nova Pacaria Pirates 13-5 to win the First World Sevens and the prize money that goes with it. These two teams met once in a pre-season match, the Pirates winning 11-8. In the Super Six Nova Pacaria beat the Bears 12-10. Both teams take most of there players out of the Califario Regional League so they are all used to playing each other regularly. These two teams have a great history. They have played each other on three occasions and the Pirates lead 2-1, however the Bears have won the big money match before, The Pirates will want to win this match to finally get that monkey of there back. Last Years World Sevens Plate winner was Pacary. Califario's star players are Ryan Girdler (Bosbec City) and Paul Harrigan (New Onto Central) while Nova Pacaria will be relying on Fabiane Devecchi (Bosbec United) and Jeff Hardy (No Club) to lead them to victory.
