Aussie Sevens side need to lift game

In order to taste the success in the third round of the Rugby Sevens World Series in Wellington, Australia need to improve their games,coach Michael O’Connor says.

"We came out of the blocks a little bit slowly,” coach Michael O’Connor told AAP after training in New Zealand’s capital on Wednesday.

“The team’s really evolving at the moment.”

In the opening two rounds of the tournament in Dubai and South African,they both finished at number seventh and sixth.

“Players we’ve bought in for this Wellington leg, we’ve now got nearly half the squad that have played here in Wellington before, so that experience factor I think is going to be very important,” O’Connor said.

Australian captain Bernard Foley is confident the return of fellow London Sevens-winning teammates Jacob Taylor and Henry Vanderglas plus the inclusion of key figure Brian Sefanaian is very crucial and their side confidence will boost because of their inclusion.

Australia is currently ranked sixth on the World Series ladder.

England coach: I don't like losing to NZ

After a fifth consecutive loss to New Zealand on the IRB world sevens series, England were left fuming and frustrated.After seeing his side's 29-14 loss in the final of the NZI Wellington sevens coach Ben Ryan didn't even try to hide his feelings.

"I don't like losing to them. We've just lost to them four or five times in a row now and occasionally – big respect for New Zealand – they deserved to win that game. Sometimes you can be a sore loser because we want to win the title, we don't want to come second."

England against Kiwi counterpart Gordon Tietjens in each of their past five meetings, including last year's Commonwealth Games semifinal in New Delhi.

Ryan on other hand believes that our side is more stronger than Kiwis and we have a great chance to win the world series title for the first time.

"We're still the leaders because we've been in more finals, so we'll hang on to that as long as we can. There's nothing about being joint leaders," Ryan said.

"The momentum will be with New Zealand in Las Vegas, where they will want to back it up, but there are four or five sides, including us, lining up to have a crack at them."

Games Star For Seven

AUSSIE Thunderbolts will be one of the big name teams looking to impress at the prestigious Hyperion Gold Coast International Sevens tournament at Albert Park today.

Among their squad are three members of the national Commonwealth Games silver medal side who are in the selection mix as coach Michael O’Connor mounts his campaign to improve Australia’s rising status in the new Olympic sport.

Contracted players Bernard and Shaun Foley have been training with the squad in Canberra this week under the watchful eye O’Connor, while Ed Jenkins, a distinguished performer in the green and gold, is also in the running despite missing the camp due to a prior commitment.

Shaun Foley and Jenkins were both late call-ups for the Darwin Sevens and Commonwealth Games squads but proved welcome additions, particularly in Delhi, and will no doubt be an integral part of the Surfers Paradise tilt.

Foley was also a key member of the Australian team during the first two legs of the IRB Sevens World Series last season before an ankle injury ruled him out for the remainder.

Jenkins made an explosive comeback to the Australian Sevens squad in May 2009 and, together with Bernard Foley, who debuted during the opening leg of the 2009/2010 series, was a key component in the team’s outstanding performances in their IRB Series win in London and finals appearance in Edinburgh.

The Aussie Thunderbolts will head Pool C, which also includes the Queensland Reds 7s, Davetalevu (Fiji), the Pacific MMI Rebels (Papua New Guinea) and Island Breeze (Fiji).

Stannard Claims To Seven Silver

FROM an Ipswich schoolboy rugby player to Commonwealth Games silver medallist – James “Chucky” Stannard was always made of the right stuff.

The former St Edmund’s College student proved that in Delhi when he shared in Australia’s gallant effort in Tuesday night’s gold medal match.

It was all due to the Stannard efforts that Australian Rugby sevens side win a shiny silver medal at a Commonwealth Games,Although the powerful New Zealanders came from 17-7 down to win 24-17


Stannard was destined for higher honours even at school a decade ago, according to Former St Edmund’s teacher and First XV rugby coach Michael Grieve said that " Stannard was a good leader during his five years at the school and he is very passionate guy"

Grieve said yesterday, spotlighting Stannard's rugby achievement from a non-GPS school that,"He was always keen and had to work really hard to make it to that level and it would have been really difficult for him and he hiatus at it. Now he is traveling the world, achieving the awards and he deserves every plaudit that he gets"

St Edmund’s College assistant principal activities and respected sportsman Wayne Warren also watched Stannard build his reputation at school as a capable cricketer and “very tough, hard-nose” rugby halfback.

“I think the great aspect of James success is his determination to keep going and to succeed,” Warren said.

“So often lads drop out of the game through overexposure or lack of enthusiam and determination.

“It is a wonderful highlight for his career to get that silver medal last night.

“I think it’s a real testiment to his game that he’s been able to stick at it.”

The former Brisbane Souths player, now 27, is contracted to return in next year’s Super 15 competition.

Souths committee member Peter Daly said Stannard’s rise was “a great success story in Ipswich”.

“I just think it’s great for a kid coming from a school that wasn’t so renowned for its rugby,” Daly said.

“He had a dream like a lot of kids but he stuck hard and fast to it.”

Once able to join the Brisbane competition club, Stannard spent five seasons honing his skills playing halfback, five-eight and inside centre.

On Tuesday night, Australia’s “everywhere man” Stannard was left with battle scars on his face after starring in the national team’s best rugby sevens finish at the Games since Australia won a bronze medal in 1998.

Stannard was a regular try scorer and Australia’s goal kicker throughout the two-day tournament. He scored a vital try and goal in Australia’s 17-7 semi-final victory over South Africa.

He also crossed twice and kick a goal in Australia’s 27-5 quarter-final victory over Kenya.

The arrestingly strange world of Walter Potter

he wild and mysterious Victorian Walter Potter universe, where baby rabbits go to school and crying over their notebooks erased, and where Bullingdon Club style pastry squirrels on cigars that toads jump and play in rats raid of his drinking den, is back in London, seven years after its creatures were sold and scattered around the world.The screens are being assembled for the reopening of the Museum of all, a pop-up museum in a former Victorian dairy, and later recording studio in Primrose Hill, London.Damien Hirst, who has built his international reputation on his creatures such as sharks, and Sir Peter Blake, who is co-curator of the exhibition, each have loaned items for exhibition. Both regard Potter as a genius, and his work as a national treasure that should be maintained for permanent public display.Other loans for the exhibition, opening next Wednesday, come from comedian Harry Hill, the photographer David Bailey, other private enthusiasts, and Pat Morris, a retired academic and expert on the history of taxidermy that intends to leave her own collection to a museum.Hirst has contributed a piece indeed Hirstian, called Happy Families, in which Potter has collected natural "enemies" including cats, dogs, birds, squirrels, rats, mice and a turtle, a truce distinctly uncomfortable.Blake's treasures include the house that Jack built, which has a miniature hen - that Potter produced by gluing feathers to a wooden mold - watch over a wren's nest eggs, and children in the woods, another piece with an air more than slightly creepy.Morris owns the largest piece, which has been featured in the museum. The Death of Cock Robin, which displays more than 100 birds, including a weeping widow and a gravedigger robin owl tumbled down a tiny portion of bone from the soil during the preparation of space for the tournament to the death. It normally occupies an entire wall of the guest room of Morris at Ascot.The beautifully painted backgrounds of the paintings show the fields, woods and buildings in Bramber, West Sussex village, where Potter spent his long life. He was born in 1835, left school at 14 years, self-taught taxidermy (starting with a pet bird), and honed his craft with specimens donated by friends.He opened his museum in a shed behind his father's pub. It proved so popular, stimulating trade pub dramatically, that the brewery has created a special-purpose museum that Potter ran until his death in 1918.The museum was taken over by his son-in-law, who died in 1969, he was then sold and moved first to Brighton and Arundel, and finally to Jamaica Inn in Cornwall. When the last owner retired, and taxidermist, who took care of the collection, has died, there was an attempt to sell the collection as a whole. But finally it was dispersed after a Bonham's auction where pieces sold for a maximum of £ 20 000 for collectors around the world.The founder of the Museum of Everything, James Brett, who made his fortune in movies and property, opened the first exhibition of "outsider art" that he sees, including the work done in prisons and units Mental Health last year, in conjunction with the Frieze Art Fair. It was intended to run for a fortnight, but was extended several times due to the public - and free coffee - and when he finally drew close to more than 35,000 visitors.It is this time to re-create the glorious chaos of Blake's studio. The artist who created the cover for the Beatles album Sergeant Pepper is a collector and collector on an epic scale, and the exhibition will include some of his toys, shells, and ephemeral circus giant banners."The idea of recreating the museum Potter began as a chance remark to Peter, and it became an obsession to bring the band back together," said Brett.. "He took my life But Potter's worth, it was a true original, and absolutely himself a foreign artist, both as a craftsman I can tell a potter's work of another taxidermist in a glance a room. - he was a genius. "Phone calls were still coming in every day of fanatics Potter, "he said. The three-legged pig, lamb with two heads and four chicken wings are already in place, but he is desperate to marry kittens back in the United States. He still hopes the school rabbits and Guinea pigs playing cricket, a piece believed to be in France, can still arise.Morris, who himself began seven years old taxidermy with a dead squirrel, aided by a guide Boys Own to this subject, says that Potter was a taxidermist very poor all his life: his birds were laminated to the chest because that it fitted with skins on the wrong sized organizations, and his cats had teddy bear eyes.But the genius of Potter was in his ability to create an entire miniature world, the world of a Victorian village which he knew intimately. The pieces are obsessively detailed and full of tiny jokes for the observer: in the club squirrels a creature of joy on a winning hand, not realizing that the viewer can see his opponent cards even better. There are cases of stuffed birds on the walls of the club, and paintings of the size of a postage stamp signed by a W Potter.The poster has never been to everyone's taste. Many thought they were grotesque abuse of animals, despite the poster insisting that none had been killed deliberately for collection. Animals do not die quietly in their sleep, if: Spot the dog, who belongs to a friend Potter, killed most of the drinking den of rats and other scenes, and when she died she was drunk and added to the collection.Morris defends vigorously taxidermy cons of political correctness, which he helped to doom the gathering. "Blaming taxidermy for the large number of rare species in the glass case is also illogical to blame the undertakers for all the dead in cemeteries."The Museum of Everything works at least until Christmas.

“We’ve got players that really want to be here, we’ve gone out an actively picked the players that we’ve wanted and I think our side has a good chemistry with the desire to win and to improve.


“There’s really been a turnaround I think in Sevens, we’re taking it more seriously now, I’ve got players asking me, ringing me, trying to find out what is the criteria, what is the selection process for the Commonwealth Games in Delhi later in the year and I think it’s great.”


Australia have been drawn in Pool D alongside England, Scotland and Russia.


Sevens series regulars from this year Ed Quirk, Liam Gill, Kimami Sitauti, Robbie Coleman and Dominic Shipperely are unavailable for the London and Edinburgh tournaments after earning selection in David Nucifora’s Australian U20s squad which will compete at the IRB Junior World Championships in Argentina in June.
