PNG 7s side face huge task

PAPUA New Guinea has been drawn into Pool C, along with reigning IRB Sevens World Series champions Samoa at the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India.
This was announced by the International Rugby Board together with the Commonwealth Games Federation.
Also  in the pool are the ever dangerous Kenya and Uganda.
Defending Commonwealth Games Sevens champions New Zealand are top seeds and head Pool A, which include World Series regulars Scotland,  Canada and Caribbean champions Guyana.
New Zealand have won all three rugby sevens gold medals on offer so far – in 1998 (Kuala Lumpur), 2002 (Manchester) and 2006 (Melbourne).
The 2002 bronze medallists, South Africa, head Pool B and face three challenging opening matches against reigning Rugby World Cup Sevens champions Wales, Tonga, and hosts India.
The 2006 silver medallists, England, head Pool D and face a mouth-watering tie against Australia, who finished this year’s World Series in third place behind Samoa and New Zealand.
The two rugby super powers will also face matches against the third African team in the draw, Namibia, and Sri Lanka.
“Sevens has proven successful at the Commonwealth Games and, this year, we are excited that the event is held in India, where rugby is reaching out to new, young audiences in a rapidly developing market for our sport.
“We are looking forward to what promises to be a memorable tournament for the global rugby family,” IRB president Bernard Lapasset said.
