Both Baker and Isles in the USA squad for the weekend. USA have a tricky group and the match against Kenya will be massive!

Here is an in-depth look at the first 8 matches of the London 7’s. Bookies have not priced up at the time of writing so stay tuned to the forum for updates.
Samoa vs Canada
The sides have met 5 times this Series with the average score of Samoa 19 Canada 14. Samoa have won all 5 matches but Canada are 3-2 against the handicap in these 5 matches with the average handicap being Samoa -3.5. Samoa were excellent in Singapore making the Cup Quarter-Finals. Samoa made it to the Plate Finals and lost out to New Zealand in the Finals. Canada have been average this year and have failed to string back-to-back performances together. The last time the sides met was in the Singapore group stage where Samoa won 22-19. Samoa are slow starters and have failed to cover the handicap in the opening game in all 9 tournaments this year! Canada on the handicap if its +5.5 or better
South Africa vs Russia
Senatla returns! This should see plenty tries as the average score between the sides this season is 38-5. H2H this season:
- Canda7s – South Africa 38 Russia 7
- NZ7s – South Africa 38 Russia 0
- SA7s – South Africa 40 Russia 5
Expect the handicap to be around South Africa -32.5
Spain vs Wales
The sides have met once this series where Wales won 29-21. The handicap was Wales -6.5 on the day and I expect a similar handicap for this match. Spain are a battling side that are good to back in Day 2 of any event while Wales are lacking flair although Luke Morgan has been a standout performer this year.
Australia vs Ireland
Ireland are the invitational team and were very good in the Commonwealth Games and in Hong Kong. They are a rising star in Sevens and this handicap will be interesting to watch. Australia punched above their weight in Singapore with a splendid Semi-Final win against New Zealand and a last gasp defeat to Fiji in the final.
New Zealand vs Scotland
The sides have met 4 times this year with the average score being 26-15 to the All Black 7s. Scotland did cover the handicap in every match so are 4-0 against the spread! The Scots are also the London Cup holders after a sensational wins in both 2016 and 2017. New Zealand are not at full strength and anything over +14.5 on the handicap and I will be backing the Scots!
Fiji vs Argentina
Fiji are on a 19-game unbeaten streak in the IRB series having won the last 3 tournaments and will take some beating this weekend! Incredibly, the Fijians have covered the handicap in 8 of 9 opening matches this season, covering the handicap by an average of 8 points per game! That means they are beating the handicap by a converted try 88% of the time in game 1! Fiji have met Argentina twice this season with an average score of 41-11 in their favour. The average handicap has been -10.5. Fiji on the handicap looks an Automatic Play!
Kenya vs United States
This is THE biggest game in the opening 8 matches as Kenya take on the USA in the “Pool of Death” opener. Kenya have the USA 3 times this season, winning two and drawing one and going 3-0 against the handicap. The Kenyan’s have a good blend of speed and strength and seem to match up well against the United States. Kenya will have to stop Perry Baker and avoid giving him free space. Kenya have covered the handicap in 7/9 opening matches this season (77%) The average handicap in this matchup has been Kenya +6.5 and anything similar to that and I will be backing the Kenyan’s to cover.
England vs France
The sides have met twice this season, England narrowly beat France 14-12 in Dubai and then absolutely thrashed them 39-0 in Singapore last time out. England are the host nation and will be looking to lay down a marker in game 1. Pool C could be decided on points so expect plenty points in the matches involving the French this weekend! Average handicap has been England -17.5 but I expect a handicap closer to England -21.5 in this clash

Cap set at Canada +7 TNB with GG.
Samoa have been rocked with the news that Captain Tupou has been sent back home after being caught drink driving! Massive news and a serious setback considering he has 65 tournies under his belt. Throw in the fact that Samoa have FAILED TO COVER GAME 1 ONCE THIS SEASON (0-9 Against the game 1 handicap) and it makes Canada +7 GOLDEN!!!

Come on the Canooks!
Also fancy SA-28 / Scots +15 and think England desimate the Frogs so Eng -18.5
NZ will struggle and Scotland will be lifted by Twickers after their last 2 years There. Scots could even sneak a win so the +15 is golden!
Not sure how Ireland take on their first game as they might target Spain and Wales instead of the Aussies ...
Enjoy boys

Amazingly Canada have covered 4 from 4 in the H2H between the sides this season. Average handicap has been -18 so the -17.5 looks spot on. Would side with Canada +17.5 but not with much confidence. Think unders a better bet!
Spain v Ireland
Fancy Ireland to win 1 of their final 2 games so will take smalls here. No lines as yet.

All over the Aussies here, Aussies match up brilliantly against the Welsh. Wales lack pace and Aussies have it in numbers. Aussies are 4-0 ATS in the H2H this season, were rampant in the 2nd half against Ireland and know a big result here will seal their QF place. Average score between the sides is Aus 36 Wales 5.
The Aussie -18 or so is a beauty!
New Zealand vs Argies
Not sure how the Argies are mentally, really should have beaten the Feeej but that is the best I have seen the Argies play in a while! NZ are average and lack depth so anything over +14 will have me excited

Wales +4.5 vs France: Wales might win this, and if not, should remain within the cap
England +1.5 vs Aus: Irrespective of form coming into this fixture, the host nation would need to be backed, especially on any plus.
