Ex-Wallaby Michael Hooper reaches Hong Kong semi-finals on SVNS debut
By AAP
Michael Hooper's debut sevens tournament continues to prove a success with the Olympics-hunting Wallabies great enjoying cameo roles as both Australian sides marched to the semi-finals in Hong Kong.
The 125-times capped Hooper again came off the bench to enjoy four minutes of action as Australia's men strolled to a 31-0 win over Canada in their final group match but was only needed as a last-minute sub in their 15-0 quarter-final win over South Africa later on Saturday.
The 33-year-old Hooper's next test as he is being gently eased into the high-paced sevens world will be in a blockbuster semi-final against New Zealand on Sunday's final day of the marquee World Series event.
The Australian women, currently leading the season's standings, will also face a semi-final against their big New Zealand rivals after continuing their unbeaten run into the last four with a 12-0 quarter-final victory over Japan.

Yeah I read down, just surprised that you were saying that Bristol were struggling at the time when you know very well that's not true!
Looking at the first choice 15 that beat the blues that year, just three of them were in the 23 in Bristol.
Anyway, good response.
