[zimeric]

Interesting idea to get the top 12 contenders of the tier 2 nations to vie for 4 play-off spots in the London leg of the series where they will square off with the bottom three from the current tier one teams to find out who qualifys for the olympics tourney.

Game 46 JPN 0-10 GEO

the four teams are Georgia, Tonga, Zimbabwe and Russia

their opposition will likely be USA, Portugal and Spain based on current world standings... one more team to round out the eight will be the winner of the HSBC Asian Sevens Series which from the current standings will be either Hong Kong or Japan.
