Australian Women’s Seven coach Chris Lane wants a more physical display from his side this weekend as they look to go one better on their second-place finish in Hong Kong last weekend.

The Qantas Women’s Sevens (ranked 2nd) face Japan (11th), Ireland (unranked) and Canada (7th) in pool play in Guangzhou, China, in the penultimate round of the inaugural IRB Women’s Sevens World Series this weekend.

The Foro Polanco of Mexico City will be the theatre of one of the most anticipated return leg of these World Series of Boxing (WSB) quarter-finals, this Friday 29 March (21:00 local time). Despite the 4-1 success of the GB Franchise last Friday, the Mexicans are full of hopes and have lined-up their best weapons to reach the semi-finals.

Still unbeaten this season and second best Bantamweight (50-54 kg) so far, Elias Emigdio will be opening the evening with the hard task to bring a first point to the Mexican team. He will face Welshman Sean McGoldrick which is showing a 3-1 record for his first WSB season. "I feel great and ready for this fight", told us Emigdio. "As the season goes forward, I feel stronger, faster and better. Every bout is a personal challenge and I will give everything in the ring." McGoldrick is taller than his opponent and will certainly try to use this to his advantage. The Lionhearts stated "I feel fit and strong. I am excited about this fight as Emigdio is one of the best boxer in WSB."

Injury to three players has forced the hand of Qantas Men’s Sevens coach, Michael O’Connor, to make late changes to his Australian squad for this weekend’s Tokyo Sevens tournament.

The defending champions of the Tokyo-based event, the Qantas Men’s Sevens head into the seventh round of the HSBC Sevens World Series with a significantly different squad to that which finished as Plate semifinalists in Hong Kong last weekend.
