It seems almost unthinkable that a rugby sevens side could become too predictable, but thats exactly what Australia will attempt to avoid when they run out at the Rio Olympics.Rugbys shortened form makes its debut on sports biggest stage in Brazil, and Australia is one of 12 nations pushing for gold in what promises to be one of the Games most entertaining events.With just 14 players on the field and the same amount of time in which to secure victory, the helter-skelter nature of sevens means matches can turn on one big play or, as the cliché goes, on the bounce of a ball.And its that off-the-cuff approach, or split-second decisions, that Australia have attempted to rediscover after a solid, but ultimately title-free, World Series season.Yeah, I think there was a few things, Australia coach Andy Friend told ESPN before the squad flew to Rio.I think we became quite predictable in what we were doing.I also think - well, I know -- just the combinations that I used throughout the tournament probably didnt help the boys. But I did that for a reason, which was to give blokes an opportunity, so Im happy I did that. We used 27 players in the 10 tournaments, so that makes it hard to form combinations.With the 12-man squad -- and two standby players -- now putting the finishing touches on their preparations, a lack of combinations shouldnt be an issue for Australia come kickoff in Rio.And after beating the likes of the gold-medal favourites, Fiji and South Africa, the Australians have shown that, on their day, they have the talent to mix it up with the best. But a lengthy losing run against another sevens heavyweight, New Zealand, including a last-gasp defeaat at home in Sydney, means questions remain as to whether Australia can perform at their best throughout the three days of competition in Rio. Roger Maris Jersey. .Yeah, I think its just decision-making in crucial parts of the game, Australia skipper Ed Jenkins told ESPN before departing for Rio.I think were able to compete against those big sides and, I guess, knock them over, but its just being able to do it on a consistent basis ... and its just some of those key areas in the game where we need to tighten up -- and being able to close out those big games where we can come away with the win. And if we can do that over six games, theres no reason why we cant be walking away with a medal.Australia face France, Spain and South Africa in their pool, from which the top two sides will progress to the quarterfinals along with the top two from each of the other two pools as well as the two best third-place finishers.Cam Clark, one of Australias stars in the World Series circuit, said consistency will be key if Australia is to end their long trophy drought in the best possible fashion -- with a gold medal.Well, I think weve proven that we can do it, so there is definitely belief within the group, Clark told ESPN.I think thats the first thing; you dont want to be beaten psychologically before you run out there. So we know we can beat the top sides in the world. Its just, as Ed [Jenkins] said, its a matter of doing it consistently over six games -- and as he said, theres no reason why we cant beat these guys and come away with the gold. Cheap Jerseys 2018 Wholesale NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys From China Cheap Jerseys China NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Jerseys Wholesale ' ' '
