Get David James on for a full show - you’d need another hour or two. What a legend

[@dustinalessi6602]

I showed my wife highlights of the HK7s and now she’s hooked. Neither of us come from traditional rugby country but we love how fast paced and easier to understand 7s is. I’m looking forward to 7s more than any other sport at the Olympics. Hello from Texas

[@KekeHimona]

Absolutely agree! Even though I am from New Zealand and adore rugby, 7s is the best! Fast and easy to follow! So much fun and excitement. So glad you loved your 7s experience

[@davsavchav]

How good was David James! Great guest for a future show.

[@Swiftybru]

Was in the south stand for 3 days. Glad to see the Hask enjoying himself. James, whatever you do, don’t give up the day job!

[@johnnyguitar6697]

Hi day job is generally being a clown, and I thought he acquitted himself of that superbly.

I proposed to my wife in the south stand at halftime with a jug of Swan lager during the final in 1990, just after William Ryder had scored the greatest try in 7s history, today is our 32nd wedding anniversary #Helen Winters

[@johnnyguitar6697]

Brilliant story.

[@Sam-qm6nn]

Get David James on the show again, felt like he barely got started

[@PhysicalEducationPod]

Good to see Rob Vickerman back. Hope there's a way he can be brought back on a more permanent basis. Unlikely with his other commitments but the man talks sense

[@victordastile5204]

Good to see the great Campo👊

[@richardcooke7909]

Split GB back up, England games always create the best atmosphere. One half stadium screams for England the other half screams for whoever they play against. Best atmosphere ever.

[@ianmann28]

Long long time ago, in the 80’s, England won the cup 5 years in a row, the English players were quoted as saying playing in the HK Stadium, the support they had made them feel like playing at home. Well said

[@marcustsui1158]

only issue is that with sevens now being an olympic sport, the tournament serves as qualification for the olympics, and it is team GB at the olympics... shame really, loved the old days

[@richardcooke7909]

@@marcustsui1158 yup, I know the reason.......😪

[@sambacca69]

@@ianmann28 England have only won in Hong Kong 4 times. 2002-2004 and again in 2006 which was the last time.

[@ianmann28]

[@allankerr668]

BRILLIANT!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@HenryKing679]

Please can you scrap Team GB and bring back Nations Team England,Wales and Scotland as we like watching them on the 7s Series Circut and only select Team GB during the Olympic year cycle only.

[@alexanderhouser4802]

Agreed.

[@neiltolson5460]

David James, top bloke. He still looks hammered.😂

[@quintusswart1263]

Sorry but got nothing on the Koko show

[@jameswitton-bw3dy]

What about a club premiership 7s played during half time maybe raise the profile of game a bit ??

[@alisonlepley666]

Mike like Corporal Jones just that bit behind on the claps

[@jonathankarling1239]

A NFL style combine day would be cool for sevens where the whole sevens squad does all the NFL tests. 40 years dash, broad jump, vertical leap and then some kick accuracy etc... I'd get to know the players a bit better

[@robertnimmo5683]

Hope Canada manage to stay in the top 10 because their covered stadium and crowd in Vancouver are amazing!

[@richardcooke7909]

Canada can still be a host even if neither Men or Women are included.......as an example Hong Kong and Dubai.........Canadian women are 5th anyway!

[@bentimson9016]

Great to watch rugby 7s, unfortunately in the UK behind a pay per view wall so unlikely to be promoted to a wider audience, also not enough played at youth level grass roots, so start the game there and you never know it may take off!!

[@bethparry9051]

Just got back from the HK7’s Great event and had such fun…bit disappointing that the corporation’s seating areas were never full….

[@ianmann28]

As expected.

[@a.denley]

Talk to the boys from the KOKO Show about pacing yourself! 😂 0:39

[@nathanhealey-potter8684]

Money, players and party!

[@russellwardale5224]

First time I've heard Campo comment on anything. Hopefully, the last. Standard dinosaur responses.

[@GoodBadRugby]

Who will be crowned Olympic Champions in the SVNS this year? 🏉

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

South Africa

[@dustinalessi6602]

Argentina if Monet is healthy

[@victordastile5204]

​@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9nsno way bro and I'm a saffa😂

[@GoodBadRugby]

🤔 Who is the first player that comes to mind when you think of the Hong Kong Sevens?

[@expressoevangelism80]

Serevi. If that’s how you spell it. He was just awesome magic to watch.

[@timmywilson]

I had an epic weekend there and was in the carnage that was the south stand !!

[@middlespike13]

Someone muted Hasks mic 😂

[@user-gv6vj7xw4u]

Ardie Savie is the 15s player of the year ,Not sure why they think Du Pont is the Number 1 !

[@Bdamuni]

Campo the great

[@JON-sm2wk]

Payno left his socks at home

[@cjkupa]

Damn - Campo is a tad dark on kiwi's coaching the Wallabies - mate its pre performance based and look in the mirror bro

[@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns]

Haskell looks small. David James is just as big😃

[@gunner4life568]

goalkeepers are generally big

[@davsavchav]

Tindall makes very good points, but boy his responses are long winded.

[@keoniwright3647]

New Zealand would have at least medaled in 2016 if they didn't suddenly bring in "big names" from the 15s game. Dupont is the minority within the minority of players who can play high-level 15s and 7s. Sevens does not need to bow down to the personalities in the 15s game. Including disconnected pundits.

[@realtalk9330]

My Hask has been on the coke all night comment has been deleted. What happened to freedom of speech haha?

[@WestCoastWilliam]

Hask and Tinds, ya ya, gap year. Ra ra. Hockey sticks.

[@mattg6902]

love it when haskel loses his voice

[@ritchiebirnie6124]

Team GB ruined 7s for me

[@RogerGray-ok1wp]

i never comment on anything.. i love Rugby so much.. With respect guys you are a long way away from all aspects. analysis ans entertaintment is not there guys and i think you know.

[@benrawson007]

What?

[@victordastile5204]

Lay off that strong stuff pls😂

How to grow the sport of 7’s : let America / Saudi win the tournament= $$$$$$
