Every week, England 7s star Mathew Drew Turner takes on the role of brazen, if not cheeky, reporter for RWU. LAS VEGAS, NV – At long last, Johnathan Wicklow Barberie was able to get the shifty Mat Turner – who is 3 in the overall HSBC Sevens Series scoring – on camera.

GOLD COAST, AUSTRALIA – Despite the absurdly slow and archaic Australian internet set-up, Thursday’s contributor, Eagle 7s star Matt Hawkins, was able to not only get his post in, he stepped it up a notch and put in on video. Thanks to his makeshift crew and camera dept, who we believe was comprised mainly of fellow Eagles, and a handy cell phone, The Polar Bear and Johnathan Wicklow Barberie bring you the following, which will [...]
