A smoke signaller emails across some questions about the Sevens in Heaven tournament which takes place in Rarotonga tomorrow, Friday and Saturday: “First of all, how come Titikaveka has two teams – I thought each village was only allowed 1 team? How many local players are in the Teimurimotia team? Are they a local team, or overseas players with local benchwarmers? I hope not. Is B for Bacon and is he even playing? It’s confusing for a Titikaveka supporter – I didn’t know about this until today’s paper! But I will support Bacon’s team if he is A or B; just let me know and can I wear my bulldogs singlet. Also, what happened to the girls’ teams – they gave us the most laughs and best games!” SS: This is not a quiz, but all the answers are within stories in the Sevens in Heaven supplement in today’s CINews.
