History, potentially, awaits Tim Walsh and Australia Women’s Sevens side in the coming weeks. 

Already the reigning champions of the World Rugby Women's Sevens Series and the recently completed Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, Australia’s women will look to seal a momentous treble when they head to the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens in Cape Town next week. 

In conversation with ESPN’s Brittany Mitchell, Walsh reflected on getting past familiar foes Fiji and New Zealand on the way to winning Australia’s first ever Commonwealth Gold in Women’s Sevens, and how the side is shaping ahead of the World Cup. Walsh opens up on both the evolution and journey of himself as a coach, as well as Australia’s Rugby Sevens apparatus and the players that have made their mark in it. 

And there’s plenty more beyond that, including an explanation of the phenomena of “Crunning” – crying and running at the same time.
