7's has been a phenomena for blooding NZ players. Feels like the original "rugby family" with the continuity through Gordon "Tightens" one man institution. I like all the codes: 15s, NRL(league), 7's and Touch footie but have to say 7's is my favourite - Karl Te Nana also probably the best commentator across all codes (esp. 7's), though some of the nrl commentators are good too. "The way we played rugby" ~ Rico Gear. Imo in all the codes that's what it's about. Hopefully professionalism does not displace that. The players should be having fun, expressing themselves, playing for the team, showing character - that's what makes a game more than a spectacle and inspires young people and leaves good memories for older players.
Special talent Rico Gear - Unassuming Guy. I rate him up there with best - reliable, skilful, speed, Offence and defence outstanding.
Rico was an exceptional winger / midfielder in his time. Was always exciting to watch.
Always liked Rico's style of play. I always thought he was cool dude when I was young, he still is
Rico looking and sounding on top form. Lethal finisher. Great Haka leader.
Grow up watching this brother much love rico gear
Absolute legend brother.
