I'm truly enjoying the Precision Sports Rugby 7s and 15s games. Thank you for the great games. I'm writing now to ask if you will issue a new set for the 2022–23 World Rugby Sevens Series—and, if so, when might it become available? I do not mean to sound impatient. I can imagine how much work goes into each set. Thank you for your attention to my request.

Hi there Andy. Thanks for the question, and I apologise for the delay in replying to you.
The answer is yes, there will be a 2022-23 set release. I've already put the team ratings data in to the file for the main tour. I even planned to release the challenge tour in its own release as well.
The problem, and the reason it hasn't been released so far, is that all of the scoring statistics for the player identifiers for tries and kicks have been removed from the official website. There is going to be a new website for the rebranded competition in 2023-24, and maybe they will re-appear there then, although it's quite possible that it isn't 'fresh' to worry about statistical data, and so it doesn't re-appear.
So I planned to wait to see if it would re-appear when the competition resumes (December), and whether it does or doesn't, then finish it and release then. I even already collected the challenge data during those two competitions, knowing that the World Rugby site never kept them online.
But if instead yourself and any others who want to purchase this set don't care about having those, I can convert it into a team ratings only set (like the Handball League Edition now is), and move it up in and to release, with the challenge tour included as replacement.
I hope this answers your question, and if you want to, let me know if you would prefer to forgo the team cards.
Hi Paul, thanks so much for your very prompt and detailed response. What you write makes good sense to me. I'm glad to hear you have plans for this set. Personally, I really enjoy the individual try and kick results, so I am content to wait in hopes of that data becoming avaiable for you to include with the set. In the meantime, I know there are plenty of other great sets from your line of rugby games to keep me busy. (I'm currently replaying the pool stage of the 2019 World Cup, with great pleasure.)
Thank you for the entertaining games and your thoughtful reply to my query. I'll look forward to the 2022-23 7s set when it's ready.
