She's ably matched by the immensely irritating American. Between them and WR, 7s should be dead by next year in English speaking countries.

Despite force stopping the app and clearing data, it still shows an error when trying to view the fixtures. Bonesetta said the website is the same, so had to go to PR and she will do from now on. What the fuck are these clowns doing?

Wins for both NZ teams in their second game. The AB7s looked OK against Uruguay but the lack of speed is evident when they get players in space. A big game against SA today.

The BF7s started well against the USA but won't be happy with their 2nd half.

[Bones]

Miller makes a two handed steal, but it's apparently without releasing the player. Aussie refs eh. What a way for Miller to find out she has 3 hands.

[Bones]

Really good by AB7s. Brilliant defence and apart from the last minute or two of the 1st half, really good smarts. Strangled SA into submission.

[Bovidae]

We seemed to get the rub of the green from the Fijian ref too. SA lacked any urgency.

QFs:
BF7s v Brazil - 10:26 pm NZT
AB7s v France - 1:10 am

Mostly just starved of possession and really accurate defence from black I thought.

The BF7s beat Brazil 31-7 and will play Canada in their SF.

Very sloppy couple of games from the BFs. Can't see them going further if they carry on this form.

[Victor Meldrew]

Watching Spain v Fiji. Spain impressive in 2nd half.

28-21 with 50s to go.

Now 28-28 after nearly 3 minutes of extra time. Outstanding from Spain

[KiwiMurph]

When are AB 7s going to learn to just take a lead after the halftime hooter.

Same thing as the Aussie pool game

Just get to halftime - instead they concede a needless try (again)

[KiwiMurph]

Same old story by AB 7s

A lack of pace and game management

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph almost coneeded a try to the BBs after the hooter

[Bovidae]

The AB7s have Spain again. They have lost three in a row to them.

[canefan]

That new stadium looks pretty amazing

[Bovidae]

The AB7s put in a very good defensive effort to beat Spain 24-5 in the 5th/6th place game. A couple of dumb plays in the 1st half didn't prove costly. Looking at you, Maka.

The BF7s will play Aust in the Women's final.

[Steven Harris]

@canefan crazy to think its now where the old kaitak airport use to be ,took clients up there in the 1990s to the 7s

[booboo]

I had that as Aussie playing on the deck. .

[NTA]

Ferns have scored more and conceded less this tournament. They'll have a handy win here

[booboo]

Should be 7 all. Nice Risi and Sarah

[booboo]

Indeed 7 all
