    Australia looking like going the tournament without conceding a try. That's pretty impressive.

    Aus just in another class to everybody else.

    This season Aus have kicked away from NZ in the Womens 7s.

    I used the mute button midway through the 1st half. 😉

    A very poor performance. How about one try?

    Great display from the Aussies and a very deserved win.

    Disappointing result for NZ, but most mistakes from the BF7s were due to incessant pressure from Australia, so all credit to them. The Aussies were also very lucky with some bounces of the ball. That's just the way it is; sometimes you're lucky, sometimes you're not. I think our women's team had a great tournament and this loss doesn't take anything away from that. More luck next time.

    @snowy I noticed today he's now added "standing in the attacking line obstructing the team in possession" to his list of dubious refereeing skills.

    Was just wondering. Could Caleb Clarke and Etene Nanai-Seturo both do a double this year? The U20 JWC in June and the RWC Sevens in July?

    And would they be the first players to do that?

    Edited to add that Koroi also qualifies for both.

    Stupid rule. That was clearly a grounding, even if you couldn't see it.

    Oh, and Clarke is on the field. Who's missing? Curry is there, too.

    Stanaway having a game to forget. Bombs a try and now a couple of defensive errors in our 22.

    NZ their own worst enemy. Why did Curry go himself when he got held up?

    In 2005, Liam Messam played at the World Cup Sevens at Hong Kong in March and the U21 World Cup in Argentina in June.

    Deserved win for the AB7s. Inconsistent refereeing could have cost them the game, but fortunately it didn't. Good first outing for Clarke, who has in one game already convinced more than Nanai-Seturo.

    Better second half NZ to get the win.

    Nanai-Seturo with his best game yet - huge involvement.

    Clarke looked a bit lost but would be good experience.

    @kiwimurph Haha, I'm totally of the opposite opinion about Clarke and Nanai-Seturo!

    So NZ have to play Fiji again, for fifth place. With Fiji looking much better, also narrowly having beaten the AB7s yesterday, it's going to be a tough game for our team. K/o 9.39pm.

    Don't be so negative.

    @stargazer I'm of the same opinion as @KiwiMurph! Both looked comfortable but Nanai had a fair bit more action and aggression about him.
