Getting your excuses in already???????

I gather you don't follow 7s . Senatla, Kwagga Smith, Tim Agaba, Notshe, Jason Geduld, Ruhan Nel, Rosko Speckman are not playing today, but played last 2 tournaments.

Can also add in Chris Dry, 1st choice 7s player who started art the start of the season and is our forward with most tournaments, but is out for the year.

That is our whole All Star team gone.

Another disappointing first half from the AB7s. As we already know, they lack speed. Sloppy play.
Hoping for a better 2nd half.

Brilliant by Koroi and Ravouvou

[Stargazer]

There was a clear knock-on from the Argies in the passage of play that lead to their try, but the ref ruled otherwise.

[Stargazer]

Yesssss, great break and try from Etene Nanai-Seturo!

[KiwiMurph]

Argentina great win.

The Jags should sign their skills coach - their catch and pass is way better than Jaguares.

[Stargazer]

NZ lose 26 - 19 to the Argies. Deserved win from Argentina, that has been improving steadily since last season.
The AB7s MUST now beat Scotland tomorrow morning, or they won't make the Cup QF. Not an easy task, as Scotland is also on the rise.

@family-man looked to have good toe, but maybe not super top end. Reminded me of DMac.

[Stargazer]

NZ win the first half with some very good tries, but defence is still an issue. 21 - 10 NZ at half time.

[Stargazer]

Regan Ware is having a really good tournament.

[Stargazer]

NZ wins 26 - 17 against the Scotts and is through to the Cup QF.

Thanks (I couldn't watch it). Should be a good QF.

[Stargazer]

Not sure Mikkelson will play the QF. He got injured during the game; no idea how badly. He was replaced, but that may have been precautionary.

[JustAnotherFan]

Hilarious. I had just written that Fiji had pulled off a victory and as I lookup to press Submit, Kenya pulls it off.

[Stargazer]

[KiwiMurph]

Another handling error by Molia.

[KiwiMurph]

Rolling maul try by NZ - dont see that often in 7s!

[JustAnotherFan]

Rolling maul by NZ 7s off a line-out. Applying some XV game. Worked well. 10-7 to NZ HT

[Frye]

Dumb.

[KiwiMurph]

That was really really shit from NZ. Its like watching the Blues - you know they are going to lose before it happens.
