Commonwealth Games - Rugby Sevens

[Stargazer]

Question from Mrs SG: all BFs are wearing the same boots. Is this compulsory for tournaments like these? Or their choice? I have no idea.

[Stargazer]

Try Blyde. 17 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try Broughton after the hooter. 22 - 0 NZ. That's the half time score.

[Stockcar86]

All the NZ team so skilled, strong, and fast

[Stockcar86]

Woodman, such acceleration

[Stargazer]

Another try from Woodman! 27 - 0

[Stargazer]

Try Williams. Awesome! 36 - 0 NZ

[Bones]

@stargazer SA all have different boots, so I guess their choice - or just what Adidas gave them.

[Stargazer]

That step from Brazier again! Try! 41 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

@bones We were more thinking it might be a rule from the NZ Olympic Committee or NZR for this type of event. But maybe they just chose to wear the same boots.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Black Ferns 7s 41 - 0 South Africa 7s

[Stargazer]

The real test will be tomorrow when they play Canada. No. 3 in the current rankings behind Australia and NZ.

[Stargazer]

I haven't seen much of the CG so far; the ad breaks during 7s have been quite painless, I must say.

[Stargazer]

Fijiana looking good against Wales. Not quite the level of the top 3 nations yet, but they're improving. 12 - 0 Fiji

[Bones]

@stargazer Hilarious from the Welsh player, makes a break, no one in front or within 20 metres, runs straight into the defenders path rather than blatting it for the line.

[Stargazer]

Good win from Fijiana: 29 -7. They need those points, because they lost their first game to England (5 - 17)

[Stargazer]

Wow, what's happening? England leads 12 - 5 over Australia with only seconds to go in the first half.

[Stargazer]

Ellia Green! Wow. 12 all at half time.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from Staple (sp?); great speed. Aussie take the win: 29 - 12

[Stargazer]

That was a great special about/with Portia Woodman on Duke. What an athlete!
