Didn't know that only one team makes the semis. No room for error here.

The Ugandan 6 is a bit of a beast.

Feel sorry for Malaysia here, totally outclassed by SA.
They’re scoring with every touch of the ball, Malaysia have hardly made a tackle

Yes, it's pretty tough. If the AB7s manage to win their pool, they'll most likely play Australia or England in the SF. We can only meet Fiji or SA in the Final if we get that far.

Due to the smaller number of participating countries, it's different in the women's tournament. There the first two countries of each pool qualify for the medal-semis. It's best for the BFs to finish first, because then they'll avoid the Aussies in the SF, who will - no doubt - win their pool. They'd then probably play England in the semis.

BF7s v Canada is the next game. First real test. Canada is a medal contender.

[Stargazer]

Wow, haha, that Kenyan player with the head gear! Smashing the SA players. And now she scores!

[Stargazer]

Yusss, Portia with the 1st try of the game!

[Stargazer]

Oops, Goss to the bin.

[Stargazer]

High tackle by Blyde. Try Canada and yellow for Blyde. NZ down to 5 players. This will cost them!

7-5 to Canada

[Stargazer]

That's the half time score.

[Chris B.]

Just moronic!!!

[Stargazer]

Goss back on. NZ playing with 6.

[KiwiMurph]

Awful discipline Black Fern 7s.

[Stargazer]

Blyde back on.

[Stargazer]

Blyde scores in the corner. Well done.

[canefan]

Score?

[Stargazer]

@canefan 10 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Not sure Blyde was on side, but she looks to have scored another try after an awesome kick from Nathan-Wong, who also converts the try.

17-7 NZ

That must be it then?

[Stargazer]

Try Stacey Waaka! Much better half this. Time's up!

Full time: NZ 24 - 7 Canada

We finish first in our pool!
