Great conversion from Knewstubb. 12 - 0 NZ

[Bones]

@stargazer not sure about that one eh, the ball hit his body, so not knocked down?

[Stargazer]

Try Koroi under the sticks. Knewstubb converts. 19 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Awesome defence from the AB7s. Canada knock on.

Half time: NZ 19 - 0 Canada..

Great first half. The AB7s are playing well.

[Stargazer]

Awesome play. Good break from Koroi, great pass to Regan Ware, who out-runs the Canadians and scores under the sticks.
Knewstubb converts: 26 - 0 to NZ

[Bones]

That was dumb Collier. Just when I'm starting to trust you.

[Stargazer]

And another try. Kurt Baker scores under the sticks. Easy conversion. NZ leads 33 - 0

[Stargazer]

Consolation try to Canada.

Full time: NZ 33 - 7 Canada

The AB7s win their pool and will also play England in the medal semis.

[Stargazer]

Didn't see the game, but Fiji has only narrowly beaten Wales. (21 - 17)
They've finished top of their pool and will play either South Africa or Scotland in the semis tomorrow.

[Stargazer]

HT: Australia 14 - 7 Canada

[Chris B.]

What on earth did that lineswoman need to review that no try for? She was standing two feet away from the action and the ball was forced on its second bounce over the deadball line? She's not getting a line umpires job in tennis!

Back yourself, girl!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Why the TMO then? The in goal lineswoman was literally a metre away. Those sitting at the back of the stadium could see that went out first.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Australia 33 - 7 Canada
Australia to the gold-medal final.
That was a really good game from the Aussies. Canada is not one of the weak teams, but couldn't get into the game at all, because the Aussies didn't let them.

Now, the Black Ferns v England!

[Chris B.]

@stargazer Good work by the Canadians playing on for an extra couple of minutes.

I'd have been inclined to boot it out and conserve my energy for the bronze medal match - but, they're intent on giving (hopefully) us a helping hand.

[Stargazer]

Great try from Sarah Goss! NZ on the board!
