Nice bounce for Fiji

Try Shakira Baker!! 17 - 5 NZ
Patience rewarded.

That was the most awesome try. Just absolute sheer guts. 4 mins of continuous play most of it desperation defence on their own line. I got goosebumps.

[Stargazer]

Another try for Fiji. Very good.

[Stargazer]

Fiji leads 12 - 0

[Stargazer]

S Africa not handling the pressure well. Making too many errors.

[Stargazer]

Half time: Fiji 12 - 0 South Africa

I guess they are, hey?

[Stargazer]

Good. Let this go to extra time! It's 19 all, and the hooter has gone.

[JustAnotherFan]

Hmm ... sitting here watching commonwealth squash and reading comments to get a score at 4:30am in the morning.

[Stargazer]

Try Fiji in the corner!! So this is golden point?

[ShadowTrooper]

@justanotherfan Don't worry - me too.

[Stargazer]

Full time: South Africa 19 - 24 Fiji

Men's bronze medal final - 4.17pm NZT:
England v South Africa

Men's gold medal final - 5.01pm NZT:
All Blacks 7s v Fiji

[KiwiMurph]

South Africa knocked out. Cant see NZ getting close to Fiji.

[Machpants]

We can only hope they're tired from the HK sevens and smashing our B team by fifty!

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph No, it will be tough, but you never know!

[JustAnotherFan]

Only consolation is SA plays England and BBC will show the England game. I will finally get to see a Blitzbokke game this weekend.

Good luck to NZ in the final. Will be tough. Fiji are beatable. Sport is 90% mental and 10% physical.

[Stargazer]

They've shifted the sevens from Duke to TV One.

England has won bronze in the women's tournament after beating Canada 24 - 19.

Now, England v S Africa playing for bronze in the men's tournament.
