2017-18 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

The AB7s lead 17 - 7 at half time. Tries scored by Ravouvou, Collier and Baker.

[Stargazer]

Full time: 32 - 7. Second half tries to Joass, Nanai-Seturo and Ng Shiu. Very easy game against a very weak opponent.

The next game will probably test them more.

[Stargazer]

Samoa had most of the possession during the first half, but couldn't get through the South African defence. SA had only one chance and took it. Awesome try to Werner Kok.

HT: SA 7 - 0 Samoa

Interesting stats:

Tackles made: SA 17, Samoa 0
Tackles missed: SA 10, Samoa 1 (the one that led to SA's try)

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from Motuga. Finally a try to Samoa, who actually look better than SA.

[JustAnotherFan]

Can't believe Samoa stuffed that up by taking too long at the kick off, get penalized and Blitz come back and score with a converted try in the corner 19-5

[Stargazer]

Full time:

South Africa 26 - 5 Samoa

This is a score that doesn't do justice to Samoa, that looked the better team for most of the game, except the last 90 seconds in which SA scored two great tries.

Samoa deserved more. The South African team that we saw in this game is definitely beatable.

Sportsman always say ... look at the scoreboard

[Stargazer]

Australia with the first try. NZ haven't had the ball yet. Eventually, the Aussies found a hole in the defence.

5-0 Oz

[Stargazer]

Errrr, another try to the Aussies. Our defence is leaky.

12 - 0 Australia

[Stargazer]

Great try from Joass, but another NZ player injured? Knewstubb?

Half time: NZ 7 - 12 Aus

Stats:

[Stargazer]

Total fuck--up from the ref. Penalising Baker for ... nothing.

[Stargazer]

woweeee. Try Collier, but whoever made the chip kick before that (McGarvey-Black?) deserves the credit! 12 all

[Stargazer]

Damn, try Australia. 90 secs to go.

[Stargazer]

12 - 19 Oz. Less than a minute to go.

[Stargazer]

And it's over. Final score: NZ 12 - 19 Australia. Bugger.

[JustAnotherFan]

NZ will probably face Fiji in a QF ... enjoy

[Bovidae]

Inexperience from McGarvey-Black at the end to run down the sideline? That ref seemed to blow really short penalty advantages.

[Stargazer]

Good to see a depleted Samoa side play well against the Argies. That last try was awesome!

Half time: Arg 0 - 24 Samoa
