2017-18 World Sevens Series

[Higgins]

Higgins also anticipates a comfortable Ireland victory at the aftermatch function as well!

[Stargazer]

Now that was an example of how a shit pass from one of the Kiwis can lead to a SA try several phases later. Really sloppy.

7 - 0 SA

[Stargazer]

Geez and then a terrible throw at the line-out.

[Siam]

If that tackle penalty just before the sa try is deemed a head high then the game is ruined.

[Stargazer]

Half time: NZ 0 - 7 SA

[Stargazer]

Geez, bunch of show ponies trying to throw some flashy passes, but without any accuracy. Idiots.

Try SA. 14 - 0 SA

[Higgins]

Is there any guy in the NZ team with speed above that expected of hippotamus?

[Stargazer]

@higgins Mikkelson. Only just now coming on.

[Siam]

Haven't kept up with the 7s team much lately.
Dear God they're very ordinary

[Stargazer]

@siam This is the worst game I've seen from them in months.

[Siam]

@stargazer phew

[Stargazer]

Finally, a try.

[Stargazer]

We're missing Koroi. Or going further back, we're missing guys like Gillies Kaka.

[Stargazer]

Deserved win for SA. They also didn't play well, but not as bad as NZ.

Full time: NZ 5 - 14 SA

As expected, NZ will be playing the 5th place semi-final.

[Stargazer]

We have too many new, young and pretty average players. Clearly missing guys like Ravouvou, Koroi and Knewstubb.

[ACT Crusader]

That was rubbish. Some pretty lackadaisical play from us.

Have we forgotten how to pass in front of the man?

[Higgins]

Where is the guy with the Sterling Mortlock hairdo that usually plays for the Aussies?

[Snowy]

I'm not sure that those kids have quite grasped the concept - you pass to a man, who has to catch it and use the space created.

Don't just pass into the space FFS.

[Snowy]

Given that Cama is acting head coach for the weekend, am I allowed to blast the shit out of him for not starting Tim M, 5 times world series champion, in a quarter final against an old foe...The uselessness wasn't just on the field it seems.

[Stargazer]

Haven't watched the last two games, obviously, but NZ has finished 5th.

5th place SF:
NZ 38 -7 Australia

5th place final:
NZ 26 - 5 USA

The surprise result of the tournament must be Ireland winning bronze. It was their first time in the Cup Quarter Finals, let alone the semis! Really good! They beat England 21 - 19 in the third place play-off.

No one will be surprised that Fiji won the tournament again, beating SA 21 - 17 in the Final.
