2018 Sevens RWC

[Stargazer]

Wow, it looks like this is going to be the first upset of the tournament. Ireland are leading 19 - 7.

Time's not up yet, about 2 and half minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

19 - 14 Ireland. Less than a minute to go.

[Stargazer]

And it IS the first upset of the tournament. England are out.

Ireland will be the Black Ferns' next opponent. They've been warned.

Final score: Ireland 19 - 14 England

[Stargazer]

Here we go: Black Ferns 7s v Ireland (live on Duke).

[Stargazer]

Try Woodman! Portia showing her speed again. Fantastic to watch. Nathan-Wong converts.

7 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Haha, and Blyde seems even faster! Nathan-Wong's conversion is good.

14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Break and offload from Brazier, Williams scores the third NZ try! Not converted.

19 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

And another one for Woodman! Nathan-Wong converts.

26 - 0 NZ

That's the half time score.

[Stargazer]

Michaele Blyde scores her second. Nathan-Wong adds the 2 points.
It looks like Ireland put everything in that game against England and have nothing left for this one.

33 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Geez, Blyde is an amazing player. So fast. Hat-trick. Nathan-Wong's kick is good.

40 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try Stacey Waaka. Another massacre this. Not converted.

45 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Full time: Black Ferns 45 - 0 Ireland (7 tries to nil)

That was complete dominance again.

They will play the winner of USA v Russia at 7.04am Sunday morning NZT.

[Stargazer]

The All Blacks 7 will play their first game at 3.31pm NZT this afternoon against Russia.
Russia won the pre-round game v Hong Kong 21 to 7.

When I said that I imagined we'd be playing England ...

And the opponent will be the USA, who beat Russia 33 - 17. The Americans looked strong and are, of course, the home team. I expect this to be the first real test for the BFs.

Good crowd for a Friday in San Francisco.

Excellent choice of stadium. The rectangular field fits in remarkably well.

[Stargazer]

First game ending in a tie! Scotland 26 - 26 Kenya, thanks to Kenya having two men in the bin. Kenya were leading 26 - 0 at some point in the 2nd half.

Scotland scores in the corner and are through! Kenya pays a high price for its ill-discipline.

Scotland 31 - 26 Kenya

[KiwiMurph]

What an amazing comeback from Scotland.

26-0 down in the second half and they came back and won 31-26.

Kenya really blew that.

[Rapido]

What a stupid sport.

Red card for a knock on. Pure 'filth'.

[Stargazer]

Bad luck for Samoa. Belgium Tuatagaloa received a red card for two yellows. The first one was for a high tackle and the 2nd for a deliberate knock-on. Samoa looked the better team, but now England is walking away with it.
