2018 Sevens RWC

[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.

[Stargazer]

Half time: AB7s are leading 12 - 5 after tries to Ravouvou and Baker, who converted his own try. Russia scored after the hooter. I missed most of the half, so no comments.

[Siam]

Baker is a bit much

[Stargazer]

Great try from Ravouvou. That lad is strong! 17 - 5 NZ

[Stargazer]

Awesome passage of play, leading to a try from Knewstubb. That pass from Curry was brilliant.

24 - 5 NZ

[Stargazer]

Haha, Mikkelson scores in the corner and continues his run into the tunnel. He came back though.

29 - 5 NZ

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 29 - 5 Russia

Not bad, not bad at all. Not as dominant as I'd like them to be, but didn't really expect that.

The All Blacks 7s will play France in the Championship QF at 11.16am Sunday morning NZT.
If they win that, they could meet Fiji in the semis (assuming Fiji will beat both Japan and Argentina).

[Rapido]

I wonder how many Fijians are playing in this tournament? A lot.

[Stargazer]

Sloppy game thus far from Fiji, only 5 points ahead of Japan.

[Rapido]

Pathetic refereeing. Some parts of rugby I concede are hard to ref. Knock ons out in the open isn't one of those parts.
