2018 Sevens RWC

[KiwiMurph]

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.

[Stargazer]

Wow, Japan leading 10 - 7 at half time.

[Rapido]

But despite my moan. Come on Fiji. This Japan team is Qatar-like in its taking the piss of nationality.

[Stargazer]

Knew that Japanese lead wouldn't last long.

14 - 10 Fiji

[Stargazer]

You have to give to the Japanese players. They're not intimidated by Fiji at all.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Fiji 35 - 10 Japan (4 tries to 2)

Convincing second half from Fiji.
