What was our first yellow for?

Man that Fijian side looked like men vs boys in their game, they were huge

Intentional knock down.

[taniwharugby]

@kiwimurph pretty tough call then I thought?

Men's semifinal, Fiji v NZ, is tomorrow morning at 8.02am NZT.

Today, the women's final, Black Ferns 7s v France is at 2.47pm NZT.

@taniwharugby Yeah I notice that every time I see Fiji play sevens. So many, esp European, teams have gone for speed over strength. The Fijians often genuinely look like men playing a 1st 15 team, pros vs amateurs size wise. And they're still fast as, what an amazing people, it's like 7s was written for those guys. I love watching them, Harlem Globetrotters when they're on song.5

Awesome quarter final between USA and England.

England wins in the first 20 seconds of extra time with a fantastic kick pass try.

Quite tough given he was trying to knock it backwards not forwards, therefore it wasn't intentional.

And can we stop calling it a knock "down"? The offence is a deliberate knock forward.

[Stargazer]

That was a great try from Ellia Green. It looks like the Aussie women are going to grab bronze.

[Stargazer]

The Aussie women finish third.
Full time: USA 14 - 24 Australia

Penalty -> quick tap ->. try time! Well done Nathan-Wong.

[KiwiMurph]

France very hard done by with that last penalty. Pretty awful call.

[Stargazer]

Awesome passage of play, resulting in a try from Blyde.
This should be enough surely?
