2018 Sevens RWC

[Gunner]

Bad defence for that England try.

Can’t afford to miss tackles like that.

[Stargazer]

Try England, poor tackling there from the Kiwis.

19 - 12 NZ with 2'50" to go.

[Stargazer]

Try Rokolisoa and time's almost up!!!

[Gunner]

Oh yeeeessssssssss!!!!!!!

That’s the nail in the coffin.

[Stargazer]

We get another re-start but it's 26 - 12, so we're WORLD CHAMPIONS again.

NZ gets the back-to-back double!

Still playing. Kick it out!

[Stargazer]

Hahahahaha, another try!!

[Stargazer]

Try scored by Joass.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 33 - 12 England

AWESOME!

[Stargazer]

[Gunner]

Convincing!

We were impressive in the contact and clean out, just dominated that area.

Great stuff!

[KiwiMurph]

Sensational 7s from NZ. So well drilled. Their attack structure and discipline in defence is miles better than it was 12 months ago.

[Magpie_in_aus]

Didn't see the Semi but man we looked in control of that final. Well done on the double!

[Tim]

Anyone know the attendance for the three days?

[ACT Crusader]

Fantastic discipline by our boys. Not just in not giving away penalties (or YCs) but keeping our shape on both sides of the ball.

We’ve got speed and a bit of steel in the middle of the park.

Curry well deserved MOTM. He was staunch in defence again.

Awesome stuff to get the double double.

[Stargazer]

Very impressive. Both the Black Ferns7s and All Blacks 7s have won gold at both the Commonwealth Games and the RWC.

I think some credit is due to the new men's coach, Clark Laidlaw. We had doubts at the beginning of the season, particularly around selections, and more improvement is definitely possible, but progress is more than noticeable. Having moved to a central base has most likely also benefited the team.

Something on Twitter that it exceeded 100K apparently

[Stargazer]

Why does the interviewer say "We're gonna miss you" at the end of the interview? Because the tournament is over, or is Ravouvou leaving?

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer I think he meant to say something like "i'm sure they miss you" and got his words mangled up.

[Mokey]

Have to say, it was awesome to be able to livestream this on Duke.

Was pleasantly surprised how dominant the AB7s were in the final. Great attack, and even better great discipline, not giving away bloody stupid penalties or dodgy tackles etc. A few times they were a bit lax on defence, letting the English guys make more metres than they should have, but on the whole a really great performance. Party in the trophy cabinet - standing room only!
