2018-2019 World Sevens Series
-
So AB7s without Scott Curry (ankle) and Dylan Collier (hamstring), who have been replaced in the playing squad by Scott Gregory and Amanaki Nicole (Trael Joass coming in as travelling reserve instead of Gregory).
If I'm correct, we'll meet Fiji in the semis if NZ, Fiji, USA and South Africa all top their pools after day 1 and win their Cup QFs.

Full time: 29 - 0 to the Black Ferns 7s.
Great game to watch. England's defence was good, but the Ferns were so patient and just didn't allow the English girls to get into the game. Good show of strength from players like Waaka, Baker and Fitzpatrick today, and - of course - top speed from Blyde. She's a machine! Great stepping from Broughton & Nathan-Wong would do well for the Football Ferns, too.

Girls get up over Canada affer a bit of a battle in QF.
Nathan-Wong looks to be injury trouble though.

Gotta love a Fijian offload -

FT: AB7s 28 - 5 France
Through to the semi-final v Fiji at 6.16pm.
@KiwiMurph Gregory has an excellent legdrive; it's very hard to stop him when he goes for a run with the ball. Ng Shiu has indeed improved.
I hope the coach doesn't do the same thing as last week in the SF and starts the wrong players. Knewstubb should definitely start and not Koroi. Apart from his speed, Koroi hasn't impressed lately. Knewstubb is so much better.
Ware should start, too, and Mikkelson if he's able to play. I'm still not sold on Ravouvou.
