2018-2019 World Sevens Series

Fixed. Absolutely.

[Stargazer]

Seriously, I'm not one to complain about the ref, but this ref penalised the AB7s for things that didn't happen. Saw high tackles and offsides where they weren't, and because of the frequent penalties, he sent Ravouvou to the bin, when they were within 10m of the NZ try line. No surprises, the USA won.

FT: USA 24 - 19 NZ

[Stargazer]

@MajorRage Infuriating.

[ARHS]

Who was the referee then? That was an astounding series of calls!

[Stargazer]

@ARHS That same Welsh ref who always penalises the AB7s more than others, Craig Evans.

[MajorRage]

@Stargazer it was complete bollocks.

5 straight penalties - of which 2 has zero justification, 1 was dubious. The ref literally gave them 100 yards and anytime we looked to turnover he penalised us for nonsense.

The match was a fix. I’ll nevef be convinced otherwise.

[Stargazer]

I hope a miracle happens and the Samoans smash them in the final. The USA don't deserve to win this tournament.

[Stargazer]

By the way, Samoa crushed Argentina. 33 - 19. Hope they can play that well in the final.

[Stargazer]

The AB7s will play Argentina in the bronze final at 1.00pm.

[Stargazer]

Bronze Final:

HT: NZ 7 - 14 Argentina

[Stargazer]

19 all

[Stargazer]

26 - 19 NZ

[Stargazer]

That's the final score. The All Blacks 7s win bronze. Great impact from Molia.

[Machpants]

Go Samoa

[Stargazer]

A NZ ref officiating the final.

[Stargazer]

HT: USA 10 - 0 Samoa

[Stargazer]

Unfortunately, Samoa couldn't make it happen. USA win gold after beating Samoa 27 - 0.

.

The top 4 automatically qualify for the 2020 Olympics.

USA have fast become the 7s equivalent of Ireland in 15s for me.
