2019-2020 World Sevens Series

Stargazer

That Aussie knock-on was a typical example of a mistake forced by NZ pressure. Yet, the commentators call NZ lucky. Luck had nothing to do with it.

Stargazer

YC to Aussie player for a tip tackle on Clarke.

Stargazer

Try Mikkelson. He could have run closer to the sticks ...

Stargazer

Great conversion McGarvey-Black.

19 - 14 NZ with 3 minutes to go.

Stargazer

Another mistake, another Aussie try. Shit refereeing before that though. Should have been NZ ball.

No conversion.

21 - 19 NZ with 1 minute and 20 sec to go.

Stargazer

Turnover Molia. That could be it.

Stargazer

Yes, bronze it is! It was a close one. Don't care about the medal, but do care about the points it's worth.

FT: New Zealand 21 - 19 Australia

Machpants

Yeah close! thanks for the updates, keeps us ahea of SA on the table, even if they win, I think

Stargazer

Don't agree with some of the refereeing in this game. Fiji hard done by there at the end of the first half.

HT Fiji 19 - 7 South Africa

Higgins

@Stargazer Lets be quite brutally honest, some of the refereeing seen at this tournament has been bewildering at best, and that's being kind.

Stargazer

Great try from the Blitzbokke. This game isn't over yet!

19 - 12 Fiji

Stargazer

@Higgins Yeah, I think Craig Evans is a terrible ref, but this time it was the AR's call.

Stargazer

And Fiji strike back. Not great ball handling there, but a try nvertheless.

24 - 12 Fiji with 2 minutes to go.

Stargazer

Another try to SA, but only one chance left to get extra time.

24 - 17 Fiji with time up. Restart ...

Stargazer

Oh no, yellow to Fiji for high tackle! Will likely be decisive.

Stargazer

Try SA! Everything depends on the conversion. No pressure!

24 - 22 Fiji with the conversion to come ...

Stargazer

The kick is good! It's 24 all. We're going to extra time.

Golden point ...

Hooroo

Try SA! Everything depends on the conversion. No pressure!

24 - 22 Fiji with the conversion to come ...

How difficult was the conversion?

Stargazer

Medium.

Stargazer

Wow, SA score the try and win the tournament. Didn't see that coming after Fiji's 19 - 0 lead in the first half.

Fiji's ill-discipline cost them the win, although some of the referee's calls were 50/50.
