2016 World Sevens Series

[Crucial]

<p>BTW we are facing AUS in the semi as they came back against the Scots to win 24-17</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Titch is playing with ideas a bit and not forecasting his Olympics gameplan too much either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was very keen on Pulu for a while and using a sniping halfback. Will be interesting to see how much Ben Lam's withdrawal affects the plan.</p>

[Crucial]

<p>Roughly 1130 NZT for the semi.</p>

[Crucial]

<p>Into the final v SA with a win over Oz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Quadey couldn't save them.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Great game from Kaka. Showed he has some fast wheels!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>That new lad Molia is pretty good, too! Had never heard of him before this tournament.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>NZ 28 - 19 Aus</p>

[Bovidae]

<p>Stowers did his best to let Aust back into the game before HT.  Molia or Ware should start in the final.</p>

[Crucial]

<p>Molia looks most effective later in games when he can target tired defenders</p>

[antipodean]

<p>after losing to Canada, Australia regroup to beat Fiji for third place 19 - 12</p>

<p>I watched the game vs USA and was pleasantly surprised with our stoic defence (until the last play)</p>
<p>Just refused to let the USA do anything meaningful with the ball, and managed to keep Perry Baker out until the very last second.</p>
<p>Had Rasta ref not been sat on his arse in the 2nd half, we would have scored another try. But hey.</p>
<p>A bloody good effort without any real stars and an aging DJ Forbes..</p>

<p> </p>
<p>It cracked me up when the US coach told his players at halftime 'they've got no wheels!'.</p>
<p>Yep. Nailed it, you pommy git.</p>

[rustycruiser]

<p>Didn't look grounded, but I'll take it! :whistle:</p>

[rustycruiser]

<p>NZ says eff that, and scores twice.</p>

[Glath]

<p>Goal kicking is so much better with Kaka back.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Geez, Kaka was good in that first half!</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>Kaka not kaka at kicking...</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Beautiful restart. I recall Fiji destroying New Zealand by dominating the restarts.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>New Zealand appear to be developing their power oriented defensive game.</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Tackling slightly high killing the Blitzbokke</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>What's the score please?</p>

[Nepia]

<p>14-7 to NZ</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Harsh penalty - Kaka falling into that.</p>

[antipodean]

<p>Nice time to go wide and Ormond scores in the corner.</p>

[Hooroo]

<p>Oh! Just found feed.  That must be the win?</p>
