2016 World Sevens Series

[Stockcar86]

<p>Dodgy Yarpie ref as well - that was a penalty for holding on at the start of the game, no try for France</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>Meh all 7s refs are usually rubbish - there's only been one team in this game.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>Wrong game to experiment playing all the kids</p>

[No Quarter]

Piss poor display from our boys, could hardly string a pass together all game.

[Stargazer]

<p>Well, that was embarrassing! Losing 24-0 to France. If they continue to play like this, it's only to get worse against Canada & USA.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>The term 'lucky to get nil' comes to mind.</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>NZ losing to France wasn't the only upset of the first pool games at the Singapore 7s :</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Australia lost to Argentina (7-12)</p>
<p>Wales lost to Japan (19-26)</p>
<p>Fiji lost to Samoa (14-28)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>NZ plays Canada at 6.05pm.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>NZ up 17-0 vs CAN</p>

[barbarian]

<p>Think a lot of the big guns have taken the chance to rest players for this one, so these results aren't too surprising.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really open for the Blitzbokke here.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>So we can expect to hear from JAF then!</p>

[Stargazer]

<p>Half time: NZ leads 24-0. Playing much better this game.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

<p>NZ have barely touched the ball this half.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>rubbish 2nd half by NZ and it's 24-17</p>

[Higgins]

<p>The Frogs are now giving the Yanks a big hurry up, leading 19 - 12 midway through the second half</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>If my maths are correct, we'll play the yanks at 9.48 pm to decide the 2nd qualifying spot.</p>

[Higgins]

<p>You are assuming that the Canucks don't tips the Frogs over  and the way results are going today that is not an impossibility.</p>

<p>Doesn't matter too much in terms of the two qualifiers does it? The Frogs are already through and the Canucks are already out.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>NZ with a great first half, leading 19-0 vs the USA. Looking very good so far</p>

[Higgins]

<p>We're looking good to go through with the score of NZ 19 - 00 USA at halftime. The prize being a match up with Sth Africa in the quarter finals.</p>

<br>
Quarter final against South Africa going to go a long way towards determining the overall winner of the series this year.<br><br>
Especially if Fiji don't make it.
