Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

[Bovidae]

Koroi has been ordinary this season. Knewstubb's defence is woeful too.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Molia has been very disappointing, too. Probably the worst of them all, this weekend. McGarvey-Black and Dickson not convincing either and Clarke quite invisible. Ng Shiu a mixed bag.

[Bovidae]

@stargazer Yeah, Molia was terrible last night. Collier has made a difference when he has come on in both games.

[Tim]

How has ENS played?

[Stargazer]

@tim Last night, the same as the others: bad tackling. Haven't seen him in this game; if he played, he was invisible.

HT: Fijiana 0 - 12 Oceania 7s women

[Bovidae]

They have 19 players in the squad but only 12 can play each game. ENS wasn't in the 12 vs Fiji.

Curry is obviously injured again.

[Stargazer]

FT: Fijiana 21 - 12 Oceania 7s women

Now: BF7s v Aussie 7s

[Stargazer]

Great defence by the BF7s. Forcing the Aussie's back and then the error.

[Stargazer]

Awesome attack! This is looking really good. Try time!

Also good to see Nathan-Wong back on the field.

5 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

I'm almost sure I saw a burning trail following Blyde. The speed!

BF7s 10 - 0 Aus

And now Tui goes over. Too easy.

HT: BF7s 17 - 0 Aussie women

[Stargazer]

Tui scores her 2nd.

22 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Casslick scores the first Aussie try. She still has speed!

BF7s lead 22 to 5. Not long to go.

[Stargazer]

Length of the field try to Shiray Kaka. Very good.

BF7s 29 - 5 Aussie 7s

[Stargazer]

And Kaka scores again!

Very good game of the BF7s. Very dominant. Promising for the Olympics!

FT: BF7s 34 - 5 Aussie 7s

Next and final round of games starts at 9.30pm.

[Bovidae]

Let's just say that the NZ women look much more polished than the men.

Ruby is always good for a F-bomb in the HT huddle.

[ARHS]

Thought Clarke was very ordinary today. Too slow to turn and seemingly lacking pace. Collier was great. We struggle without most of our first stringers.

[Crucial]

AB7s really need to up the brains level if they want to win big games.
Firstly if you are 7 down with the time nearly up and have the ball under control be patient and score close to the posts. Don’t throw a wild pass for a score in the corner.
Then when you get a penalty from the kick off tap and run a trained pattern instead of kicking to simply move 10 metres up field and run the risk of losing a lineout.
then when you get the ball and win a penalty know what you are going to do. There were players signaling for a scrum then all looking at each other.
Kick was rubbish but probably a good option if you had faith in the kicker. We never place enough value on the drop kick as a skill and I’ve lost count of the number of times that his bit us.

Fiji 19 v Aussie 7s men: 19 - 7

AB7s v Oceania 7s next.

[Stargazer]

It took them more than 4 minutes, but finally the AB7s score against this Aussie B/C side. Mikkelson still has speed.

7 - 0 NZ
