Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

[Stargazer]

Ruby Tui playing very well; she scores a try of her own. Power.

17 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Awesome. Blyde again!
It's a pity that Nathan-Wong left her kicking boots at home. Again no conversion.

HT: BF7s 22 - 0 Fijiana

[Stargazer]

I walk away from my screen for a second, come back, and it appears Fijiana have scored.

22 - 5 BF7s

[Stargazer]

And another one!

Did the BF7s make many changes after half time?

22 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Blyde almost in again. Ankle tap stops her.
Not much later, Woodman scores another one.
Of course, Nathan-Wong misses the conversion again.

27 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Oh, Ruby Tui with blood all over her face. Literally her whole face!

FT: BF7s 27 - 12 Fijiana

Good game from the BFs, despite a little dip early in the 2nd half. Biggest point of criticism is the goal kicking.
Fijiana not bad at all.

[Stargazer]

By the looks of it, Tui got a boot in her face. Has a cut on her forehead. Hopefully no concussion.

[Bovidae]

That was the likely first choice 7 for the Black Ferns and then Broughton comes off the bench. If can't remember seeing Brazier play though.

[Stargazer]

Aussie women much better in this game, than previous games. Maybe they also finally getting close to playing their best squad?

The last round of games is a final scenario, so we'll see who plays and how it goes.

[ARHS]

Fascinating stuff. Standard for the women is very high. Whole nz squad great. Madison Levi for Oceania is an exciting find too.
But rhythm is lacking with our men. I like what Rokolisoa adds though alongside MGB. They rely hugely on Timmy Collier and NG Shiu to dominate the breakdowns. Really hope they play our top 7 in the last game else Fiji will be far too good. Big tussle for the second flier spot behind Ware. Warbrick needs more urgency to push ahead of Clarke and Molia who both need improved defensive reads.

[ARHS]

Oh and what an athlete Michael Blyde is!

[Stargazer]

Just missed the line-up, but heard the commentator say that Kurt Baker will play his first game of the weekend. Does this make sense as preparation for the Olympics, that a player gets only one game?

[Stargazer]

Great try from Fiji. Jerry Tuwai is a class apart.

0 - 5 Fiji

[Stargazer]

Poor defence from the AB7s cost them again. Molia one of the culprits again; Collier got his man close to the try line, but the Fijian player could still place the ball and one of his team mates scored. Based on this weekend's performance, Molia shouldn't make the squad. Collier should.

0 - 12 Fiji

[Stargazer]

Hmmm, not sure the ref got it right there. Anyway, another try to Fiji.

0 -17 Fiji

[Stargazer]

Kurt Baker scores the first NZ try. Rokolisoa converts.

7 - 17 Fiji

[Stargazer]

Baker already off. Eleven minutes all he gets?

[Stargazer]

So close to the Fijian try line, and they knock on! Typical for the weekend.

[Stargazer]

Oh ff off, ref. That was a good tackle. Fiji gets the penalty.

[ploughboy]

nz7 were average ref was average
