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.

nz7 were average ref was average

FT: AB7s 7 - 17 Fiji

Well-deserved win to Fiji, but the AB7s looked slightly better in this game. A bit unlucky with some decisions.

[Stargazer]

The two major points that aren't looking good for the AB7s are that they often lose the physical battles (except players like Collier and Mikkelson) and the handling errors. Defence looked slightly improved in this last game and they also showed more patientce.

The lack of physicality is difficult to address, but all other things they can and should work on. Can't see them get more than bronze though, if they win anything at all.

[Stargazer]

Awesome attack from the BF7s; Blyde scores the first try!
Nathan-Wong converts.

7 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Great try from the Aussies. No sweeper to defend, so lots of open space.

7 - 5 BF7s

[Stargazer]

BF7s respond immediately. Tui scores. Nathan-Wong can't convert.

12 - 5 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Awesomeness!! What a player Michaela Blyde is!

HT: BF7s 19 - 5 Aussie 7s

Fluhler dots down.

Nathan-Wong converts.

26 - 5 BF7s

Hell of an impact

The BF7s win the Oceania Sevens.

FT: BF7s 26 - 5 Aussie women

We'll only know exactly how good the BFs are when they've played the USA, France and Canada, but they're looking really good and I think their gold medal chances are high. Great team!

[Stargazer]

Haha, the BF7s have a new captain: Stacey Hirini. I wonder what Sarah Fluhler thinks about that?

Oh and what an athlete Michael Blyde is!

Her ability to stop on a dime and accelerate again is amazing. Throw in those steps and swerves she showed in the final, good luck tackling her.

That Baker guy is such a fuck head

He’s from Palmy, that explains everything.
