Fiji are allowed to high tackle in 7s too, yay!

If that was BOK refereeing: red card.

Don't you even Damon go there Murphy

I'll see your Murphy and raise you a Doleman.

Previously the commentator said it was cos they grow up on hard grounds so don't like to go low. Oh that's ok then

That'll be on smashed em bro

Well that ended slightly better than I thought. Thank goodness for Korea to give us a shot at the Quarters.

Bovidae

What a gutsy win by the Argies.

We've seen what a lottery the refs are in sevens when you compare how Doleman and Evans officiated the breakdown.

Tomorrow's men's schedule in Japanese time (NZT = Japanese time + 3 hours)

Why are there play-offs for 5-8, etc, in the Olympics?
Any reason other than the broadcasting Yen?

Beating Argentina by 21 could turn out important. That extra time score valuable

Lol like you're not about to pants Australia by 20

The ABs sevens for the last half a dozen years had been a team of spectacular bed shitting, see Vs Japan last Olympics

Yeah, nah. On an upward trend to be fair. Won the Comm Games convincingly, and are current (2019) World Series champs.

@bones Totally agree Evans is a rubbish ref.

@booboo Imagine how marvellous we would be with someone with some out and out speed. Would love an isles, Norton or Senatla

F*ck off with your spider cam. It makes me dizzy.

Terrible for live play (might be ok for replays if they could keep the ball in play and give you some idea of where the defence may be leaving gaps ). Screams that the producer is a rugby novice. That and the knee level can at lineout.

Also World Champions.

Bonus point loss should see us through

Weirdly I saw a tweet this morning saying we had already qualified and was about to tweet back that nah we hadn't ... but then I crunched the numbers, to make sure I didn't say something even more stoopid than normal, and we had. Even if our points diff went skewiff.

All moot by a game and a half now, but we qualified for QFs yesterday.

Was driving much of the day and tried out SENZ on the tellingbone. Mark Stafford had interview with a sprint coach (forget his name) who works with both 7s teams.

Said that the blokes top speeds were all within 1-1.5km/h of each other. (Didn't say what that speed actually was though).
