2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

NTA

Japan 31 - 19 ROK.

Fairly decent game - neither of these teams suffocated anyone on defence, and ROK clearly are rookies at this level.

@nta i think id rather he gave everyone an extra second and allowed that half meter to allow it to flow a bit rather than just blowing everything up in the microsecond it happens

and my understanding was you're allowed a motion to place the ball behind ya, dont count that as an extra

Yes you are, but if someone is right there who is NOT the tackler, they are fully allowed to grab the ball.

Kiwiwomble

@nta exactly...but they weren't getting pinged for not releasing...they were getting pinged for an extra roll, which i dont feel they were

Kenya 7-0 up at halftime against ireland in an error-riddled 7 minutes of rugby.

So much dropped ball, but it's fucking 31C and humid

Kiwiwomble

wasn't the kenyan on his knees when he picked that up and passes it?

Consistency

Conroy is not as fast as he used to be.

Which is what it is, technically speaking.

Oh Kenya fuck the kickoff badly but Ireland fuck it again and that's the game.

Ireland about to get blanked.

NTA

aaaaand Ireland drop it.

So Kenya walloped Ireland.

Canada v USA 14-all on fulltime with a restart happening.

Yellow card to Canada after Barrett breaks up the field on restart. Fark he's a unit.

7 on 6 with time gone. Scrum USA. Isles breaks down the side and gets yelled at to just put the fucking thing down.

USA through 21-14.

Canada did well to be in that carrying the muppet in the 13 shirt.

Crucial

RSA v AUS

I haven't understood the AUS use (lack of) with Kerevi. Is he so unfit that he can only play 2 minutes at a time?

Anyway RSA up 1 try.

NTA

Longbottom with yet another fucked kickoff. These are basics...

antipodean

Australia start with a fundamental error. What is with all the poor kicking in 7s?

antipodean

That was too easy. Australia with four players within a couple of metres of the ruck,. South Africa with a training ground draw and pass to the winger.

Does Australia have a coach?

Walsh got lucky with the women's gig in 2016.

Crucial

That was propelledoff the knees surely. You can reach but not lift yourself up and push off.
