Get the broom out on this NZ Sevens side, most of these players are past it.
This is a shit comment. The team won silver and we should be proud of them
They just did not deliver in the final. -

Congrats to the NZ 7s boys. Silver is a great achievement and whilst disappointed, feeling pretty proud to get to the big dance.
Yep, all things considered Silver is a lot further into the tournament than we might have got. And significantly further than the more illustriously coached and selected 2016 side too.

Laidlaw's team for the final highlighted his lack of ambition. Time for a cleanout now with some young blood.
I don’t begrudge Laidlaw going with some of the faithful to the Olympics, but now will provide an opportunity for a refresh.

The Silver is a great achievement because I thought we wouldn't even get to the final with the squad we had.
All I'm saying is before the next Olympics I think this Sevens side needs an overhaul. But fair point, probably too early to bring that up.
Well played Fiji.

Ugo Monye is a fucken moron.
NZ has won the world 7s series more than anyone so why can they not convert that to the Olympics?
Oh yeah it's the Olympics 7s series is it you dick?
Monye's a bitter twit who got his backside kicked many times by NZ sides. He's also a terrible pundit.
I didn't know Scottish BBC presenter Hazel Irvine was married to a Kiwi before.

@act-crusader I was referring mainly to Warbrick missing out to Baker in the 12. The former could have provided some power and pace off the bench. No idea what Baker adds to the team.

Was that the clown commentating? He should get a medal for the achievement of being worse than TJ.

The question for me was that the best available squad? It's inexplicable that Webber kept getting starts after making so many errors in every game.

Congratulations to Fiji , really well deserved and given what the country is going through , it will be the perfect tonic for many of their people
From a NZ piece ,
Hope we don’t hear all the palava about having the best rugby players being available, there’s very good rugby players and there is specialist 7s players .
I think many of these players in this group are coming to an end and have been great servants to NZ Sevens, I am a bit disappointed that the coaching staff did not start with a couple of youngsters , on saying that during this tournament we have been rocks diamonds and the defence was found wanting when it really counted .. -

Oh nah he was a pundit on BBC. That commentator usually does the 7s circuit too, he's also a fluffybunny.
