Look at the difference between Canada and ROC!
Same number of competition points (5), same points differential (-12), same try differential (-2). I assume the Russion go through based on number of points scored? So close!

What is the "GS" column?

EDIT: Answered by the bigger table above

Black Ferns, who are scheduled to play Russia in the first quarterfinal at 8.30pm. Although, given what we just saw, they're unlikely to have much of a problem making the semis.
The rest of the quarterfinals sees Fiji v Australia (9pm), USA v Great Britain (9.30pm) and France v China (10pm).

France and NZL will make it easy.

The other matches are up in the air. Fiji and GB for me

Canada thrash Brazil 45-0 after finding a way to unleash their strike weapons

More strange reffing Kenyan tackled deep and just holds the ball then stands up and passes it to a runner. Never released

@crucial World Series officiating is much stricter. It's almost as if they're trying to simplify things for the Olympics.

Quality of TJ is worse.

Now he's complaining about refs not calling the quick tap back 🙄

In a lot of cases they have BUT they're also ignoring the "coffee table" directive sometimes

Great finish. Both teams deserved a win

[Stargazer]

@nta I loved how the Kenyan players just didn't want to give up.

Black Ferns next, again against ROC.
