2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

@mikethesnow said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):

This ref has been paid off

I can't be bothered watching it because of that but from the few times I have watched momentarily it seems that they have women referees doing the womens matches. Could it be that the female refs are being selected to adjudicate because of their gender rather than their competence? I suppose you could say the same about the male refs in this particular tournament too!!!!!

Japan v Brazil is a good game.

Currently Brazil 14-12 with 3 to go

[NTA]

Brazil score again. 21-12 to Brazil and that will be the final score as Brazil suffocate the last Japan attack

[NTA]

Canada v Kenya

This should be a thrashing

[NTA]

Closer than I thought - Canada's discipline not great but they scrum well enough at the whistle to get into the sheds 12-5.

[NTA]

You can tell the teams with experience: they look to cut in from the outside decisively, where the newbies run laterally and telegraph it

[NTA]

Caslick has lost it. Some terrible decision making and execution not only here but in Townsville and Auckland

[NTA]

Too slow by Nathan on the wing and ROC get one back to be down 7-14

[NTA]

Tonegato shakes a defender and plus Australia 21-7 up.

Exemplifies my point about our individuals being saviours because our game management looks ordinary

[NTA]

FINALLY a decent short ball.

Was forward, but still better from us

[NTA]

Australia 35-7 Not-Russia

That was a great pass to put the Russian away.

WTF is with the standard of refereeing? Knock-ons and obvious forward passes missed/ ignored routinely.

[NTA]

@antipodean it's deplorable.

Get Rassie in here!

[NTA]

Alright. WW3 about to kick off as USA and China try to get into the 5-6 playoff

[NTA]

USA 7-7 China with 2 gone

[NTA]

USA hit back from 95 metres out to go up 14-7.

[NTA]

Ooh China kick ahead - good tactic against Thomas who just scored the long range try. Looking for grounding but it's no good. China will be kicking themselves.

[NTA]

Yellow card China for a high tackle. Could have been red. USA drop it go again and score.

Another forward pass missed in the leadup tho. Jeez.

USA 21-7 halftime. Big ask for China to get 3 scores from here with 6 players for 1 minute
