2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[MiketheSnow]

GB wing (the big one) was the difference

Her positional play and defence was woeful

Gave France way too much time and room

France really should have had a yellow for continued infringement in that last minute or two

[NTA]

China v Not-Russia away for 7th place

Purple hair scores for Not-Russia and are up 5-zip then another one on a power pick n go in contact.

10-zip

[NTA]

Yellow card to Not-Russia on halftime. Bit harsh given the standard to date.

China call scrum and score + convert to have it 10-7

[NTA]

Great try through hands to China against 6 to go up 12-10.

[NTA]

Great 1-2 ball off the ruck for China to go in again.

China 17-10 Not-Russia with 3 to go

[Crucial]

What’s with the lack of playing advantage from these refs.
Blowing the whistle while the infringed team has the ball in a broken play situation.
Are they told to avoid advantage so there isn’t wasted time or something?

[NTA]

Fuck the ref has decided to be a total cop on the yellow cards. Have they woken up on foul play?

[NTA]

@crucial it's the yellow cards in this case.

But the change around in refereeing is fucking weird.

China have won this

The reffing has just been so inconsistent through the tournament. Players must have no idea where the boundaries are.

[NTA]

China's main attribute is accuracy - their handling in this match in particular was great. Mostly their tackling is low and driving. Grab a few volleyball and soccer hopefuls and skill them up, they could do well

Ball handling skills are among the best.

Let's see if we've learned anything for the USA game.

As an amusing side point: both the men's and women's coaches are being retained to the next Olympics 🤣 ah fuck RA ... You slay me...

[Crucial]

Oz should get Maneti coaching the Wobblies. You might even win fattest coach.

He left his pies to Foster.

[NTA]

Again we aren't going for much ruck work - trying to run them around.

[NTA]

We are half a step off pace here. Plays into USA hands

[NTA]

Caslick once again giving bad passes in midfield

Kick through option good. Just not quite infield enough.

[NTA]

Disagree there - no attempt to gain possession. Should be yellow against Australia

[NTA]

Nearly fucked it at the back of the scrum. But some great lines and passing set up the try to Nathan.

Australia 5-0 USA with 30 seconds to halftime
