2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[NTA]

NZ very deserved winners, all that said.

World Rugby need to put some serious money into developing referees, particularly ex-players who can move to whistle duties

Best game of the tourney for us

Dirty French women.

I'll take your word for it. Bloody lockdown.

[Bovidae]

Hirini was immense in the SF and final.

[taniwharugby]

Sport can be both amazing and cruel at the same time!

Commiserations France, awesome NZ

Looked bloody terrifying in that headband

[Bones]

That also puts us above France in the medal table doesn't it?

Awesome work girls! Some brain farts under pressure were definitely helped by getting the rub of the reffing green...

Is TJ the commentator on the international 'neutral ' feed?

[NTA]

@taniwharugby nah the frogs are dancing and cheering now. Considering they came from nowhere to grab silver, that's pretty good

You could tell that it hurt to lose, but then in their huddle the realisation that they had won silver took over. Great scenes.

well said fella. I'd settle for 'mediocre' in refereeing now. I think there's investment needed in both games; lift the standard significantly

[booboo]

Ripppppaaaaa

[taniwharugby]

@act-crusader yeah thats what I was gettign at, initial emotion was telling, but once they have time to reflect, the pain will ease somewhat

[antipodean]

Surprise packages of the tournament for me were Fiji, France and Australia. Two of them have improved out of sight and one has fallen of a cliff.

[sparky]

Can TJ retire now then?

[Tordah]

Well done to the Black Ferns, thought they were the better team, but referee was certainly not having any friends betting on France today. Shouldn't distract from what was a great tournament for the Ferns.

[ARHS]

Wonderful performance ladies. I thought Gayle Broughton's tryscoring finish in the corner was the moment of the sevens tournaments. Josh Addo Carr eat your heart out.
