    Ireland are becoming powerhouses in 7s with second place in the mens and fourth spot in the womens. A remarkable effort considering they weren't even on the circuit a year or two back.

    Next games:

    Men's 9th place semi-final:
    9:50pm: AB7s v Spain

    Has there ever been 100 points racked up in a World Series 7s game?

    Spain aren't that good.

    Didn't Spain beat us last time? But 100 points against us is a ridiculous suggestion.

    So the AB7s lost only one game (to Australia) and won 5. True, that loss made them end up in a part of the competition with weaker opponents and they didn't have to play the likes of Fiji, but still. One loss isn't as bad as a 9th place suggests.

    Great that the BF7s beat the Aussies in the Final. I hope I can find out when and where to watch a replay.

    The BF7s only played two of this year's 6 tournaments and still finished 5th in the final Series standings with one silver and one bronze. That's a fantastic result. I wonder why they didn't organise another women's tournament, like they've done for the men, who play 9 tournaments, this year?

    @Stargazer I was looking for a replay of the final myself. Prime has the last 2 hours on soon (10:30 am - 1 pm).

    Just watched that BF7s gold medal win. Awesome game. So patient when needed. Brazier and Hirini were fantastic.

    Still, that young Aussie player (I forgot her name) catching Blyde, who isn't exactly slow ... The Aussies have a good young talent in her.

    Hotham playing really well to be starting now. Pouri-Lane can look brilliant and then makes stupid errors (e.g. kick-offs that don't go 10 m).

    @Bovidae Hotham's decision-making has improved. Pouri-Lane has thus far been in the shadow of Nathan-Wong, so maybe not getting enough opportunties. Both still very young, so they have time.

    I've lost track a bit of all newbies. I'm hoping for them to find a real speedster soon. The future replacement of Blyde, who is 26 and Woodman, who is 30. I'm thinking of the next Olympics and speed like than young Aussie ...

    Maddison Levi is her name. She is basically the same height as women's XV locks.

    Aust have gone for youth as the bulk of their squad is 21 or younger.

    Hmm, looked like a knock on from the Aussies, but they're allowed to score.

    Awesome try from Brady Rush, but that was all Sam Dickson's work.

    Try Carter. AB7s take back the lead. They should try to score closer to the posts, because the goal kicking isn't good. It doesn't matter now. Time is up.

    FT: AB7s 24 - 19 Australia
