This Samoa team is going to be dangerous! Dark horse for the title?

I only caught the last minute, but this England team of no names look dreadful. About half a dozen opportunities blown in 60 seconds. All they needed to do at the ruck steal was one pass and fall over the line and couldn't even do that!

[Stargazer]

@booboo Yeah, that was the full-time score.

[ACT Crusader]

England keeping their powder dry…

[Stargazer]

[Bones]

Yuuuuuuck. Bloody Foster.

ABs disjointed and trying hero plays.

[Bones]

Holy shit that was slick! Grubber through and try.

17-7 Samoa leading.

[Bones]

Holy shit that was a bad call. Not releasing the tackled player AND off their feet.

[Frye]

Gas from Tangitau

[booboo]

We'll take that. Saw the last 5 minutes.

Why kick to touch on that last penalty though? Tap it and run the click down. Very nearly went pear shaped.

[booboo]

7+ App looks like it's ahead of you guys ...

19-17 final to the good guys

Yeah just tap and run backwards! Great comeback.

That’s the good thing about sevens. Odds of hanging on to the ball for 20+ seconds about the same as losing a lineout. Much easier to be deemed isolated, more contest for the ball, mistakes heavily punished...
How many times have we seen that scenario of trying to hold the ball end up n a penalty, a march down the field and a loss. At least the line out chewed up most of the clock so it was just win possession and boot it out.

[Frye]

Great tackle from Curry to finish it.

If our top guys stay fit we're a good shout.

[Stargazer]

So, I see that both our men and women won their second game.

Because no one posted the results, I'll do it for others who were still sleeping busy at the time of the game:

BF7s 60 - 0 Sri lanka
AB7s 19 - 17 Samoa

Did anyone watch the game of the Aussie men v Uganda? I see the final score is 12 all. Two yellow cards for Australia during that game. I hope that South African referee wasn't just as bad as Rasta!

[Stargazer]

Third game:

9.06pm NZT: BF7s v England
10.34pm NZT: AB7s v England

That Samoa result sounded pretty tight. I hope it's because they are good, not because we aren't so great

Samoa came out full guns, smashing everything that moved hard but also being accurate with ball in hand. Looked awesome. Couldn’t sustain that full on level for the whole game though and had banked on creating a lead then hanging on. Our guys worked their way back into the game and used Tangitau’s youthful energy to crack them.
Turning point was probably the grubber through to score just before half time. Had Samoa second guessing their all out defensive press with no sweeper.

They smashed England 34-0

[Dice]

What side of the draw is Fiji?

Been trying to figure out who are the likely QF match-ups, but can't find anything.

Was a shocker from the ref. Bad calls against Australia all game.
