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.
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. -
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
sleepingbusy at the time of the game:BF7s 60 - 0 Sri lanka
AB7s 19 - 17 SamoaDid 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!

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. -

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

I wonder if the Ugandan supporters will argue that the ref strictly followed protocols....

@canefan No.
Hopefully we can follow Fijiana's lead. They were too strong

@Stargazer Not just footwork. Loved the fend and the changing of the ball under the arm.
