What's up with this inexperienced England team? I don't recognise anyone except Bowen.
Exactly that. bunch of nobodies.
But man I love the reffing in 7s, hands touch the ground before the ball, penalty
Watching the way our 7s guys approach the breakdown and the calculated way they make a tackle to put themselves in a position to then immediately compete for the ball makes me somewhat depressed about the ABs
-
Nobody watching?
NZ take lead 12-5 just on the break after being down 5-nil early.
-
Portia playing and moving ok
-
Just the conversion separating them now.
-
Too many penalties given away
-
Aah poop
-
Nup. Poor defence.
-
Bugger.
Go Fiji...
-
Good match
That Aussie winger is a gun
-
Regan ware scores AB7s second try. 12-0 to the good guys at the break.
-
31-0. Convincing.

Question, and it's probably been mentioned ( @Stargazer ?), and I can make a guess as to the reason ...
... but why do the chicks go straight to Semi Finals, but the blokes have QFs?
Insufficient competitive Commonwealth teams in women's comp?

A numbers game. The quarters would be a bit meaningless as you'd have the third placed pool teams.

That's kinda the point of my last question. Not enough to make 16 competitive teams?
I obviously didn't take any interest in the comp set up.
Only two pools of 4...
New Zealand Australia
Canada Fiji
England Scotland
Sri Lanka South AfricaNo:
- Wales
- Tonga
- Samoa
I suspect any teams additional to them would be dubious quality.
