You get to beat us in the men's bronze game at least!

Battle of the brain explosions. Toole with a pearler of a tackle on one side then completely ignores his man when on the other side!

Didn't watch as I'm in bed now but assumed we would lose to the boks.

Boks men have looked the pick of the teams from what I’ve seen.

My assumption was based on the fact the officials pretty much ignore anything illegal they do 🤷‍♂️

@NTA so what did they do? They were far better then the Aussies.

1. Why did the ref play a scrum when he YC the first Kiwi?

2. Definite second YC for the late tackle

3. Should have looked at the high tackle against NZ in the lead up to the ‘double movement’

4. That was a try for me, not ‘double movement’

5. NZ self destructed

And here I was thinking it would be hard to be worse than Jordan Way today.

Gold will be the ultimate goodbye for the Blitsbok coach going to the Sharks.

[Stargazer]

Yessss, try to Blyde!

[Stargazer]

5 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

I hoped the BF7s would score more tries while Canada had a player in the bin. Canada back to 7 players now.

[Stargazer]

Haha, the BF7s are playing as if they have plane to catch. So fast. Try Brazier.

Nathan-Wong converts.

12 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Canada making so many mistakes. Throwing the ball into touch, dropping the ball. BF7s line-speed is great!

HT: BF7s 12 - 0 Canada

[Stargazer]

Great speed from Saili. Try time.
Pouri-Lane converts.

19 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Canada scores a similar try at the other end. Nice ankle tap from Hotham, but the Canadian still able to score.

19 - 7 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Holy shit. Canada score another one. There will be a restart.

19 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Time's up. The BF7s win bronze. Not the colour they, and we all, hoped for, but it's still a medal!

FT: BF7s 19 - 12 Canada

On the long hair thing: tbh it is like jumping into a tackle for me i.e. if you leave your hair out, you're asking for an infringement.

You're reducing the tackle area through an unskilled means. Mens or womens - put it up.

Agree. It would have been a huge ballsy call for a PT. We know that Portia would have likely scored but the ref can’t take the abilities of the player into account.

[Stargazer]

Now the men! C'mon, get another one.

[Stargazer]

Yuss, Leroy Carter scores the first try.

7 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Geez ref, swallow your whistle.

Australia scores. Good step from the Kiwi Aussie.

7 all
