2023 World Sevens Series

[ARHS]

Top performance NZ. Tangitau was great and love the energy from Carter. Rokolisoa is back to his best too. And Leo is quick! Sweating on the count back now I guess. Or just hope Argentina beats a laid back Fijian team

[Stargazer]

Why is the AB7s v Uruguay game not televised?

[Stargazer]

FT: AB7s 35 - 5 Uruguay

Not sure that will be enough if Fiji beats Argentina.

Edit: I was wrong. The AB7s are already through, because if Fiji wins with a margin big enough to pass NZ on points differential, then the Argies' points differential will be smaller than NZ's.

[Stargazer]

FT: Fiji 17 - 12 Argentina

Argentina and NZ go through to the Cup QFs. Fiji to play for 9th place.

[Stargazer]

Cup QFs

6.00pm: Black Ferns 7s v Great Britain

8.12pm: All Blacks 7s v France

[Stargazer]

Geez, Aussies have 2 men in the bin now.

[Stargazer]

That has cost the Aussies 12 points.

[Stargazer]

Great game between Australia and South Africa. The Aussies are already through; South Africa must win to go through. It's 12 all.

[Stargazer]

And South Africa scores! 19 -12

[Stargazer]

That's the final score!

Great Britain drops out of the Cup schedule.

Arg beating NZ 19-14 at HT

And 31 - 28 at FT.

That started well.

Laidlaw worries me. Not producing.

Then I think I heard he wasn't at this tournament. ???

If that's the case we lost to Arg because he is the coach and responsible for our poor performance, and we beat Fiji and made the quarters because he wasnt there.

I believe that logic is applicable on TSF.

[Stargazer]

@booboo Yep, they said Laidlaw isn't in Dubai because he had passport/visa issues and that Tomasi Cama is in charge of the team in Dubai.

[Stargazer]

HT: BF7s 7 - 5 Great Britain

Entertaining first half. Some good try savers by both sides.

[Stargazer]

The Black Ferns 7s do the business in the second half and progress to the semis.

FT: BF7s 22 - 5 Great Britain

The senior players clearly keeping the Ferns on track; Mahina Paul probably the best of the (relatively) new players.

[Stargazer]

And the Aussie men are out! Upset! The USA go through to the semis.

FT: USA 24 - 19 Oz

Now the AB7s v France!

[Stargazer]

HT: AB7s 5 - 0 France

NZ defending well, but making some mistakes on attack. Ng Shiu's try was great.

[canefan]

Great solo try NZ 12-0

[Machpants]

[KiwiMurph]

Really impressive performances by the AB 7s.

France pinged off of the pitch.

Throwing the ball away.
