2023 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Just in case it comes down to points differential again, I'd be grateful if the Pumas7s scored a few more tries against Spain (and lose to us).

[Stargazer]

That didn't happen.

FT: Argentina 26 - 0 Spain

Now AB7s v Kenya. A must-win already.

[Stargazer]

Not a good game, thus far.

HT: AB7s 7 - 5 Kenya

[Stargazer]

Much better 2nd half now. Tries to Solo and Leo.

19 - 5 NZ

3 and half minutes to go.

Looking strong in scrums and on D leading to a couple of tries.

Quite impressed with the 5 mins I've seen.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to Brady Rush. Nice dummy.

26 - 5 NZ

Half a minute to go.

[Stargazer]

Final try scored by Caleb Tangitau.

FT: NZ 31 - 5 Kenya

Better game from the AB7s. Some solid defence.

[Stargazer]

The AB7s game against Argentina is obviously a must-win as well, because Spain - despite its much worse points differential - is still sitting higher on the table than NZ, because they won the head-to-head.

[Stargazer]

The next NZ games are:

12.03am: BF7s v Fijiana
1.48am: AB7s v Argentina

[Bovidae]

This game showed that NZ needs to move forward with the young players.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Agree, although one of their best was/is Sam Dickson. Rokolisoa very good, too.

[Stargazer]

Last week's runners-up, Ireland, just lost to newbies Uruguay. Ireland played a large part of the 2nd half with 6 players, due to one of their players receiving his 2nd yellow card.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer The red card came half way through the first half and then there was the two minutes with only five players as well right near the end.

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Yes, you're right!

I can see Kenya beating Spain and NZ getting through in a 3 way count back for second.

[Stargazer]

Fijiana first to score. That came mostly down to speed.

0 -7 Fijiana

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to Blyde. The Fijiana chasers were faster, but her head-start was big enough.

7 all

[Stargazer]

Blyde got hurt in scoring and goes off. Doesn't look like an injury that will take her out of the tournament.

[Stargazer]

Another try to Fijiana. They're so much faster. We don't have an answer to that pace. Beautiful stepping, too.

14 - 7 Fijiana

[Stargazer]

Ikenasio scores NZ's 2nd try. A good team try.

HT: NZ 12 - 14 Fijiana
