2023 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Wow, South Africa knocked out by France in the Cup QFs (22 - 17). Now both table-topping teams will drop in the standings.

If the AB7s win their QF, they'll play France in the semis.

[Stargazer]

What is happening in Hamilton? Could Fiji be next to be knocked out? Argentina currently leading 19 - 5. Two and half minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Fiji score, but it's too late. They're out. Crazy.

FT: Fiji 10 - 19 Argentina

[Higgins]

Well there goes the buzz from the crowd that the Fijian supporters always bring. If the NZ team can't win this tournament now after the departure of both SA and Fiji then surely there must be an invitation from Mr. Robinson to Mr. Laidlaw reminding him of the address of the NZRFU so that his resignation letter does not go astray.

Anyone seen that rugby town tv series? Cross over atheletes learning rugby in Glendale. David Still in The USA team came throgh thst system.

[Stargazer]

@mikedogz Haven't seen that series, but I understand that the American Raptors will have some of those crossover players in their squad for Super Rugby Americas.

[Crucial]

Straya knocked out now as well.

[Stargazer]

The USA do what their 4th place in the standings requires; they beat 6th place Australia 26 - 14.

Now the AB7s ... no surprises, please!

[Stargazer]

Not a good start. Ireland scores a length-of-the-field try.

0 - 5 Ireland

[Stargazer]

Try Sam Dickson! Great break of Rokolisoa in the lead-up.

5 all

[Stargazer]

That's the half time score.

[Stargazer]

Collier gets yellow.

[Bones]

This ref is fucked

[Stargazer]

@Bones Yep. That yellow was ridiculous.

[KiwiMurph]

Collier pisses around and gets caught passing and then concedes a card.

Awful.

[Stargazer]

C'mon, bring on some youngesters. Haven't seen Solo, yet.

[Stargazer]

Yes, finally! Try Brady Rush.

10 - 5 AB7s

[Steven Harris]

They get the job done but this NZ team is so lacking in game awareness, quick tap into traffic with no support 🤦🏻‍♂️ , we really have haven’t found a game manager since Amosia Valance

[ACT Crusader]

Good patience to close it out.

[KiwiMurph]

Great final restart from NMB
