2023 World Sevens Series

[Bones]

How the fuck do they ignore Solo being tackled well after he kicked it?

The standard of officiating is putting me off watching.

[Stargazer]

Bugger. A few mistakes too many. Well done Argentina.

it is for the AB7s.

FT: NZ 12 - 14 Argentina

The last 2 mins showed what is wrong with this team - a lack of speed with most of the older players. Laidlaw's selections are so poor.

Year after year the same problem.

[Stargazer]

@Bones I was wondering about that, too, but didn't want to say it haha.

[Steven Harris]

@Bovidae when they moved Baker on i thought a couple of others would follow , youth is the way to move forward .guys like weber and collier should have been moved on as well .

Collier annoys me, you don't want your biggest player getting bossed and run over in defence. How many missed tackles?

No idea why Webber remained on the field.

[Bovidae]

You can't have a game plan that has Dickson, Collier and Nicole playing out wide. They aren't beating anyone.

[Steven Harris]

@Bones Sam Dickson in the main was good but was also guilty of missing a couple of crucial one on one tackles when it mattered.

Looked clear as daylight to me, and it looked like the ref signalled something about that initially too - but the argie captain did his job harassing him and made him forget it.

Of the older players, Dickson has been great, Rokolisoa also good, but Collier and Webber shouldn't be in the squad, and Molia not more than a sub.

[Bovidae]

There needs to be a complete overhaul and refresh of half of the squad. It's like Laidlaw doesn't trust the younger players.

[Stargazer]

I wonder what the squad is going to look like when Andrew Knewstubb, Kitiona Vai, Scott Curry, Tim Mikkelson, Tone Ng Shiu and Tepaea Cook-Savage are all available, too.

Scott Curry and Ng Shiu will force some players out, but who? And who else will make the team and who'll lose their spot?

[Bovidae]

Was Leo injured or just the 13th player? We could have done with his speed.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae He got injured in the first game. I think Amanaki Nicole was the 13th player as he wasn't in the line-up for the first game.

We looked laboured when we went to the right side. Looked dangerous down the left though.

Ref and touchy robably right to refer to TMO, and correct decision made.
