Meant to ask,how has Spencer gone? I must admit to not being a 7s fan, so haven't seen much. Kind of curious how he went, just from knowing his Dad and Grandfather,

[Stargazer]

Fiji has really imploded. Not helped by the officiating either.

Portia to start then.

Apparently not.

I was expecting a like-for-like replacement. Not that it mattered in the end.

Still looking a bit like a boy among men (still some growing to do), but he's showing promise. He has speed, that's clear. Only his first tournament, so still plenty to learn.

Def a youngster but he has shown some excellent instincts and elusiveness. Footwork in close gets him out of a lot of trouble

Will be a tough final. Both sides dominated

A rugby try involving a purposeful header - brilliant by Uruguay

[KiwiMurph]

The skills here - how good.

USA (women) win bronze, after beating Ireland 12 - 5.

Fiji (men) take home the bronze medal after a big win against France: 29 - 5.

Now, time for the women's Final: BF7s v France.

[ACT Crusader]

Hirini quite emotional.

This French side is physical.

[ACT Crusader]

TNW with a critical tackle. Great burst Kaka.

[Stargazer]

Tenika Willison scores the first try!! Important role from Miller in the lead-up to that try.

7 - 0 BF7s

[ACT Crusader]

Sheesh we look so dangerous with the offload. Another one.

[Stargazer]

Great interplay between Kaka and Hotham, who scores the second try.

14 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

That always looks so funny, when a player is held up and the player's team mates don't join to prevent a maul.

[Stargazer]

Just when the French look strong in defence, Hotham finds a hole and goes for another run! Try time.

HT: BF7s 21 - 0 France
