2023 World Sevens Series

[Bovidae]

NZ got a bit lucky in the end. Laidlaw is still too slow to make subs, particularly for the big guys.

[Stargazer]

Carter named Player of the Final. Well-deserved.

[Crucial]

If the table stays the way it is one of Samoa or Oz is going to need to qualify for the olympics through the repecharge (one through Oceania)

[Stargazer]

[Crucial]

I assume that GB and Ireland will also have one through Europe qualification and one trying to win the sole repecharge spot.
France auto qualify as hosts.

As expected, a training run for the BF7s against Colombia.

[Higgins]

What is happening to the FlopBoks? I notice they are getting flogged 19-0 by the Frogs and if is barely even halftime.

[Higgins]

Damn, reverse jinx as it immediately became 05 - 19 the moment I typed the above.

Full time score: BF7s 60 - 0 Colombia

Looking at the players' knees, they're playing on artificial turf.

Reverse jinx complete as the Frogs flopped and let in a last minute converted try to scrape a 19 - 19 draw. I will withhold my glee at possible Sth African demises in future!

[Stargazer]

Here we go. I don't expect this to be an easy game for the AB7s.

[Stargazer]

That was a great offload from Collier. Try time.

Followed by a try to Moses Leo, who's playing really well.

14 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Try to Leroy Carter from an overthrown line-out throw from the USA.

AB7s 19 - 0 USA

[Stargazer]

Now a try to McGarvey-Black. A weak USA team turned up. It's easy for the AB7s after all.

HT: AB7s 26 - 0 USa
