Go the BF7s.

We'll ignore the men's games tomorrow.

I missed the game. We’re we being too cute and not getting the balance between old heads and youth right? When we do we are the best in the comp. That’s a poor result against an Oz side that has been struggling.

Argentina bullying Fiji, don't often see that. Just not intimidated by them at all.

[Bones]

7:55 for that disgusting try by Blyde.

Very disappointed they benched Solo and started with Leo. Benched Carter early too and Rokolisoa on a bit late. Leo can run but lacks the other skills and it is costly. Collier looked a bit slow too. This time spreading the matches and combos around cost them. But not much in it.

BF 7s took out the final against Oz to balance the books. That's four tourneys in a row!

It was a tight final but Hirini was huge, and saved Miller's Minties moment. Both teams made early handling errors - nerves.

[Stargazer]

The men won the remainder of their games and finished 5th after beating the USA 50 to 7. While 5th place is disappointing, they only lost one game during the tournament.

[Stargazer]

The Argies won the Cup, beating France 33 - 21 in the Final.
Australia won bronze after defeating Ireland 20 - 5.

The closeness of 3,4,5,6,7 means we cant sit back on a locked in qualification like the BF7s

Should that have been a penalty try for deliberate knock on?

Yes, I think so.

If the ball had spilled forward because the tackler ripped the carrier's arms away, then no. But that was a deliberate punch forward.

Is Leroy Carter a decent halfback? The only times I remember watching him play xv's he was on the wing and he went ok

I think Miller lost the ball backwards because the Aussie player pulled/pushed her arm. I don't think the Aussie touched the ball.

[Bovidae]

Even though the ref said "backwards" the ball looks to have been punched out.
