<p>That was too close for comfort.</p>

I'll take a bad win. Yanks drew with Aus so not too shabby.

<p>Poor vaulter (gym version) with a nasty break, then the Ambulance crew drop his stretcher as they put him in the Ambulance!</p>

<p>Image in the article of the break if you are squeamish.</p>

<p>Our sevens ladies need to show better discipline. Three yellow cards in the games I've watched - and Portia was lucky not to be given one for throwing the ball away vs US - same offence as she was given one in the first game.</p>

<p>McAlister and Woodman are weapons though!</p> -

<p>Did I read correctly that the lady who won kept her trap shut for an incredible twelve seconds?</p>

<p>Unbeatable!!!</p>

<p>Looks like someone has put "rigor" in a stretching machine !</p> -
<p>People are such fucking dicks</p>
-
<p>actually, scratch that, the only thing worse then the mouth breathers who complain about this shit (people have done that forever) is the media who beat this crap up by creating "articles" that are essentially lists of twitter posts made by the demented. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fuck Twitter, it is the single worst thing to happen to humanity since smallpox</p> -

<p>$20 just to watch the 7s? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's one of those, it's only $20 (which isn't even a pub meal in some [stupid] pubs now) but I'll likely only watch the 7s anyway.</p>
