    <p>backing Fiji and someone to shoot Keith Quinn - he spends more time talking about everything other than the game -what players had for breakfast, who their grandfather is, what their uncles dog called</p>

    <p>NZ must have the worst penalty ratio for/against in the tournament. Lots and lots of dumb play (I'm talking sevens of course, I don't give a shit about the Olympics)</p>

    A couple of dodgy calls against GBR in that first half but only down 5-0 at the break. <br><br>
    GBR hit back straight after HT and up 7-5. Norton showing a clean pair of heels to beat his defender. <br><br>
    GBR dangerous up the middle. Boks look good when they get it wide<br><br><br>

    <p>Hmmm, it's going to be a tough choice choosing whether to support Fiji or Great Britain.</p>

    GB for me, chaps, no surprises there.<br><br>
    But if they have to lose arguably the highest profile sevens final in the history of the game, I'd rather it went to Fiji than anyone. The game may have been invented in Scotland, but it was made for Fiji.

    <p>Thrilled of course for Murray and Bond, just fucking legends, but what I really love about the Olympics is the stories like Natalie Rooney and Luuka Jones, not even rated at home to medal, and they cane it at the highest level.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Here's hoping the cyclists add to the haul.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>(On a side note, quite surprising how bad some of the other NZ rowing crews have done. 5th and 6th in B finals are not the results you want to read.)</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>The swimming team have really been the epic failures. Not even a finalist amongst them. I think Corey Main swam a few PB's, which is something, but the senior members of the team were rubbish.</p>
