[Bovidae]

There are a lot of players injured in the men's squad.

Unavailable due to injury: Andrew Knewstubb, Lewis Ormond, Amanaki Nicole, Roderick Solo, Kitiona Vai, Dylan Collier, Joe Webber, Tone Ng Shiu.

The article also says that the 2024 contracted squads will be announced in the New Year so there could be further changes.

@Bovidae how the hell are there so many injuries in November?

[Bovidae]

@Bones No idea. Knewstubb has had a long-term injury but I don't know about the rest. The last I heard was that Webber was doing a Te Reo Māori course so was unavailable for the year, not injured.

[Stargazer]

@Bones Most - if not all - of those players have long-term injuries; especially Knewstubb and Ng Shiu have been out for ages.

I have no Sky for the next two months. Is there a way to watch the WR Sevens Series online, with or without a VPN? I'd welcome links when they are available.

@Stargazer Sometimes these things are available on the TAB and Bet365

Well I could only watch it on the sevens website last year, so hoping that's the case again? You'd have to VPN to a country where it's available and probably change your time zone. Or do the VPN on your phone and tether.

Dominant performance from the American women against Spain in first game. A 27 - 0 win.
France won the other game that I didn't see against Canada 29 - 0.

Australia making a good start against Brazil.

[Stargazer]

Pretty disappointing for the supporters of teams that play on field 2; those games don't seem to be televised. I hope our NZ teams will play all their games on the main field.

BF7s v South Africa starting now.

[Stargazer]

South Africa the first to score. BF7s struggling early against a new team in the Series.

[Stargazer]

Tenika Willison having a mare thus far. That SA try was basically the result of a pass into nowhere from her, and now again she threw the ball straight to a SA player.

BF7s back on attack and Mahina Paul scores.

[Bovidae]

Miller looked slow...

[Stargazer]

Another defensive error from the BF7s and South Africa score their second. Nice try.

HT: BF7s 5 - 14 South Africa

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Forward v back. Also Miller having had to make a lot of tackles. Hardest worker on the field.

[Stargazer]

So sloppy.

[Stargazer]

Multiple changes now. I hope they took Willison off.
