Wasn't he in front of the kicker?

KiwiMurph

Poor play by Ng Shiu. He clocked off.

Japan with the final try.

NZ win 40-12.

A big win but with a quite a few work ons.

sparky

Both Ireland and South Africa will be a lot tougher.

KiwiMurph

Much better result than opening game Rio 2016 when we lost to Japan

Should be through to the quarters given the points difference even if we finish third in the pool

I like the athleticism of our squad. They look in great nick.

Hopefully, the skills and decision-making will be there when needed most.

Not sure I like having the 7s two days before the Opening Ceremony.

All the teams look a tad rusty - especially with their handling

Interesting to see that you can’t call for a scrum as a consequence of a free kick infringement at the scrum in 15-a-side but you can in 7s

sparky

Ireland beat Japan 40-5 which puts a bit of context on the NZ result earlier.

sparky

Ireland looking very powerful.

Three great offloads and NZ are in for the first try against South Africa.

SA in. Really sleepy defence by NZ.

sparky

5-5. Wake the fuck up, NZ!

sparky

NZ 10-5 up. Second half beginning.
