Kick over. NZ 14 Ireland 12 on the hooter.

[sparky]

Ireland given a penalty for I don't know what.

[sparky]

Thank fuck for that.

[Bones]

Great to get that win with a lot of guys very quiet. Cook-Savage, Carter and Ng Shiu were great.

[sparky]

NZ win their pool unbeaten, but the dopey defence is a worry.

[sparky]

@Bones Our guys have all the skills but we'll need more intensity against Fiji or France.

[sparky]

I think this NZ team will be good enough to medal, but the gold might be beyond them.

Excellent win nz but as we know pool play counts for little. Start from scratch again in the quarters

[sparky]

New Zealand against South Africa in the Olympic 7s Quarter Finals in the Stade de France.

[sparky]

NZ with attacking intent but let down by poor handling.

[Bones]

Nervous start but creating space

[Bones]

Yuuuuuck

Foster style defence let's them run in with ease

[sparky]

Crap defence and the Springboks in.

[KiwiMurph]

Needed to do better when we had the ball

[sparky]

Disappointing start.

[sparky]

NZ 0 RSA 7

Webber makes so many small errors
