    Tomasi Cama a rubhish coach.

    Starting Joe Webber in a knockout match is one of the most stupid decisions I've seen watching decades (and playing) sevens.
    He misses far too many tackles (in fact, the only tackle I can recall he made was at the kickoff for the 2nd half, his one and only good play in the whole match), his passes are piss poor, usually going behind the player he's passing to and he pretty much does the same thing every time he has the ball in hand.

    To compound that headscratcher, he doesn't start either of the two playmakers used the most thru the HSBC 7s, Cook-Savage and Rokolisoa, yet he starts Collier and Dillon who are both too old and too slow and keeps them on almost the entire match. In fact, Collier played the entire match and contributed almost nothing just because he's the captain he's kept on the whole time... WTF!

    And WTF was that from Knewstubb, he was thru the tackle, line open in front of him and he attempts a miracle offload which is intercepted and turned into the match winning score when the SA player looks up, sees only Dillion and Collier in front of him and takes the most logical option, kick and chase when you know you can outpace your opposition, just too easy.

    Daft tactics from NZ coach. Why bench your best playmakers? Rokolisoa should have started, and maybe Cook Savage also.

    @NTA it's France, 1 point is enough.

    @RoninWC You mean Curry? It did seem strange that Webber went from being only a travelling reserve to replacing the injured Ware in the starting team. It doesn't say much about the original team selection.

    @NTA Make that two undefeated teams. France lost to Fiji.

    It is utterly weird that Australia are one of them.

    But it is likely to be a France v Fiji final...

    Watched a replay of that Oz v USA match and I thought there was some dodgy reffing throughout the game that favoured the Aussies quite a bit.

    Their defence is good though and I would back them to beat Fiji.

    Jesus you took your time, I was sure the bait signal would go up as soon as I mentioned Way's name.

    I know the football has to start early to fit in the whole comp with enough gaps between games. But is the Sevens starting early just because of other events coming up in the stadium?

    Yes. Basically have to play the men’s and women’s before the athletics start.

    Are there no other Stadiums in Paris?

    I like the confused look on the Boks' faces when they get penalised for infringing

    Fiji looked more threatening. But the errors are hurting them and an error led to that try

    The lead didn't last long.... Sky's coverage glitched so I missed the whole thing as Fiji went coast to coast
