Olympic Sevens 2024

@game_film I have so much respect for French Rugby after coming within a lick of paint of spoiling our most special moment in 2011.
Glad in a way they got theirs.

Dupont was awesome.

To put it mildly.
Lots of people calling him the Messi of Rugby or the GOAT.
He's still behind Richie McCaw, Gareth Edwards and John Eales for me. But he's 27 and has more chapters to be written. One of the very greatest ever that's for sure.

French team in their after match gear look like they’ve taken up test match cricket.

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?
Park de Princes holds nearly 50K.

@booboo Also Stade Jean Bouin, next to PdP, which hosts 20,000 and is home to Stade Francais Rugby Club.

Wonderful player. Humanity needs people like this.
Such a shame in Rugby WC 2023 the draw was so messed up we didn't see more of France.
The French WC atmosphere was lacking in the semis and beyond. I missed it. -
Used throughout most of his 7s time to bringing his visions and skill from the bench. I hope to see BB do the same thing, he seems to be able to come on and change the game with a full brief from the coaching/analytics team and his own vision it makes sense

Every games has a hometown hero. Good start
Antonie Dupont's from the Hautes-Pyrénées down in the south west of France, but I get what you mean.

I will say that I'm not going to miss the female commentator for the BBC
Think she's a Kiwi
My ears were bleeding

And she knows the laws and can recognise all the players which puts her above the rest of the 7s commentators on the BBC feed at these Olympics.

Big deal
She is still an annoying screecher
Watched it without sound
Far better
Why do female commentators feel the need to be shouting most of the time?

She reminds me of Smithy and I think she's great.
