Not sure how the 3 groups will fall in terms of NZ, Aus and France but would be good if NZ v Aus is not destined to be a semi-final.

As long as NZ and Aust win their pools they will be on opposite sides of the draw.

NZ - Pool A
Aust - Pool B
France - Pool C

Wow. China over Fijiana 40-12.

Really accurate. L from China

China is Coached by ex NZ Men's player Rocky Kahn with Gordon Tietjens doing some consulting.

US women looked strong and on their day could challenge some of the more favoured teams.

@Bovidae said in Olympic Sevens 2024:

@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.

Yes, I meant Curry, thanks for picking that up.

And yes, the whole selection was an absolute mess for those games.

[ACT Crusader]

Pretty good game this between USA and France. Both play a pretty physical style.

[sparky]

Black Ferns beat Fiji 38-7.

They will play China in their Quarter Final.

Hirini off with a YC, China attacking well 7-5, now NZ score from their own 22. NZ up 9 now

[booboo]

Normal service resumed

24-5 at the break

[Bones]

Hiring card shouldn't have even had a chance to happen, about as clear as you can get from the Blyde cover tackle with the Chinese player not releasing the ball and just standing up.

One of the funniest moments for the Felix-Hotham try with the Chinese winger literally running away from her.

[booboo]

All the clichéd...

Jordan Miller creates space and a try from nowhere
Blyde given space and scored
Portia given space and scores

[canefan]

NZ made a couple of errors on restarts. Something to work on

[canefan]

Our deep bench gives us the luxury of resting our starters while continuing to pull away

[booboo]

Good work gillies. Kinda emphatic.

[sparky]

Big win for the Blacks Ferns in the QF. Great work!

[canefan]

We will play either USA or GB in the final, Australia I guess will face the French

[Tordah]

That could very easily have been a red card, lucky it wasn't. Great stuff from the BF7s, anyways.

[sparky]

USA score against Team GB.

[sparky]

USA 5 GB 7.

[canefan]

When will they play the SF?
