    I don't watch alot of 7s, although i expect it is standard, but that card was a joke, the player with the ball was 100% the cause of that glancing head contact by stopping as she did.

    Tacklers at fault by definition aren't they? Even in XVs.

    @booboo well I think they are bollocks in 15s too, just shows how the game is struggling with common sense.

    Portia running flat out after someone who suddenly stops and steps into her for the body check...

    Anywhoo, still a great result.

    Tackler has to be in control... you even state right there in what you wrote that she wasn't in control. Surely the ball carrier is allowed to stop without having to take a head battering, or is that a law I missed? The dip from the ball carrier though, that's mitigation. Hence yellow.

    BBC coverage for this Olympics has been fucking shit

    I'm watching on the web

    2 channels showing gymnastics, 2 channels showing tennis

    No surfing
    No 7s

    Yeah couldn’t find this live on any channel. And I have access to French German and Italian as well as English.

    Saw the last 5 minutes, great composure from the BF7 to keep possession and ultimately break out from on their own line in the face of amazing Canadian defence. Then an excellent restart to seal the 🥇

    I'm using discovery plus, the app is a bit shit (e.g. you couldn't just watch the sevens, you had to watch each individual game as an item), but hey it's free and the quality is really good.

    I watched the Canada Australia SF. Australia were in total control, but they fell asleep in the dying seconds of the first half to allow Canada to score from 75m out which seemed to get the Canadians going. Second half Canada played super solid, and as time went on the Aussie error rate crept up with Canada profiting to score several tries. Herculean effort by Canada and they took the BF7s really close in the final.
