2017-18 World Sevens Series

Good come back against Spain. The match against Aus will be a decider. Great to see Baker back.

Koroi really is a star in the making and didn't deserve the yellow, made a clear attempt to catch it. How anyone could say "deliberate knock down" sums up Joubert's reffing in sevens. I didn't mind him so much in 15's as there is usually a bit of time to come back from one of his shockers. Not so much in sevens.

The being inside the 10m when the Aussie knocked on taking the penalty tap was a ridiculous call though.
Yep.
Maybe Henning and co will reword the "deliberate knock down" law to " any unsuccessful attempt at an intercept will be penalty and yellow card".
-
I see we made the quarters though.
35-12 is quite convincing.
-
PS. I have a real issue withthe terminology "deliberate knock down". (No comment in the incident in question. Didn't see that. Just a general rant.)
Knocking the ball "down" is not fucking illegal. Knocking the ball "forward" or "on" is.
A few years ago when I was still playing somebody blocked an opposition pass by knocking it backward. You shoukd have heard the squealing about knock downs. Direct result of incorrect terminology being used, accentuated by stupidity...

You know your at risk going for it in sevens though so I wasn't too bothered.

Yeah that was nuts. When have you ever seen that before? Joubert tends to rule on what he thinks should happen in 7s.
-
Blitz score with 6 on the field. Well done.
-
@kiwimurph The best I have seen in 7s
-
Nice try by NZ
-
Great stuff
-
NZ needs it now
-
Yes. Well done NZ. I would rather have Blitzbokke play NZ than England.
-
NZ is my #2 team and I respect them more.
