@arhs said in Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments:

@stargazer. I think she is deliberately working on avoiding the touchline and finding her support when she does not have a clear run to the corner. Happy with that philosophy as the continuity regularly gets the try and most importantly wears down the opposition. The men seem to be doing similar. Will watch Vai Clarke and ENS with interest.

Agree, you don't want people taken out over the sideline when possession is so important.

Awesome. Amanaki Nicole makes a try-saving tackle at one end of the field, and only a few phases later, he scores at the other!

[Stargazer]

Try Warkbrick. Running a great line.

Almost a try at the other end. Not sure whether it was another mistake of Molia.

Now Mikkelson over! Too easy.

17 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Molia having a bit of a mare. Giving away several penalties. The last one leading to an Aussie try.

HT: AB7s 17 - 7 Australia

[Stargazer]

Great speed from Lachlan Anderson. Too quick for McGarvey-Black. Aussies making a comeback.

[Stargazer]

Geez, piss poor tackling. The Aussies score again and take the lead.

17 - 21 Aus

[Toddy]

21 unanswered points from OZ. AB 7's look gassed.

[Stargazer]

That wasn't pretty, but at least they score again. AB7s take back the lead: 24 - 21.

[Stargazer]

Hmm, is the ref a bit too quick to penalise the AB7s there?

[Toddy]

@stargazer the no release? Seemed a bit harsh

[Stargazer]

@toddy Yeah, that's what I was thinking!

FT: AB7s 24 - 21 Aussie 7s

Our guys struggled a bit against an Aussie side they should be able to beat easily.

Btw, Fiji beat Oceania 32-12. They also made it look more difficult than it should have been.
