AB7s also lose their 2nd game against Fiji Barbarians (10 - 17). It looks like they had the same ref that officiated the BF7s in their 2nd game. He again made weird decisions, and then sent a NZ player to the bin because he disagreed haha.

Here is one for @stargazer to run his eye over as India attempt to sort out the Commonwealth Games 7s Team
And as I write this Chandigah are over for an uncoverted try in the right hand corner to lead Manipur ten nil, followed not long later by another to extend that lead to fifteen points.

The score remains that way to the end where both teams form a tunnel to applaud their opponents off the field in one of the quaint traditions of rugby union.
For those that can't get enough of a rugby fix next up is a womens encounter between the might of Kerela and the female Chandigarh side. Already a notable achievement in that the first try was managed to be converted, albeit with a hilarious wobbly misskick from right in front! I think I will give it a miss!And it got more exciting when the commentator's mobile phone rang and he cut the microphone off to answer the call!
