@machpants Not a yellow. Would have been if they'd dropped him and he landed on the ground, but they didn't.

Geez, what were the Kenyans trying to do there? Trying to rob Baker of his few brain cells?

Surely a yellow, legs above the horizontal in the tackle? Still no harm done I guess

If they lift past hz they have a responsibility to lower him to the ground safely. Penalty (and prolly card) if you don't.

[Machpants]

OK so ref saved them

[Stargazer]

England women with a big win over Wales: 45 - 0.

It's very unlikely that Fijiana will beat the Aussies, but even then, I think England have a sufficiently big points differential to reach the semis.

[Stargazer]

Fijiana is putting up a fight! 5 all at half time against Oz.

[Stargazer]

Okay. Not quite half time yet, apparently.

[Stargazer]

Awesome game. 10 all with 2 and half minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Fiji lose a player to the bin. That may cost them the game and a spot in the semis.

[Stargazer]

Casslick scores what may be the winning try.

[Stargazer]

Australia beats Fijiana 17 - 10. Still, a very good game from the Fijians. Australia looks beatable.

[Stargazer]

Confirmed:

Women's 5th-8th place semi-finals (in NZT):

England has beaten Austalia in the men's tournament: 26 - 17.
That means that England has won its pool and is through to the medal semis.

[Stargazer]

Long injury break in the game between Kenya and Zambia; sad to see a player being stretchered off.

England looked pretty sharp running excellent angles making it hard for the OZ defenders.

[Stargazer]

Next game is AB7s v Canada.

[Stargazer]

Try Scott Curry!

[Stargazer]

Yellow for one of the Canadians (deliberate knock-on).

[Stargazer]

Try Regan Ware. 10 - 0 NZ with the kick to come.

[Stargazer]

Great conversion from Knewstubb. 12 - 0 NZ

@stargazer not sure about that one eh, the ball hit his body, so not knocked down?
