[Stargazer]

[antipodean]

I can understand Fiji's upset at that decision - that's a knock on every day at a maul.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess Fijians were knackered, paid for going to HK with A team IMO But great work, esp defence, by the boys. AWESOME - only golds I really cared about

[taniwharugby]

I reckon that tackle from Curry and turnover from Mikkleson in the first 2 mins of that half was the winning of that.

[Machpants]

when was the last time the Fijians were nilled?

[Steven Harris]

Awesome..!,if you have asked me at the beginning of the day on our chances of both teams,I would have said our ladies were about a 95% chance and our men with this squad,maybe 65% or 70%..great double..!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Gee Fiji were utter shit. Good for us for them to bring that in the gold medal game.

Not a big fan of 7s, particularly without the top players, but I enjoyed that.

[Chris B.]

Haha - fucking awesome.

We win what, I think, are the last two golds of the Games and against the odds.

Fijians never really fired shots and we were pretty dominant. Could easily have won by an additional 10 points.

Might be the making of that men's team. Playing smart footy.

Really?

You're certainly a glass half full person SH. The Blues must be a constant disappointment to you.

I would have said Women 40%. Men 20%.

[KiwiMurph]

Tactically very smart by NZ. Have to give the coach credit for that.

Fiji buggered after Hong Kong makes sense but that was their choice.

Some of those NZ guys played their best ever games of 7s - Molia and Nanai-Seturo come to mind.

[taniwharugby]

@chris-b as a multi I reckon would got a decent return

[KiwiMurph]

Yes lets remember the Aus Women destroyed the Black Ferns 7s when they played in the final of the Sydney 7s a couple of months ago. Huge result for Black Ferns 7s.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Yeah, and today they were also missing one of their veterans in Ruby Tui.

[Stargazer]

This was the first time women's sevens was at the Commonwealth Games. Great to have the first gold medal!
