2018 Sevens RWC
-
@stargazer particularly as the 7s contracts are worth quite a bit more than your M10 ones...?
-
Quite staggering regarding Koroi, considering our issues in replacing him in recent events. I would have thought this would be a pinnacle event for him. Did he attend all the sevens training camps outside what he had to miss due to NZ Under 20's?
The way the article was altered the next day makes one wonder if he made himself unavailable because he knew he would not be selected for some reason. I just couldn't believe that his non-selection was left completely out of the article.
-
Koroi did get pulled from the final couple of Sevens tournaments in 2017 due to commitments for the Otago Mitre 10 Cup team.

So I now find out that this isn't being shown live in UK, with just an hour long highlights package for each day. Hoping they show a few games live on the WR website. Anyone know where it is being shown free-to-air that I could try a vpn for?
-
@bones It is free to air in NZ on TVNZ's 'Duke' channel if that helps
-
@bones In NZ, on Duke: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/livetv/tvnz-duke

@Daffy-Jaffy @Stargazer Cheers heaps guys! I'll give it a bash.

Thus far, these are the results in the women's tournament:
Fiji 12 - 19 Spain
France 33 - 7 Japan
Russia 24 - 14 South Africa
Canada 43 - 19 Brazil
Australia 34 - 5 PNGNow the Black Ferns v Mexico.
-
Great try from Woodman! 5 - 0 NZ
-
Too easy, try Blyde. 10 - 0 NZ
-
Ha, Goss with a little fend and she's through the Mexican defence. Converted by Nathan-Wong.
17 - 0 NZ
-
Blyde, too fast. Another converted try.
Half time: New Zealand 24 - 0 Mexico
-
This is a massacre. Try Woodman.
31 - 0 NZ
-
Tui with the line-out steal, and Brazier scores the next try. The conversion is good.
38 - 0 NZ
-
This is going even faster than in the 1st half. Now Waaka scoring a try.
45 - 0 NZ
-
Goss stepping through the Mexican "defence".
52 - 0 NZ
-
Ferns being bullies. Goss in, again.
57 - 0 NZ
-
And that's the full time score. 9 tries to 0.
It wasn't more than an opposed training run really. Nothing to be ashemed about for Mexico, who are newbies to the scene.
-
New Zealand will play the winner of England v Ireland at 12.30pm.

Half time: England 7 - 5 Ireland. Surprising first half, with most of the play in the England half.
-
Wow, it looks like this is going to be the first upset of the tournament. Ireland are leading 19 - 7.
Time's not up yet, about 2 and half minutes to go.
-
19 - 14 Ireland. Less than a minute to go.
-
And it IS the first upset of the tournament. England are out.
Ireland will be the Black Ferns' next opponent. They've been warned.
Final score: Ireland 19 - 14 England
-
Here we go: Black Ferns 7s v Ireland (live on Duke).
-
Try Woodman! Portia showing her speed again. Fantastic to watch. Nathan-Wong converts.
7 - 0 NZ
-
Haha, and Blyde seems even faster! Nathan-Wong's conversion is good.
14 - 0 NZ
-
Break and offload from Brazier, Williams scores the third NZ try! Not converted.
19 - 0 NZ
-
And another one for Woodman! Nathan-Wong converts.
26 - 0 NZ
That's the half time score.
-
Michaele Blyde scores her second. Nathan-Wong adds the 2 points.
It looks like Ireland put everything in that game against England and have nothing left for this one.33 - 0 NZ
-
Geez, Blyde is an amazing player. So fast. Hat-trick. Nathan-Wong's kick is good.
40 - 0 NZ
-
Try Stacey Waaka. Another massacre this. Not converted.
45 - 0 NZ
-
Full time: Black Ferns 45 - 0 Ireland (7 tries to nil)
That was complete dominance again.
They will play the winner of USA v Russia at 7.04am Sunday morning NZT.
-
The All Blacks 7 will play their first game at 3.31pm NZT this afternoon against Russia.
Russia won the pre-round game v Hong Kong 21 to 7. -

And the opponent will be the USA, who beat Russia 33 - 17. The Americans looked strong and are, of course, the home team. I expect this to be the first real test for the BFs.
-
Good crowd for a Friday in San Francisco.
Excellent choice of stadium. The rectangular field fits in remarkably well.
-
First game ending in a tie! Scotland 26 - 26 Kenya, thanks to Kenya having two men in the bin. Kenya were leading 26 - 0 at some point in the 2nd half.
Scotland scores in the corner and are through! Kenya pays a high price for its ill-discipline.
Scotland 31 - 26 Kenya
