That USA performance was excellent. Really physical. Fiji looked a bit clueless.

NZ into the final after an epic 7-5 win over England, including a goal line stand that must of lasted at least 5 minutes

[Stargazer]

Final: NZ v USA
4.29am

[Stargazer]

Geez

[Daffy Jaffy]

@stargazer That is a tough ask. Thank goodness finals aren't ten minutes each way any more!

[Stargazer]

Try Ng Shiu!

7-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Collier should have tried to run it.

[Stargazer]

Half time: NZ 7 - 0 USA

[Stargazer]

Masirewa sent to the bin. I didn't see the reason why.

The USA benefits from having a man more. Try in the corner.

7 - 5 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try Collier under the sticks!

[Bones]

@stargazer was a high tackle.

I have to give it to Collier. He's been immense. Well done fella.

[Stargazer]

14 - 5 NZ with 1'30" to go.

USA with 8 men on the field. What's the ref going to do?

[Bones]

Amazing guts shown, brilliant effort and fight. Collier has grown into a fine player, obviously due to all my moaning a couple of years ago.

[Stargazer]

Awesome to see the AB7s win the Dubai Sevens despite all their injuries! That was a great try from McGarvey-Black at the end.

FT: 21 - 5 NZ

[Stargazer]

Double victory this weekend, with both NZ teams taking out the Dubai Sevens! Important for Olympic qualification!

Andrew Knewstubb was named the Player of the Final and of the Tournament.

[Bones]

@stargazer didn't think Knewstubb did a heck of a lot in the final apart from get ragdolled at one stage, odd to award it to him.

Rasta?

That defensive effort against England was about as good an effort I have seen from a NZ sevens team in many a year..
Found it just as rewarding from viewing point of view than any brilliant attacking play..
Congratulations to both our men and women..!
