2019-2020 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Now, that's emotion. Jaz Hotham.

[Stargazer]

Great defence from Blyde. I thought Farella was certain to score.

[Stargazer]

Awesome passage of play. Nathan-Wong scores under the sticks.

[Stargazer]

7 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Now, it's Canada's turn to score.

7 all

[Stargazer]

Gayle Broughton stepping her way through the Canadian defence. Awesome to see that. Great try.

HT: NZ 14 - 7 Canada

[Stargazer]

Yessss! Try Williams.

21 - 7 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Awesome! Try Fitzpatrick!

28 - 7 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Hotham on.

[Stargazer]

Saili scores after the hooter. This team is so good. Tactically very good, great skills, very well-coached.

FT: NZ 33 - 7 Canada

The Black Ferns 7s win gold again!!

[Stargazer]

It's really pissing down during this game. Doesn't seem to bother the players.

That was a great try to Fiji.

Fiji leads 12 to 5.

[Stargazer]

Fiji win the Sydney Sevens after beating South Africa 12 to 10! It was a tough game, but SA made too many mistakes.

So is it another sudden death pool set up in LA?

Aren't they all now? It is also shit.

Sevens is fickle (and lots of competitive teams these days) so losing one pool game and being out of contention sucks. I actually didn't bother watching over the weekend for the first time in many years. The format must have been done by the same guy that gave us super rugby recently.

I don't think so, but I haven't seen the draw, yet.

I looked for the draw but couldn’t find it either. They usually do it at the tournament before don’t they?

[Stargazer]

@Snowy Usually soon after the previous tournament, so I expect it some time this week.
