2019-2020 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

FT: Fiji 24 - 29 South Africa

Congrats to the Blitzbokke; great comeback.

[Stargazer]

It's time win another tournament. SA is coming too close.

[Machpants]

@Stargazer yeah. When's the next one? All a bit confusd with the C19 and cancellations etc.

[Stargazer]

@Machpants Next weekend, the Vancouver Sevens (7-8 March).

[Daffy Jaffy]

Potential Q/final vs 1st or 2nd in pool B - hopefully avoiding Fiji until later in the tournament.

This in Paris?

Took me a few seconds to work out why Wales was PDG...

@Stargazer I normally dont watch the midgets but thought we were very lucky to advance from the quarter final against USA. To win it in the final like that was a fantastic achievement.

[Stargazer]

@booboo That looks like a picture from one of the French rugby federation's social media accounts (see the logo in the bottom left corner). The next tournament is this weekend in Vancouver.

All Blacks 7s games (NZT):

Sun 8 March 2020
7.53am: v Kenya
11.05am: v Spain
2.35pm: v Ireland

[Crucial]

Three wins and topped our pool but Canada upset Fiji meaning that our opponent will be either Fiji or France depending on the outcome of the last game.

[booboo]

So, NZ v Fiji QF.

Great.

[booboo]

17-5 the Good Guys.

Ravouvou nails the win on the bell with NZ down to 6. (Could have kicked it out but deep kick and chase wasn't a bad option.)

NZ vs SA semi final is at 11:14am

[Duluth]

15-5 NZ at half time

Clarke with 2 and Mikkelson with 1. No conversions as every try was scored wide

SA had hardly any ball after the opening minute and they conceded a YC (deliberate knock on)

[Stargazer]

Holy moly, that was a great intercept try from Dickson!

[Duluth]

NZ win 27-15

The final is at 2:28pm (vs Aus or Canada)

[Stargazer]

@Duluth I missed all previous games, but this looked good!

[Duluth]

@Stargazer

I forgot it was on. I haven't seen anything before this match either

Much more accurate than the SF last week. Earned some good ruck turnovers and didn't make many errors

You're screwed when you lose the possession battle like that.. that killed SA today and it killed us last week

[Stargazer]

@Duluth The Series title is not the most important thing right now, but finishing as high as possible on the table will be important for the seeding for the Olympics (if going ahead). With both Fiji and SA out of contention for the title in Vancouver, we'll collect more points than them and increase our lead on the table.

[Duluth]

Aus v Canada was a great game

19-14

Canada almost scored a try in overtime but was denied by the TMO. Correct call IMO but he was only millimetres short

NZ v Aus in the final
