2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[Stargazer]

Now Woodman in. I think they can beat that Aussie score.
17 - 0 NZ

[Toddy]

Good try to Kenya. Good patient build up

[Stargazer]

Oi, that wasn't in the plan, Ferns!

Good try to Kenya

They need to stop going wide - just bash it up off the rucks.

@taniwharugby 12 months i reckon. 12 months of training and playing and they would be fuuuuuucking hard to stop. Those guys are genetic freaks.

Receivers, running backs, linebackers and safeties.

WADA testing...

As in "WADA you gonna do about it, comrade?"

I was referencing the earlier NFL discussion suggesting some of the genetic freaks may be enhanced within the NFL environment and may have to deal with a stricter testing regimen.

[Machpants]

I think the Kenyans being clever in the tackle, rolling the ball sharply away from themselves, making the ferns, going for ruck dominance and turn over, unable too reach the ball, but in no position to grab it even tho it is out

[Toddy]

Nice conversion there. 24 - 7

[Stargazer]

Another one to Blyde. Great conversion again.

24 - 7 BF7s

[Toddy]

Too easy BFs in again

[Stargazer]

Try Broughton!

29 - 7 NZ

[Toddy]

Great kick off but Woodman spills it

[Machpants]

What a wild idea, stopping the clock whilst the scrum is fucking about

[Toddy]

Final score 29-7

[Machpants]

Pretty frantic and scrappy second half by the ferns

[Stargazer]

Full time: BF7s 29 - 7 Kenya

Good start.

They play GB at 9.30pm NZT tonight.

Who are the top 4 in world rankings?

[Stargazer]

@canefan I don't think there are world rankings like in XVs. I think standings are based on the World Series, which haven't been played for a while. The last standings date from over a year ago (after 5 World Series legs):

1 NZ
2 Australia
3 Canada
4 France
5 USA
6 Russia
7 Fiji
8 England
etc

[Machpants]

Yeah no ranking system for 7s

We are the team to beat then...

[Stargazer]

@canefan Yes. No doubt.
