2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[NTA]

The other bugbear I've got with the refs: "not releasing" penalties given against the ball carrier when the defender is not even trying to lift. We were given very strict instructions on this at the start of the season.

I understand 7s is a little different but the "grabbing it on your elbows" isn't good enough IMHO

Lol Wally has gone down, hope it's not too bad

It's an omen

Not after that turn around, I don't think

[NTA]

Oh Yank girl does it again - gets up without releasing.

[NTA]

I think both sides would have questions for the ref....

Great length of the field try.

12 - 0 OZ

It's looking hard.

Terrible conversion for our standard.

[Machpants]

Really little offloading in the woman's game, bit bizarre.

USA finally don't shoot themselves in the foot 12-7

[Stargazer]

Oh oh try USA. The Americans look powerful, but slow, but the Aussies couldn't stop this try.

12 - 7 Oz

[Crucial]

USA need to learn how to offload.
They keep getting the ball through the line with a support player but the carrier just takes the tackle

Aussie defence a bit scattered there. Need to hold the ball.

Good power game from the Yanks - three tackles broken up the middle and then out and back

[Machpants]

Lol that said, two offloads by Oz, then another by us too score. 12-14 to USA

[Crucial]

Finally a pop pass

I've seen plenty of offloading. Depends on the team.

[NTA]

Terrible option on your 22 by Australia.

[NTA]

Pommentator has it right: why are we going like headless chickens when we've got the pace and nous to control it?

[NTA]

Fucking awful call ref - white jersey straight to deck with ball carrier, sealing it off

[Machpants]

Well done USA, big turn around

[NTA]

Can't push people like that, either.

[NTA]

We refused to play with patience when we had the ball, and that cost us.
