2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[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

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

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

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.

Terrible option on your 22 by Australia.

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.

[Stargazer]

The Americans should just have kicked for goal. They were right in front. Adding points is important.

[Stargazer]

Next: GB v Kenya.

Then: Black Ferns v ROC.

Does the PD add to seeding for finals?

Nope they didn't need to. But right in front of the posts, actually easier than the sideline!

Rebound off crossbar, Aussie pick it up, run length of field for win

[NTA]

You'd think this will be a stroll for the GB team. Kenya need to add some sophistication to the size.

In hindsight, not in this game. It may matter if you finish on the same number of competition points, esp if you're third in your pool and points differential is close.

[Machpants]

@stargazer yeah they topped the pool
