    Back to Ellia Green for a second: is this tournament happened in 2020, maybe she plays.

    Just like maybe some of our swimmers don't get gold medals because it's a year early

    People are talking up Manenti as a potential Waratahs coach but he's showing me nothing.

    The commentators keep raving on about us being defending gold medalists but that completely ignored the hole we have fallen in

    Naivety shown by Fiji in the last 2 mins, which nearly cost them.

    Wow, wow, wow. Who would have thought before the Games that Australia would not make the semis and that Fijiana would?

    While I feel sorry for the Aussies, I'm really happy for the Fijians! Just hope they don't beat us, tomorrow. 😃

    Anyone paying attention would have gone 50-50 on that

    @nta I didn't find Fijiana so convincing during the Oceania Sevens that I thought they were better than the Aussies; would still have given the Aussies the better chance of a spot in the Top 4. During the Games, Fijiana definitely lifted their game.

    In RWC2003 we hosted the best event seen in this country since the Olympics, and probably since. We squandered that opportunity in short order.

    The Gold medal in 2016 has a similar feel - other nations have advanced their women's game, and I know on the ground women's participation is up, but we simply haven't capitalised on it.

    Players like Green and Caslick are playing league to get a bit of extra money, and because they're wasn't regular competition in 7s sure to rugby's sheet ineptitude here.

    They beat us once during that series, and that was enough for me. We weren't firing except for the odd individual break, and Fiji soaked that up.

    Just thinking. Women's 7s needs more depth if Not-Russia is a QF.

    Having said that am surprised Canada missed out.
