2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[NTA]

Closer than I thought - Canada's discipline not great but they scrum well enough at the whistle to get into the sheds 12-5.

[NTA]

You can tell the teams with experience: they look to cut in from the outside decisively, where the newbies run laterally and telegraph it

[NTA]

Caslick has lost it. Some terrible decision making and execution not only here but in Townsville and Auckland

[NTA]

Too slow by Nathan on the wing and ROC get one back to be down 7-14

[NTA]

Tonegato shakes a defender and plus Australia 21-7 up.

Exemplifies my point about our individuals being saviours because our game management looks ordinary

[NTA]

FINALLY a decent short ball.

Was forward, but still better from us

[NTA]

Australia 35-7 Not-Russia

@nta said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):

Too slow by Nathan on the wing and ROC get one back to be down 7-14

That was a great pass to put the Russian away.

WTF is with the standard of refereeing? Knock-ons and obvious forward passes missed/ ignored routinely.

[NTA]

@antipodean it's deplorable.

Get Rassie in here!

[NTA]

Alright. WW3 about to kick off as USA and China try to get into the 5-6 playoff

[NTA]

USA 7-7 China with 2 gone

[NTA]

USA hit back from 95 metres out to go up 14-7.

[NTA]

Ooh China kick ahead - good tactic against Thomas who just scored the long range try. Looking for grounding but it's no good. China will be kicking themselves.

[NTA]

Yellow card China for a high tackle. Could have been red. USA drop it go again and score.

Another forward pass missed in the leadup tho. Jeez.

USA 21-7 halftime. Big ask for China to get 3 scores from here with 6 players for 1 minute

[NTA]

Oh fuck two players down and in agony. Not great for either team

[NTA]

China kick through again and score. They're using the tactics Australia should have used to turn the bigger yanks around

Kicl goes over from out on the tram tracks.

USA 21-14 China with 3 to go but USA break on the wing and probably seal it. Kick misses

USA 26-14 China

[NTA]

Oh ref that was offside after the knock on. Should have been penalty USA

[NTA]

China drop it and that's probably the game with under a minute to go

USA play Australia for 5th

[NTA]

USA score on the bell to win 33-14
