2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[NTA]

Williams with a captain's knock again

[NTA]

Ashby in the other corner. Reducing the errors and passing before they're on top of us.

Australia 10-0 at halftime.

USA will just want the ball for 3 minutes and they can win

[NTA]

The yanks don't need to drop it like that

[NTA]

Slow it down. No need to go mental

[NTA]

Better cohesion around the ruck from us. Go for the lineout!

USA might need to think about that extra half step back on defence

The Americans going 2 to a tackle which leaves them short

[NTA]

Good run from the dangerous emba who was not marked on any serious fashion by Nathan

USA 7-10 Aus

[NTA]

Fucking great work stretching the yanks right then left to put Hayes in.

Caslick finally shows her skills.

Australia 17-7 USA

[NTA]

Don't go to sleep now girls

[NTA]

Oh that was silly but the game is gone.

Australia 17-7 USA.

Thank fuck. Finished 5th.

For anyone who missed it -

[Bovidae]

Blyde will be starting for the BF7s.

Can someone please explain how Blyde’s high tackle in the SF didn’t result in a Penalty Try and YC?

[NTA]

Oh that's beautiful.

Fiji up 7-0 after some superb offloads.

Beginners in 7s could learn so much from watching Fiji

[MiketheSnow]

That was rubbish from GB

Pushed Joyce to the touchline

Agreed. The last runner before her took too much space

Oh great tackle

Shit reffing all tournament.
TBH I’m not convinced it was even high but concede that by the sevens standard it was.
There is no high tackle law. It is dangerous tackle. Riding someone down with an over shoulder wrap isn’t dangerous by any stretch.

[NTA]

England collapse at scrum but no sanction: again, where's the consistency?

[Toddy]

@mikethesnow I think Rassie will be releasing a presentation soon.

[NTA]

Sensational - same method but 80m upfield

Understand that, but if the infringement hadn’t occurred the Fijian would have scored.

Ergo Penalty Try and YC
