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

GB butchering chance after chance

[voodoo]

@mikethesnow good reverse jinx

Pressure from Fiji is generally good - particularly the blonde tips winger on Joyce.

GBR go in a minute after halftime when Fiji's over eager scrum lets them down again.

14-5

Not counting them out but GBR need a load more ball

[Bovidae]

Breakdown penalties are a lottery with this ref.

[NTA]

Fiji sort their discipline out and they'll win either side of the ball

[Bones]

GB look like they've never played rugby before.

Have been all tournament with this Portugese guy

Hoping Perrett is the ref for the final.

[voodoo]

What happened to the Aussie girls this tourney? When they beat our girls 4 years they were something else, just levels above in terms of speed and ability to attack space

[taniwharugby]

@bovidae I've found 7s breakdown penalties more confusing than 15s...

Good to see a true representation of the sport at the Olympics then
