2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

NTA

And the NZ National Anthem plays after the try is scored.

Nice

We are lucky Canada are so complacent. Our ball skills are terrible. Even just dropping it cold while on the run.

That try slightly better.

@bones Isn't he from Horowhenu or Kapiti?

Jeez it's a rough biscuit from any angle, eh?

Stargazer

@bones Oh, yeah, he played for them, last year. IIRC, he was terrible at 15s?

Great tackle Knewstubb

Bones

@stargazer can't remember eh.

He's playing with a physicality he hasn't shown before, looks a lot higher on confidence eh.

lol Webber is shit. He's such a handbrake on your attack in midfield and an idiot at ruck time on defence.

KiwiMurph

Molia's form is in the toilet.

Bones

lol Webber is shit. He's such a handbrake on your attack in midfield and an idiot at ruck time on defence.

Because he started off the match with a turnover that set the tone?

What a dreadful effort. Good thing we were playing Canada.

Yeetyaah

I'm trying my hardest to enjoy sevens but I just can't. So many penalties and dumb shit. Maybe I've just watched the shit games.

I swear half of the penalties are refs just inventing shit.

Stargazer

I don't think the AB7s were that sh*t for most of the game, only the last few minutes the level went down.

KiwiMurph

@yeetyaah yeah between the standard of reffing and NZ's grinding style it's not a great watch. Hopefully the other quarters are better.

Yeetyaah

Ah yes NZ win, queue the overrated Australian band's music.
