That ruck we were counter rucking and the Fijian clearly comes in from the side.

Bullshit call from the ref who's been poor

Sadly defence has let us down. Well done Fiji, worthy champs.

I'd argue turnovers in attack is the problem

[Crucial]

Well done Fiji. Happy for you.

[ACT Crusader]

Well done Fiji.

Poor start cost us.

[Nepia]

How could that tackled Fijian, with the defender still on him, get up to his knees and pass the ball? (Just before their final try).

Does 7s have different laws?

[Canes4life]

Fuck sake even Fiji has a gold before us.

Well played Fiji.

[Machpants]

Deserved gold medal, but I think we were Def second best. Bula Fiji, thankful to see some improvement in NZ.

[KiwiMurph]

Fiji better team.

NZ did bloody well with that squad.

[booboo]

Poo bum wees

[mofitzy_]

At least it was Fiji.

[ACT Crusader]

@roninwc not only came in from the side but on his knees too….

[Canes4life]

Get the broom out on this NZ Sevens side, most of these players are past it.

You've got it in your post. Tackler didn't release.

@canes4life
That would be true even if we'd won it.

Congrats to the NZ 7s boys. Silver is a great achievement and whilst disappointed, feeling pretty proud they got to the big dance.

Fuck sake l, we just made the final of the freaking Olympics.

Park your vitriol for a bit.

[sparky]

2024 Paris then. The hunt for Olympic Sevens Gold continues.....

[Stargazer]

Congrats to Fiji, the better team deservedly wins gold.

Still a good result for NZ. I didn't dare to hope for a medal, let alone a silver one.

This is your answer to everything 🙄

[Bovidae]

All the bad things about NZ came back to haunt them in the final. Webber was shit (no surprise) and Knewstubb missed his tackles. I would have taken a silver medal before the Olympic Games so not too disappointed.

Laidlaw's team for the final highlighted his lack of ambition. Time for a cleanout now with some young blood.
