2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)
-
Conservative and average selections by Laidlaw. Really lacking pace and x-factor out wide.
-
No Caleb Clarke 😮
-
5 years later Baker finally gets his Olympic shot.
-
@gunner said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):
No Caleb Clarke 😮
He is a travelling reserve.
-
@bovidae be pretty gutting for him missing AB caps (and the Blues SRTT Win) to sit in the stands most of the olympics, but I guess he knew this was a possibility?
-
Travelling reserves: William Warbrick, Caleb Clarke, Amanaki Nicole.
Travelling reserves: Tenika Willison, Jazmin Hotham, Terina Te Tamaki.

That info has ENS as a Waikato player.
The travelling reserves are listed on the graphics.
-
Feel sorry for Warbrick especially plus Nicole and Rokolisoa. ENS Dickson and Molia a bit fortunate based on what I have seen. Pleased for Baker to get the chance this time. Caleb Clarke must have been close but he seemed a bit slow on the turn and chase as a defender. We do seem short on express pace in the backs.

He's not been great this year, and wasn't impressive in the recent games. Then again, the mens's team looked crap Vs Fiji in total

Well hidden though. Design over function.

I liked the look of Warbrick, quick and has size. Molia, ENS and Baker are very lucky. You just know the latter will lose a game at some stage.

@stargazer In hindsight it’s too bad Eddie Nikita didn’t know he wasn’t going to make it his sleeve would’ve been awesome in Tokyo.

Those times Gazer: they NZT?
https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/rugby-sevens/olympic-schedule-and-results.htm states times are venue local time.
First match 10am Japan time, second 17:30 according to that.
-
For those that keep asking about times etc I can recommend the NZ Team' app for your phone.
When you go to the "Events' tab it not only shows the who and when in NZ time for each day, it continually refreshes with results so you can see at a glance how someone did.
It is actually quite a clean and useful little app.
-
@stargazer said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):
Yes, NZ times. If you click on the link under the picture, you get Japanese times, hence my comment "NZT = Tokyo + 3 hours".
Ah. I thought you were suggesting we needed to adjust by 3 hours.
-
Oh shit, they just showed some of the rugby refs for the Olympic sevens. Damon Murphy is one of them! Expect major f*ck-ups!
-
Luckily Rasta isn't involved.
-
In Aus TOK23 is the sevenplus channel ID for rugby ...coverage 12pm AEST
-
@stargazer Is Rasta one of them? Remember he was the choice to ref the Rio final.
-
Japan vs Fiji to start. Japan has a few foreign born including Colin Bourke. 7 all
-
@stargazer said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):
Edited to add that try scorer Chichito has serious speed.
12-7 Fiji so far.. coverage is available in Aus
-
Wow, half time score is Fiji 12 - 14 Japan.

Eddie been coaching them?
-
Japan beat NZ in the opening round of Rio 2016 remember.
-
@Stargazer And now 12 - 19, scarcely believable!
-
lol 19-12 Japan
Japan have some siginificant size which is helping them, I suspect good give a few teams a nudge. Fiji just need to be more accurate, they look a bit shell shocked at the moment
-
@bayimports Must have taken heed of your advice 19 - 19, three minutes left. That increases to 24 - 19 to Fiji as I type this.

a bit lucky actually, they finally pounced on a Japan mistake.. but Japan still giving them a head ache
-
Fiji now leading 24 - 19.
-
@stargazer said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):
Fiji now leading 24 - 19.
starting to hit their straps, looked much better in that phase
-
Deliberate knock-on Fiji, who now have a man in the bin.
-
Japan butcher that.
FT: Fiji 24 - 19 Japan.
