    In 7s, a deliberate knock-down is still yellow, unlike XVs. Fluhler gets a few minutes on the naughty seat.

    That was a great steal from Brazier.

    Now one of the Canadians gets yellow. Looked like she tried to use her leg to tackle a BF.

    Amazing try to Fitzpatrick. The TMO had to check whether she had a foot in touch, but they were still in the air when she dotted down.

    17 - 0 BF7s

    That's the full time score.

    The BF7s top their pool. Now they'll have to wait to find out who'll be their opponent in the QFs.

    That QF will be at 3.42am.

    First time since 99 the AB 7s haven’t made the quarters.
    Got some rough and bizarre calls against Oz but basically this way of play they are trying is pants. Just allows the opposition to press you back until you make an error

    @Crucial Though missing out on the QF because of a worse points differential.

    South Africa missing out as well.

    Our work at kickoff both ways is a major problem. Curry Mikkelsen and NG Shiu very good.

    That's quite the turnaround on previous fixtures. Just a blip tho.

    Terrible technique and that’s the coaches fault. They are lifting the catcher front on and exposing themselves to interference. Oz obviously spotted it in previous games and targeted the flaw.
    I don’t think it’s a blip. I think we have some good personnel but the strategy and style is just awful. This whole soaking and moving back waiting for an opportunity is a terrible strategy and doesn’t take advantage of our big bodies and breakdown abilities.
    The Black ferns by contrast go forward hard and look to shift the defence around

    Like the ABs, tactics haven't changed for a fair few years.

    In this case they have changed. Just for the worse.

    Go watch England implode against a 6 man Samoa.

    French crowd loved it

    Has there ever been 100 points racked up in a World Series 7s game?

    Didn't watch the game, but as expected, it was a clear win for the AB7s. They beat Spain 36 - 7.

    Watched the BF7s play Fijiana. Great match-up against a good team, but the BF7s were too good. They won 24 - 14.

    Men's 9th place play-off:
    2:08am: AB7s v Scotland

    Women's Cup Final:
    3:56am: BF7s v Australia

    The Aussie women looking very strong against Ireland in the semis. It will be a tough game for the BFs.

    The BF7s won the final, coming from behind to win 21-14.

    I'll have to watch a replay. Hirini was so influential in the SF win.
