Vancouver 7s:<br><br>
NZL beat England 7-0 and <strong>France 24-0</strong>.<br>
They've now qualified for the Cup Quarter Finals, but it depends on the last pool game v USA (3.44pm) whether they'll finish top of the pool.</p></blockquote>
<br>
Pretty sure France scored two tries ... <br><br>
Yeah 24-10 just checked.<br><br>
Looked quite good against the Yanks at 17-5. -
<p>I watched the game vs USA and was pleasantly surprised with our stoic defence (until the last play)</p>
<p>Just refused to let the USA do anything meaningful with the ball, and managed to keep Perry Baker out until the very last second.</p>
<p>Had Rasta ref not been sat on his arse in the 2nd half, we would have scored another try. But hey.</p>
<p>A bloody good effort without any real stars and an aging DJ Forbes..</p> -

<p>Lol, the first minute against Aussie they looked good. Then holy shit. That was just a complete clusterfuck.</p> -
<p>Interesting team selections by Tietjens. He seems to be now using Baker as the no.1 halfback and Mikkelson spends most of his time in the backs again. When Timmy did pack down a scrum the Samoans nearly won the ball against the feed. Obviously Tietjens is still tinkering with combinations and will need to incorporate the Super players again in May.</p>

<p>BTW we are facing AUS in the semi as they came back against the Scots to win 24-17</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think Titch is playing with ideas a bit and not forecasting his Olympics gameplan too much either.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>He was very keen on Pulu for a while and using a sniping halfback. Will be interesting to see how much Ben Lam's withdrawal affects the plan.</p> -
<p>after losing to Canada, Australia regroup to beat Fiji for third place 19 - 12</p>

<p>It cracked me up when the US coach told his players at halftime 'they've got no wheels!'.</p>
<p>Yep. Nailed it, you pommy git.</p> -
<p>Didn't look grounded, but I'll take it! :whistle:</p>

<p>NZ says eff that, and scores twice.</p>
