Commonwealth Games (2022) - Sevens

[Stargazer]

Carter scores another one. I thought he wasn't going to make it, but he just had to stretch his arm for that try.

26 - 7 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Looked like a try to me. Rokolisoa had control; the Aussie knocked on (had no control). Not awarded.

[Crucial]

Carter is such a rooster

[Stargazer]

@Crucial I find him very Kurt Baker-like.

[Stargazer]

Nice dive, but did the Aussie score? Looked in touch.

[MiketheSnow]

Great try

[Stargazer]

Wow, that was amazing! Great try from Patterson.

26 - 12 AB7s

Yeah. I thought the same. Maybe not quite as punchable but certainly loves to wind up the opposition indirectly

[Stargazer]

Tangitau almost scored, but he was held up. Great tackle.

It's full time and the AB7s also win bronze!

FT: AB7s 26 - 12 Aussie 7s

Pretty average return, 2 bronzes. Our worst for a while I guess, sadly

Par for the course in the current cycle 😉

The predictions were a gold and silver but sevens is often a coin toss.

[MiketheSnow]

Great start from Oz

[Stargazer]

@Machpants It's disappointing, but it's still only one loss in the entire tournament for both teams.

Hopefully they'll do better at the World Cup Sevens later this year.

Well whoopie fukin kayay a total of 2 bronze medals. Wow. About right for the state of NZ rugby currently. Maybe we should look at the cycling coaches to replace Foster.

Women v Girls

🇦🇺 17-0 🇫🇯
Halftime

[Bovidae]

The BF7s won the Olympic gold which is much more prestigious than a CG gold.

Give it a rest. It’s sevens. You can end up out of the semis on one call or bounce of ball. Draw also plays a huge part.
A different draw and we may be in the final. Not saying we would win it but at least acknowledge the nature of the sport before flying in with the negativity

[Stargazer]

Congrats to the Aussie women; a deserved gold medal!
