Commonwealth Games (2022) - Sevens
-
@ACT-Crusader Valence is up there as one of my faves. Masoe and Muliaina were absolute guns when they came along too.
-
@Bones Valence could do it all out there. Agree on Masoe. The guy that really impressed me in 7s was Josh Blackie, when we won the Comm Games gold in 06 in Melbourne.
-
Young Barrett, DMac, and Mo'unga would all have been guns at sevens. Wonder how Fakatava would go?

I had no idea the Commonwealth Games were on this week until clicking on this thread.

Wait what? When does it start?

@canefan that's a pretty unbelievable team when you look back on it. Missing a Masoe/Akira type though but hey can't have everything.
Dallas Seymour was a Messam type at the time.
-
That team was super awesome even if they did include a carthorse
The mere idea these days of a sevens team including Cully, Lomu and Vidiri is dream team stuff.

He wasn't cart horsed until he moved to Chch, before that he was all flair.

Sure both played 7 for C-M but don't forget Dallas was an All Black!
Seriously though he was crucial at dealing with the Fijian physicality at the breakdown back then. Something NZ is almost incapable of doing these days.

I've just sat down in front of this opening ceremony for the past 5 minutes. What an absurdity. Could be a scene out of Zoolander.

Didn't see it, but it sounds great. Hoping it's the one with the gasoline fight.

@gibbon-rib Duran Duran piece might have saved it.

It's like they rounded up every Am-dram and community dance group they could get a bus ticket for an threw them some dress-ups.
Painfully cringy. -

Watching a gymnast wobble about climbing "human stairs" and then them thinking up a way to make Denise bloody Lewis look silly was something else.
-
Fijiana looking good. Smashing Scotland.
-
By the way, the first game was on by the Aussie women, who beat South Africa 38 - 0.
The best way to stay up-to-date with the sevens tournament is the fixture list on the WR website: https://www.world.rugby/tournaments/fixtures-results

I guess participation is awesome for the non-rugby nations, despite being absolutely crushed like Sri Lanka at the moment?
-
Time for Black Ferns 7s v Canada!
-
Great turnover from Blyde.
-
Oops. Deliberate knock down by one of the Canadians. Yellow card.
-
Ref should've blowed that up. NZ tapped it twice
-
First try goes to Woodman.
Nathan-Wong's kick is awesome!
7 - 0 NZ
-
Excellent try. Blyde scores.
Nathan-Wong can't convert this one.
12 - 0 BF7s
-
Oh no. Woodman injured. Her ankle.
-
Damn. She limps off the field. Hopefully it's not too bad.

Extra hair weight! Jeez that's some heair

NZ defence is ferocious!
Try Fluhler! Not converted.

Too easy. Step, another step, speed. Blyde scores again.
Nathan-Wong converts.

The Canadians deserved that try!

The BF7s look awesome on attack and defence
-
Some awesome passing from the BFs! I loved that!
Try Brazier. Converted by Pouri-Lane.
31 - 7 BF7s
-
That was a great individual try from Pouri-Lane!
She converts her own try.
38 - 7 BF7s
-
Lucky try there!
-
Haha, that was not intentional but that almost missed catch from Fluhler worked out great!
Try Saili! Converted.
Full time: BF7s 45 - 7 Canada

Awesome first game from the Black Ferns!
The men's round starts now.
