Unavailable due to injury: Tim Mikkelson, Rhodes Featherstone, Kitiona Vai, Joe Webber, Leroy Carter, Roderick Solo, Che Clark, Andrew Knewstubb

Unavailable due to injury: Tyla Nathan Wong, Shakira Baker, Tysha Ikenasio

Joe Webber, a bonus as thank f#ck he's not in the team!
For the life of me I cannot understand how he keeps making the AB 7's side.

As @Crucial said above, Tyla Nathan Wong is a huge loss to the Black Ferns.

The AB 7's in good form after winning the Los Angeles tourney and the Black Ferns are well, the Black Ferns and will always be there at the pointy end of any tournament. Given the recent shite with the AB's and Foster, over the past few years my favourite team to watch is the Black Ferns, in either 15's or 7's

C'mon the AB 7's and Black Fern 7's, let's go and get these trophies!!!

@Stargazer godammit still nothing on ITV and can't get the app to show me any coverage. I might have to send my 3rd ever tweet.

[Stargazer]

@Bones I'm watching games on World Rugby's website using VPN. Can't be bothered paying for a monthly Spark Sport sub for only three days of sevens.

[Stargazer]

@Bones It looks like ITV will only broadcast highlights.

[Bones]

@Stargazer boooo. Thanks for that.

So live coverage appears under the match centre?

[Stargazer]

@Bones Yes, and it looks like the UK is in the list of countries where it's not geo-restricted.

You need to register (free).

Canadian rugby really has regressed.

Speaking of cripple fights; Samoa vs USA.

[Bones]

Samoa smack up USA, toying with them in the end and carrying on long after the hooter. 40-12.

[Stargazer]

Yess, Amanaki Nicole scores the first try for the AB7s!
