@Higgins Bad weather on the way. I think there's a worry about lightning strikes.

[Duluth]

NZ v USA game happened about 2hours late because of the weather. NZ won 36-15. Surprisingly few mistakes given the surface water

When is the game v Samoa now?

[Bovidae]

I watched most of the NZ-Chile game. A much closer 2nd half, even when a Chilean was given a YC.

[Stargazer]

That's going well ...

[ARHS]

Great skills by nz in horrid conditions v USA. The Webber and Carter midfield is becoming more potent all the time. Collier v good today

Final Score
Suth Africa 05 - 10 Uruguay A miracle of majestic proportions!

[KiwiMurph]

@Higgins Uruguay played the conditions really well.

Not a follower of 7's but yes it is wet here in SoCal. Been a pretty wet winter over here with snow in the hills where I live. Nothing torrential just a steady flow. Looks like it might stop tonight.

[Stargazer]

Going throught the results, I see there have already been three upsets:

Argentina lost to GB: 5 - 7
Australia lost to Kenya: 7 - 12
and - as mentioned - South Africa lost to Uruguay: 5 - 10

[Higgins]

@Stargazer The first one still sees the loser retaining the Falkland Islands Silver Medal.

Not sure that great, means we play them in the quarters, right?

[Stargazer]

Our debutant - Fehi Fineanganofo - is a strong lad. Has to work hard in this game, already.

[Stargazer]

Like just now. Good try saver by holding the ball up in-goal.

[Stargazer]

Unfortunately, he couldn't do it a second time. Try Samoa.

Huge physical game from Samoa again. NZ struggling.

0 - 7 Samoa

[Stargazer]

Ref missed a knock-on from Samoa.
