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

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.

[Stargazer]

HT: NZ 0 - 7 Samoa

The AB7s have had very little possession in this first half.

[Higgins]

@Machpants Any time Sth African lose to a lesser ranked team is something to appreciate.

No, GB or Argentina in the Cup QFs.

Not after they also lose to Ireland in their last game as two losses will relegate them to the dunce's division.

[Stargazer]

We suck.

[Stargazer]

Try to Samoa.

0 - 14 Samoa with 1 min 30 secs to go.
