2023 World Sevens Series

@Bovidae We are not giving away the breakdown penalties so readily this tournament. Bodes well. Need to keep Moneta in check though. I hope Solo starts the final.

@ARHS It all comes down to the ref. I thought that Nick Hogan (a Kiwi) penalised Fiji off the park in the last 2 mins of the SF.

I have also noticed that players trying to roll away are often held in, and get penalised. That happened to Carter against GB when his leg was quite clearly held. Obviously coached to win penalties.

Laidlaw needs to pick the right starting seven. I was surprised that Dickson, Collier and Nicole all started vs Aust, and their lack of pace on defence was exposed a couple of times.

19 all between Samoa and GB in the 5th place play-off. Samoa had a man in the bin when GB scored their last try.

Going to extra time. GB win the coin toss.

[Stargazer]

Quite a long extra time (2 x 5 minutes?) for sevens.

[Stargazer]

Excellent attack from Samoa. That was awesome! They score the winning try and finish 5th.

Golden point though.

Australia nearly came back in that bronze final, but Fiji win 21 - 19.

Now time for the final!

lol second try you mean he was in beast mode in that half

[Bovidae]

I was expecting NZ to just kick the ball out to end the half, but they had other ideas. Carter on fire.

[Stargazer]
