2023 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Team try to Carter.

33 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Now Lewis Ormond dotting down. The USA are awful.

38 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Seventh AB7s try goes to McGarvey-Black.
45 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Try to Brady Rush. The USA have given up. They didn't even try to stop that try.

52 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

That's the full time score.

Here we go. I don't expect this to be an easy game for the AB7s.

keep saying that stuff!

BFs dealing with GB
Blyde wins a foot race chasing Joyce. Runs her down then wins a turnover.
Such an awesome player.

[Crucial]

Mind you Fluhler/Waaka, Woodman-Wickliffe and Hirini also all time greats and TN-W getting there as well (50th tournament)

[Crucial]

Another decent winfor the BF 7s. 43-7 over GB

@Crucial

Getting run down by Blyde must feel like being hunted by a T-1000, she's an absolute machine.

Joyce is a gun player but she just heard those footsteps…..

Uruguay upset Fiji in the Men's 7s.

The Uruguayans have been great value this season.

[Higgins]

@KiwiMurph Haven't seen the game so must assume that Fiji either
i) turned up with only five players or
ii) had a red card or two issued against them

[Stargazer]

Another upset. Samoa just lost 12 - 14 to the USA.

Now AB7s v Spain.

[Stargazer]

Didn't watch the game, but the AB7s have defeated Spain 17 - 7.

Despite the AB7s having two wins and Samoa and the USA only one, it's still a tricky pool. We can still miss out of the Cup QFs if we lose to Samoa in the next game, because the USA is likely to beat Spain.

Surely not possible when we beat USA by 52 points. Points difference will come into it. Well technically possible but realistically not gonna happen.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Yeah, it's a bit of a theoretical possibility. The AB7s would have to be particularly bad against Samoa and the USA should have a try fest.

[Stargazer]

I see the Aussie men lost their game to Canada 12 - 29. They've really fallen off the cliff after winning the first (Hong Kong) tournament, because Canada are pretty average these days.

Lost a couple of key players but yeah, they have really gone off the boil. Olympic qualification is going to get ugly

[Crucial]

Blyde does it again vs Fijiana. Give a player a 10 metre start then mows her down and forces a turnover. Followed up moments later with a half break and angled run to the line.
