I missed the game. We’re we being too cute and not getting the balance between old heads and youth right? When we do we are the best in the comp. That’s a poor result against an Oz side that has been struggling.
Very disappointed they benched Solo and started with Leo. Benched Carter early too and Rokolisoa on a bit late. Leo can run but lacks the other skills and it is costly. Collier looked a bit slow too. This time spreading the matches and combos around cost them. But not much in it.

BF 7s took out the final against Oz to balance the books. That's four tourneys in a row!
It was a tight final but Hirini was huge, and saved Miller's Minties moment. Both teams made early handling errors - nerves.

Should that have been a penalty try for deliberate knock on?

Yes, I think so.
If the ball had spilled forward because the tackler ripped the carrier's arms away, then no. But that was a deliberate punch forward.

I think Miller lost the ball backwards because the Aussie player pulled/pushed her arm. I don't think the Aussie touched the ball.

Is Leroy Carter a decent halfback? The only times I remember watching him play xv's he was on the wing and he went ok
Yes. Was always a half back until BOP put him on the wing. He was a better nine than triple T when bop signed both.

@booboo To me, it's inconclusive.
From a still as opposed to the slomo video? I think you might be in a minority.
Not worth debating because Hirini scored immediately, but I think the ref missed that.

@booboo Men's pools A and D are considerably stronger than the other two, and the top two teams of both of these pools will face each other in the QFs. Australia and France will be happy. Only the USA is able to throw a spanner in the works.

Watch the slow-mo reply, ball clearly punched out of her hand, the Aussie girl got all ball and didn't hit Millers hands at all.
Also, it was Stacey who saved Miller here as she got over the ball after the Aussie girl scooped it up earned the penalty which Hirini quickly tapped and went over unopposed as the Aussies were caught napping.
A question on Stacey, she was Waaka until married, then went with Fluhler. In Hamilton she went with Waaka-Fluhler to honour her family. Next tournament at Sydney she was back with Fluhler and now, two weeks later, she's Waaka.
Separated from her husband maybe?
