2023 World Sevens Series

[Bones]

@Stargazer said in 2023 World Sevens Series:

Way. too. sloppy.

Just going through the motions as they know they're through I reckon.

[Bones]

That was sweeeeeet.

[Stargazer]

@Bones I'd rather finish 1st in the pool (playing GB in the Cup QF) than 2nd (Argentina).

As I write that, Cody Vai scores a try; nice assist from Nicole.

12 - 7 AB7s

[Bones]

Ormond is absolutely on fire.

[Stargazer]

FT: AB7s 12 - 7 South Africa

Through to the Cup QF:

Sunday
5.24pm: New Zealand v Great Britain

[Bovidae]

SA needed to win by 30 pts so there was never any urgency from NZ.

[Stargazer]

This was a nice try.

[Crazy Horse]

I haven't watched a lot of Sevens the last few years, but in what I have seen of the NZ Sevens team this season I have been very impressed by their support play. I dont recall this being so good previously.

[Stargazer]

Australia just lost the QF to Argentina, who are playing very well. Not good for the Aussies' overall standing and Olympic qualification.

FT: Argentina 29 - 12 Australia

Now, France v Fiji.

[Stargazer]

Fiji lose a player to a red card. Can't see France winning this game, but it means Fiji will miss that player for the rest of the tournament.

[Stargazer]

Fiji going through to the Cup SF, after beating France 33 to 21

Now the AB7s v GB!

[Stargazer]

First try to Rokolisoa! Lucky with referee's call (or rather, no-call).

7 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Very messy game, but Carter scores the second try.

12 - 0 AB7s

[KiwiMurph]

Very physical by AB 7s

[Stargazer]

Nicole scores number 3.

HT: AB7s 17 - 0 GB

[Stargazer]

Brady Rush injured and in the bin.

GB scores.

17 - 5 AB7s

[KiwiMurph]

AB 7s had 7 on the field

[Stargazer]

GB get the penalty, because NZ had 7 players on the field.

[Stargazer]

Good try to Regan Ware.

22 - 5 AB7s

[Stargazer]

GB get the final say, scoring after the hooter.

FT: ABs7s 22 - 10 GB

We're through to the Cup SF:

8.35pm: ABs7s v Fiji
