2023 World Sevens Series

[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

Yeah Rikki not understanding the call in commentary, thought it was the YC player hobbling off. Was just we had 7 on the pitch.

I picked it up on the replay when I was thinking they has gone around us because we only had 6 players so was counting the defenders... and nup. Disappointing they did that against a full defensive line.

[Bones]

AB7s looked absolutely knackered, barely into the second half.

Hard to see us beating Fiji, a few boys look battered, plus Nicole and Collier are in some pretty yuck form.

And Rush looked crocked

He'd be one of the battered few boys, yeah.
