2023 World Sevens Series

And that absolute bollocks of a call upfield just gets multiplied downfield.

[booboo]

Nah fuck.

Fuck em

Are we leading a game with Jordan Way reffing? I'm sure he'll fix that in the second half.

You were right.

[Bones]

Great performance by Jordan, really pulled it out of the fire for a thrilling win.

[ARHS]

That was rough. How was SA not penalised for illegal side entry just before the card to Nicole? BS call on Sam Dickson before that. Mind you Che Clark pass looked a bit forward.
Typical Jordan Way with a run of breakdown penalties against NZ. Deja vu all over again.

Improved performance by NZ though. The leaky midfield defence seemed vastly improved on second day. Tangitau looks really good. Carter and Rokolisoa always a threat too.

[Stargazer]

@ARHS Yep. The AB7s were better than SA and deserved that spot in the final. The ref decided the outcome of this game, not the teams.

The AB7s are really improving. Maybe Cama is also a better coach than Laidlaw?

Hopefully, the lads bounce back and claim bronze.

[booboo]

It's Laidlaw's fault for being fat.

Bronze Final (men):

3.07am: AB7s v USA

The men's Final is at 4.26am.

Stayed behind because he was stuck in his lazyboy I heard.

[Stargazer]

Great try scored by Blyde!

[Stargazer]

The Black Ferns 7s are destroying the USA in the semi!

29 - 0 with less than 3 minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

FT: BF7s 36 - 0 USA

The girls are in the Final!

[Stargazer]

It won't surprise anyone, but the Black Ferns will play Australia in the Final. Aussies way too good for France (26 - 5).

K/o 3.56am.

[Crucial]

3rd place for the men and second for the women.

Not a bad result for the BFs considering the class that was unavailable. No Fluhler, Woodman, Hirini, Tui, Fitzpatrick is a lot of experience to lose

[ARHS]

Thought Blyde and Rokolisoa were the best players on show at the event.
Was annoyed by the TJ intervention in bronze v USA. Very soft yellow and a mockery of the rules. But they rose above it.
Pretty impressive performances by both teams with so many stars missing.

Phew!

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Hopefully, his overall swansong and not just sevens, because I don't want to see him back in black & white hoops ever again! The only Magpies fullbacks I want to see in 2023 are named Makene, Godfrey, Visinia or, preferably, Sullivan.

[Higgins]

@Stargazer As a member of Napier Tech for more than 40 years, I am somewhat nervous if he restricts his participation to club level only! My heart may not be able to withstand the palpitations brought on by some of his more adventurous play, particularly those that come unstuck!
