Dear Lord, I just noticed the ref is Jordan Way.

[Stargazer]

Still no images of the game. No score yet if the website is up-to-date.

[Stargazer]

The clock on the website hasn't changed. It still says 0'. Not sure what's happening.

[Stargazer]

Samoa have scored.

0 - 5

[Stargazer]

The broadcast is back. The weather is REALLY BAD!

[Stargazer]

This is more water ballet than sevens.

Samoa scores again (after the hooter). The pass looked forward though. Try disallowed.

HT: AB7s 0 - 5 Samoa

[Stargazer]

Drainage at the ground isn't good. Lots of water on the field already.

[Bovidae]

Lakes on the field.

[Stargazer]

The assistant-ref saves us. Samoa looked to score again, but they're called back. Penalty NZ.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try to Rush!!

7 - 5 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Four and a half minutes to go in the second half.

Both Ng Shiu and Nicole already off injured. That's what a field like this does.

[Stargazer]

Samoa kick the ball out on the full.

Three and half minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Two and half minutes.

[Bovidae]

No consistency from the ref at the breakdown.

[Stargazer]

Dammit. Samoa score.

Jordan Way has so far penalised NZ, but not Samoa when needed.

7 - 12 Samoa

30 seconds to go.

[Stargazer]

Scrum Samoa. All they have to do is kick the ball out.

And then the images disappear again. Safe to say Samoa have won the game and the .

The ref had a lot to do with the score and the weather didn't help, but Samoa have overall been better in Cape Town, so not an unexpected result.

Still, silver is a good result for this young AB7s team.

A second place is good to climb on the Series ladder.

FT: AB7s 7 - 12 Samoa
