2023 World Sevens Series

@Steven-Harris. Agreed. Thought the ref in NZ v Samoa qf was inconsistent with rulings also. You want all refs in a 7s tournament to be similar with breakdown rulings and vigilance re forward pass and knock on.
Spencer looks like a keeper for NZ. Has good composure and urgency. Rush is getting better and Solo looks very good.
Still worried about limited linebreak capability in this team. Just Carter and Rokolisoa creating regularly. Several of our players seem to be slowing down a bit and some newbies not showing enough composure in recent events.
Maybe the restricted and structured game plan is a good idea as the team introduces a few new players. Hope to see more of Vai and Cook Savage as well as Spencer and Solo.
NZ women have transitioned well. Miller Kaka and Hotham are all front line performers now. Tyla seems a bit off her game currently. If her kick accuracy returns they will be hard to beat.

Might head in tomorrow. $20 ticket, free public transport included. Will be a warm day but the stadium looks ace
This is the Sydney 7s? I didn't even know it was on. I did sweet fuck all today so might have gone for $20 to check out the stadium.
I'll shout the first round.
And the fucking tickets weren't $20 😡 but I got a deal through the club for $30
Eek, you got jibbed.
I've got stuff on today so can't go.
Weird that I haven't seen any advertising for it whatsoever. Usually they have those flag things advertising it.

I had no idea it was on this weekend, otherwise we would've gone.

Ref shows hesitation in following TMO's recommendation and seems to want to see the try on the big screen, but changes his mind and decides to follow TMO. Result: yellow card for the GB player for an early tackle and penalty try to Ireland. I think the TMO got that wrong. Now the momentum has changed and Ireland scores again, taking back the lead. Not good.
FT: Ireland 21 - 19 GB

@NTA Who got the red card? And what for?
One of the Samoan guys for a lifting tackle. Aussie player gave him a bit of a forearm across the throat on the ground after. Could have easily been 2 Reds with penalty reversed
