2023-2024 World Sevens Series

[Duluth]

Good run by Vai but he can't link up with the support

21-7 USA at HT

NZ need a bonus point to make the QFs

[Duluth]

US with a dodgy try, ref missed a obvious forward pass

28-14 USA with 3mins left

[Duluth]

NZ need the conversion to scrape into the QFs

..and it misses

Another sub par performance, although not helped by a string of bad calls in the middle of the game

Referee just handed Great Britain a spot in the top four after three dodgy decisions in a row against Australia after the clock had run down

[Daffy Jaffy]

Who would;ve picked a northern sweep for the semi's -
Ireland, GBR, France and Spain!

[ARHS]

Hmm. That interview with Tomasi Cama said it all for me. He seemed to be on another planet. His selections defy logic.
Webber and Curry were forced to do too much, but gave 100%. Solo, Cook Savage and Fineanganofo saw little game time but show more threat and play making smarts than others.
Rush is a good link player but no creator. Vai is a good attacker but needs big big improvements in ball retention and defence. And Clark, well I just expect a whole lot more accuracy and work rate.
It really reinforces just how much Rokolisoa, Carter, MGB and Mikkelsen add.
Knewstubb was good for first tournament back but not at his best yet.
Just can't fathom what the plan is from Cama though.

I wasn't surprised to see that the men crashed and burned again. The fact that Dickson, as captain, plays the full game and adds nothing proves that the problems start with selection.

I can't believe that the lack of pace from the 30+ yr olds isn't so obvious to Cama and co.

[Bovidae]

And the BF7s have made the final vs Aust.

[Machpants]

Cama seems to have no idea, lots of positive vibe sound bites, along with the previous disgusting 'we're building to Olympics' - nope not good enough

[NTA]

BF7s dominant win against Australia in the final of LA.

[Bovidae]

Miller was knocked out in the 1st min but they never showed how. Blyde with a hat-trick.

29-14

[Daffy Jaffy]

Hong Kong sevens pools -

[Machpants]

How embarrassing to be on the bottom of the pool lists, probably more times under cama in one season, than any other coach before over all their seasons

[Bovidae]

[Bones]

@Bovidae has Ng Shiu been out for a while? Great to see him there.

[Bovidae]

@Bones Yes, a long time. He was in a men's team that played in a tournament in Fiji recently, along with some other returning players like Collier.

[Duluth]

He was way off the pace in LA.

Here is the full schedule for both NZ teams.
