Starting all of the old players is never a good sign.

..and that’s the final score.

No signs of improvement

Yeah apart from the brilliant try by Cook-Savage that was pretty cross.

I only tuned in at half time and was greeted by someone taking it to the line, creating space outside and just not passing. Turnover.

Next possession, pass it through the line, all passing ridiculously early, until it gets to the last man and he cuts in and gets swamped. Turnover.

There didn't seem to be anything other than those two plays pretty much. What the?

Fuck me one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on a rugby field by Leo. I'd be taking him off and sending him for an HIA.

[Bovidae]

Leo butchers two tries in 30 secs.

Arg were poor but that was NZ's best performance in a long time.

Yep - really, really good win by NZ up against a tough Argentina and a ref hell bent on ignoring Argentina infractions and bringing them back into the match. NZ fronted up in every facet.

A comfortable win for the BF7s over GB in their first game. Blyde with 2 tries in her 50th tournament.

Hooper debuting for Aust next.

NZ beat USA 12-7

It was 7-0 NZ for most of the game. USA levelled late then screwed up the kickoff and NZ took the lead back with a few seconds left

[antipodean]

France handed a golden opportunity to score a winning try against the BF7s and a knock on under pressure for the final pass.

[antipodean]

Another opportunity gifted with a scrum in the final seconds 5m out as a result of terrible handling and utter lack of direction.

France score and come top of their pool.

[Duluth]

NZ have Fiji in the QF’s at 11:24pm

What's noteworthy about that one?

[ACT Crusader]

Excellent first try off the restart

[ACT Crusader]

Slices through 2 NZ defenders

[ACT Crusader]

7-7 with 2mins left in the 1st half

[ACT Crusader]

Sheesh, sloppy pass Webber

[ACT Crusader]

Leo in no man’s land.

Came up too close and got skinned. Needed to stay back
