Olympic Sevens 2024

Duluth

Some good offloads and support play. Seems like an improvement from what I saw of the tournaments earlier in the year

I only saw the SA game but NZ still has a problem with a lack of speed out wide as only a few players like Leo look to be able to beat an opponent for pace. Hopefully we see Carter more involved.

The crowd seem a long way from the action here and rather quiet. Not the standard 7s festival atmosphere.

They were fucking loud during the games I watched. Yes they're a ways back, but vocal.

Not going to get as many of the dressups and themes I guess...

So is the 7s comp going to be all finished before the games even start?

Only the Men's. The Women's competition starts on Monday NZT.

So nations could win a medal before the opening ceremony? Impressive.

@canefan Some of the athletes involved in the 7s will be flying home before the Opening Ceremony.

The organisers have said that they have placed the 7s this early so they can utilise the main stadium and for 'environmental reasons'

@Windows97

No the men's final is on Saturday.

Bit of a bummer for the athletes, barely getting to enjoy the Olympic experience

I don't think this is true.

Saturday night (Aus/NZ time) after the Opening Ceromony the day before there are playoff games for 11th, 9th, 7th, 5th, 3rd and the Gold medal match.

In other words all teams play a game the day after the Opening Ceremony

If they are allowed to stay, then great. Free food, free booze, every day parties and some super heavy spading; sex was traditionally known as the parallel games

Aussies take down Argentina! Marky Mark with a crucial involvement to help seal it

Uruguay stuck it up USA early after Baker did Baker things. That Lacamp guy is so good tho. The Uruguay boys have some gas.

@NTA Great result for Aussie.
