NMB with good chase. Not sure what the Irish got to do to concede a penalty there...

21-21

[booboo]

2mins

[booboo]

Try to goodies

26-21. 30 secs

Try to AK. Both me and Mrs Boo telling him to kick it out. 31-21 final. Closer than that.

Maybe. Got them mixed up earlier.

Cama doesn't seem to have settled on his best seven. I'd be starting NMB.

Watching back Roidboks v Aussies.

How the fuck is direct head on head contact, where the tackler stands straight up onto the oncoming man, deemed low degree of danger? That's a fucking red all day

[NTA]

Anyway, suck Roidboks. You had the ref on your side most of the game but still fucked it.

And now you get to beat us in the QF 🙄 this 12 team system sucks

[Bovidae]

The BF7s beat the USA 37-0.

I hadn't realised that Sariah Ibarra was now in the USA squad. She spent her final year of school at Hamilton GHS last year and made the NZ Girl's U18 sevens team.

QFs

Men - vs Spain at 1:51 pm
Women - vs Canada at 5:38 pm

[KiwiMurph]

It's crazy how bad 7s refs are

And it never improves

Spanish player cuts the corner to the breakdown right in front of the ref and he does nothing

[KiwiMurph]

Same old story for AB 7s (emphasis on old)

Old and slow which means they have to work so hard to score any points - which means they can never put true scoreboard pressure on the opposition

[Bovidae]

Ball skills have let NZ down so far.

[Bovidae]

How predictable. Lose to Spain again in ET.

And speed.

What's with NZ rugby and past it players being given chance after chance

It's a plague.

[Bovidae]

Yep. Watching Molia and Collier get caught easily from behind highlighted that.

Generally the defence was really good but NZ had chances to score a second try to seal the game but weren't good enough because they lack speed when the ball goes wide.

[Bovidae]

The BF7s do win their QF beating hosts Canada 34-12. Their prize is a SF against Aust (10:36 am NZT).
