Looks like they're only selling low alcohol beer for the most part this year with exception of the Pavilion Bar. Was thinking of showing up today and buying a ticket but won't bother this year.

@Rugger-Quizzes seems silly to make that the only option.
Give them choice, 1 4-5% and then 3 or 4 low alcohol, not giving them the choice just makes it worse IMO

For all of you in Aussie who are interested in 7s: if you didn't know this already, the Wellington 7s will be televised LIVE on FOX Sports 2 (ch 256).
I'm only watching if my fridge has full strength beer

Can't believe how many wallaby supporters have turned up in their ugly yellow outfits

It seems a bit stupid. I can down a lot of light beer but if I have a quality IPA, I probably only want to drink one or two.
Anyway, we look pretty good here against Samoa.

Old firm like DJ and Timmah looked good.
Good start by AB7s

Take the win.
Didn't see the game. Was busy. But as an aside is the mobile version of the WR Sevens website as useless as I think it is?
I can't for the life of me find a schedule for matches on there. Straightforward on the full website on the laptop.

This should hopefully be the last Sevens the capital ever gets. What a joke compared to the glory days. I can sense the lack of hops in the beer from the gritted teeth Facebook updates I'm getting.

When the event is no longer about yhe sport ...
Reckon all stadiums in NZ should be low strength. Mid at most.
Enjoyed the footy I watched today on tele. Looked like it would be very civilised at the game.

NZ beats the USA 24 to 12 and finish first in the pool. The AB7s will play Fiji in the Cup QF tomorrow at 1.00pm.
Must admit that 3 out of 3 is more than I had hoped for when the team was announced. So well done! That 18 year old newbie, Vilimoni Koroi, looks promising. Scored his first try in this last game.
The AB7s didn't have the most difficult pool, so tomorrow will be a lot harder, although Fiji is not last year's Fiji ...

What's with Scooters Billy Idol sneer - did they push one of his plugs too far down and he had a stroke?
