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.
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.

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?

Just checked the TicketDirect website and if that site is correct, it's almost impossible to get silver zone tickets, or at least to buy them online. So many seem to be unavailable, what's up with that? Most available tickets seem to be in the premium area or in the areas behind the posts. Is this site reliable? Or have they all been reserved for sale at the ticket booths? It's unimaginable that that many tickets have been sold.

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.
Thank god for that, I thought it was me, the mobile app and site are completely useless for up coming fixtures and results.

Are you guys talking about this new app?
If not, you can also download them from this page: http://www.worldrugby.org/sevens-series/app?utm_source=t.co&utm_medium=referral

On the rugby. Looking pretty sharp, not as good as we used to be, but you can sense there's quite a bit more confidence and application. Curry, Forbes and Mikkelson were huge. Still have no fucking clue about Collier but it is what it is. Khan looks a lot more confident and is starting to step up, as well as Iopu-Aso who is starting to beast it...How much does he resemble a young Kaino. Lastly, Koroi is a star in the making, what poise, vision and skill for a kid.

Thanks @Stargazer
Haven't downloaded the App. Just the web page when accessed on my mobile doesn't have links to a schedule.

plenty of people moaning on social media about the atmosphere and lack of people at the 7s...
Think the Wellington CC, Westpac Stadium and NZR do need to look at things and how they can breathe life into this event again.
People inevitably comparing it to the 9s which IMO is not a fair comparison, 1 that is in what, its 3rd year, being in Auckland is more accessible to a larger number of people, we dont get a huge amount of top class league in NZ compared to rugby.
