2019-2020 World Sevens Series
-
Rubbish format for this tournament. South Africa out already and France gifted a semi. Most of the crowd leave the stands when nz and Fiji not playing. Huge numbers leaving the stadium altogether. Quite a bizarre day here really. But there have been some hi quality games and complicating draws. Never seen the crunch matches played in second round before. Huge advantage for teams playing last tomoro when points diff will count for many. Bizarre!

Crap isn't it. Sevens is too fickle to have that. It's like T20 cricket. Something doesn't go your way and you are out. That doesn't find the best team, which is the point of the contest I thought. They are just too short to get a result that are representative of the teams overall ability.

Particularly when one average decision by the ref ends your weekend.
