@no-quarter Maybe that's the result of Kenya taking their first choice team to the Hong Kong 7s?

[Stargazer]

Kenya finally on the board. 40 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Geez, what were the Kenyans trying to do there? Trying to rob Baker of his few brain cells?

[Stargazer]

Full time: Nz 40 - 7 Kenya.

Awesome result. Now only Canada left (tonight).

[Machpants]

dominant by ABs 7s good to see. I hope the can keep that level consistently

Surely a yellow, legs above the horizontal in the tackle? Still no harm done I guess

[Stargazer]

@machpants Not a yellow. Would have been if they'd dropped him and he landed on the ground, but they didn't.

If they lift past hz they have a responsibility to lower him to the ground safely. Penalty (and prolly card) if you don't.

[Machpants]

OK so ref saved them

[Stargazer]

England women with a big win over Wales: 45 - 0.

It's very unlikely that Fijiana will beat the Aussies, but even then, I think England have a sufficiently big points differential to reach the semis.

[Stargazer]

Fijiana is putting up a fight! 5 all at half time against Oz.

[Stargazer]

Okay. Not quite half time yet, apparently.

[Stargazer]

Awesome game. 10 all with 2 and half minutes to go.

[Stargazer]

Fiji lose a player to the bin. That may cost them the game and a spot in the semis.

[Stargazer]

Casslick scores what may be the winning try.

[Stargazer]

Australia beats Fijiana 17 - 10. Still, a very good game from the Fijians. Australia looks beatable.

[Stargazer]

Confirmed:

Women's 5th-8th place semi-finals (in NZT):
11.31am: Fiji - South Africa
11.53am: Kenya - Wales

Women's medals semi-finals:
12.59pm: Australia v Canada
1:21pm: New Zealand v England

England has beaten Austalia in the men's tournament: 26 - 17.
That means that England has won its pool and is through to the medal semis.

[Stargazer]

Long injury break in the game between Kenya and Zambia; sad to see a player being stretchered off.

England looked pretty sharp running excellent angles making it hard for the OZ defenders.
