    Two tries to the AB7s in the first four minutes. The first a great try from Nanai-Seturo, stepping his way through the Aussie defence.
    Then Amanaki Nicole scoring the second. Both tries converted by Knewstubb.

    Longbottom hits back to get the Aussies on the board.

    After the half time hooter, Nicole scores his second. Knewstubb converts again.

    HT: NZ 21 - 5 Australai

    By the way, the AB7s have another injury: Luke Masirewa. Taylor Haugh has come onto the bench.

    The AB7s are going through to the Cup SF after beating Australia 26 - 17. That was way too easy. They'll play either the USA or England in the semis.

    @siam Yep, that isn't going to be an easy semi. AB7s will need to step up a gear, although they were pretty good in the QF.

    Fiji win it at the death after being down a man.

    Some wheels on that final try scorer.

    No surprise Rasta is making shit up to ensure we lose under him again.

    NZ hold up a player for about 10 seconds, he never gets to ground but Rasta calls tackle and gives an advantage against nz for no releasing. He really is a shit, bias ref.

    @bones yeah that was shocking. I’ve got sound down and I thought they must’ve changed the rules since the last game....

    Good try by Barrett. US up 19-0 HT

    @act-crusader and now calls a ruck, NZ counter ruck and drive USA off, so their player drags it back with his hand. Rasta ignores it, USA score. He's a fucken cheat.

    Well, USA deserve the win but Rasta sure is one of the worst referees around and definitely - in my biased mind - seems to favour any team against NZ. Never have that feeling about any other sevens ref.

    It's all good - this was his last Sevens tournament.

    Super Rugby next year... yay.

    Well done USA.

    Reffing was shocking. We are done 5-0 and defending well down our own end and as @Bones said hold a player up off the ground for an age and Rasta forgets to call a maul. Should’ve been a turnover and we get some possession. Except he penalises us and US score quickly next to the posts on a quick tap.

    Stitch up well and truly on. Confirmed straight after half time with I don’t know what Rasta was watching because US could’ve been penalised in 2 or 3 different ways right before the Baker try.

    Well hopefully Rasta doesn’t ruin the USA and Fiji game.

    I tend to believe that any referee is biased in almost any game, especially when it's internationals, because you're almost bound to have a team more to your liking, and one of the goals of refereeing is to make sure that bias does not come out. I just think Rasta is not good at that particular facet, which makes him a pretty shit ref. I'm sure he doesn't intentionally whistle against NZ, that would be just plain stupid and a good way for career suicide, but he is just a shit ref who can't hide his biases. And he has an annoying voice of a twelve year old. Which makes him an even worse boy in the middle.

    To be clear, though, USA was the better team then, and clearly deserved their win. Doesn't substract from Rasta's shittiness, however.

    @tordah yeah probably on the money there, I find he seems to be a decent ref in XVs, it's just 7s where he can't keep up. Makes it that much worse when the whole game really can hinge on one or two possessions.

    Knewstubb is such a bloody liability. Every game just littered with crucial mistakes. I think he features in most tries scored against us.

    @bones I couldn't disagree more. IMO he's been one of our best. He's made a truckload of try saving tackles; until this game, kicked most of his conversions and set up a lot of tries. Very reliable generally.

    Talking about liabilities. Koroi is a bit of liability with high tackles. He's already on a yellow; another one will be red.
