Hamilton 7s

[Stargazer]

Nareki! Great speed. 40 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Great break from Ravouvou, and Koroi scores the try.

45 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Ravouvou scores a try of his own in referee's time.

Full time: NZ 52 - 0 Japan

Great start for the AB7s, although it was more an opposed training run against the bottom-dwellers of the World Series.

[Stargazer]

The Black Ferns 7s will play at 1.26pm against England.

[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

Wow, Michaele Blyde, what a try!

7- 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Break from Stacey Waaka and Sarah Hirini (Goss) scores!

14 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

One of the NZ players looks injured. Can't see who it is. Sarah Hirini?

[Stargazer]

Hirini goes off; Te Tamaki comes on. I hope that injury isn't too bad.

In the mean time, try to England.

Half time: NZ 14 - 7 England

[Stargazer]

Great offload from Stacey Waaka to Gail Broughton, who scores the third NZ try.

19 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Defensive error from the BF7s leads to an easy try from England.

19 - 14 NZ

[Stargazer]

Tough first game for the BF7s against a good looking England side. The Ferns were clearly missing Hirini in that 2nd spell; and obviously Brazier and Woodman.

FT: NZ 19 - 14 England

[Higgins]

Tonga up seven nil over England (who have a guy in the bin), the colonials are showing just who is boss today.

[Machpants]

That was quick! First NZ try, nine seconds

[Machpants]

28-0 half time, 2:30 left and Canada only scored second half 28-10

[Machpants]

NZ Sevens add another three after Canada's two, FT 49-10

[Machpants]

Worked hard for it but finished off Spain for 24-0, Scott Curry on crutches from warm up (FFS another injury). Nareki had a good last few minutes, nice try and a couple of smashing hits!

[Higgins]

One thing that is becoming more nd more noticeable is the vast improvement in the success rate of conversions. gone are the days that if the try was scored more than about five metres to the side of the posts it was almost futile taking the kick. We are now seeing side line conversions happening with increasing frequency and most kick within the 15 metre lines are now almost certain successes, England's miss from in front against Samoa notwithstanding

[booboo]

How was that YC not a penalty try?

[Siam]

@booboo made me wonder if the penalty try extra had been removed from 7s
