I have been really impressed by Broughton. Classy.
Yeah awesome playmaker - looks so natural.
-
Less than a minute played in the Tonga v Samoa game, and already a Tongan player sent off with a yellow. I know they're not a core nation and have little experience, but if they want to become a core nation, they really need to work hard on their discipline.
-
Rauvouvou - two touches, two errors.
Baker making a dick of himself.
Isles really suffers from small man syndrome too.
21 - 5 to the good guys.
-
@Unite totally agree about Baker,what an idiot..no need for that sort of crap..as for Ravouvou...why is he even in this squad..?just an absolute liability ,stocked for Scott Gregory, this kid is going to be a star in the fifteens game..still eligible for NZ20s this year.
-
WTF is that middle aged goth in clown pants doing on the stage?
Ohh, it's the ARU CEO...

He's looking awesome at 7s so far. What position in XVs?

Midfield back/outside back I believe.

As much of a dick as Baker is, I actually don't mind him acting up against this USA team, who have a couple of dickish players themselves (that's two weeks in a row Isles has lost the plot and played shit). I didn't notice Baker acting up against other teams and was pleasantly surprised - plus his experience really showed through this weekend.
-
Good win though.
AB7s looking really good this year. Have looked strong and assured, even in tournaments they've lost, but especially this one.
Really liked the way they took on Fiji. No hanging back looking for gaps, allowing the Fiji D to crowd them, just running straight and hard and pushing them onto the back foot.
Much good.

@booboo Agree with Kiwi Murph,midfield 12 or 13,spoke to Rene Ranger about at the end of the Mitre season about Gregory,.reckons he’s very strong and deceptively quick but will have work on his communication..having met Scott,real down to earth kid.

Yeah, made the comment to Mrs boo that they don't seem to like the Yanks.

Both the Kiwi mens and womens sides looked a cut above on fitness this weekend. That played into good results when the heat (literally) came on in the final day.
However:

Bakers backslap deserved a smack in the mouth (to use the old parlance)
Stoic.
Gracious.
Custodian of The Game.None of these terms would fit that mouthy fluffybunny.
He was also going the dickhead try celebration earlier in the tournament against someone else.
Richie McCaw would tell him to pull his head in.

@Bones yeah something was up. Sam Dickson was pretty fired up too. Bakers backslap deserved a smack in the mouth (to use the old parlance)
Good win.
Those yanks bring a new perspective to 7s, it's good.Well yeah but then you see the cheap shot by Barrett on Dickson as he's scoring the try and you see why it seems not many like the yanks...
