2019-2020 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Haha, that was awesome. Try Gayle Broughton.

40 - 7 BF7s

That's the full time score. Good start, but against one of the weaker teams. Although, it should be said, China has improved a lot since Sean Horan started as their head coach.

[Stargazer]

Great start from the AB7s. Two tries from Tim Mikkelson and one from Regan Ware, make it 21 - 0 after less than 2 and half minutes.

[Stargazer]

Now an awesome try from Joe Webber.

28 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

That's the half time score.

[Stargazer]

Okay, Wales is terrible, but it's still great to see our boys in black score tries. Scott Curry just scored his first of the tournament.

33 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Try Kurt Baker.

This is going to be a monster score if they continue like this.

40 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Awesome offload from Ng Shiu to Koroi, who scores the next try.

47 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Full time: New Zealand 47 - 0 Wales

Great way to start the tournament!

[Stargazer]

Second game, and Blyde scores the first try in the first minute.

5 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Less than a minute later, and she scores again!

12 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Wow. Great attack from Tui and Fluhler is the one to get the try.

19 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Geezus, that was a great try from Blyde. Absolutely awesome!

[Stargazer]

And try number 4 for Michaela Blyde. So good!

Half time: New Zealand 33 - 0 England

[Stargazer]

Stacey Fluhler gets the first try of the second half.

40 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Now, finally, England get their first try.

40 - 7 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Full time: New Zealand 40 - 7 England

Absolute dominance from the Black Ferns 7s

[Stargazer]

The Blitzbokke just lost to England (19 - 21)!

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.
