2019-2020 World Sevens Series

Yep, that rule should be to prevent and penalise situations in which a player doesn't genuinely attempt to catch the ball - or doesn't have a realistic chance of a success in their attempt - and only knocks the ball on to interrupt the opponent's play. If they penalise it like this, they discourage players from making genuine and realistic attempts, too.

Kenya giving SA a lesson.

Do you not have to support your own weight at the breakdown in 7s? So many let go in order to keep game flowing?

[Stargazer]

@taniwharugby I missed that game. The huge score suggests that either SA gave up after their loss yesterday, or they weren't good anyway.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer kenya scored twice in last couple of mins, once with a man in the bin.

They were just more composed, SA made errors and Kenya punished them.

[Stargazer]

I know Paul Feeney is responsible for the coaching of all Kenyan national teams. Is he actually coaching them here in Hamilton, or is his role more that of a director of rugby?

[Stargazer]

Wow, Argentina is punishing Fiji at the moment. Wait and see whether this lasts ...

[Stargazer]

Third Argie try. What's happening?

Pumas7s lead 21 - 0

[Stargazer]

Fiji get one back.

HT: Fiji 5 - 21 Argentina

[Stargazer]

Still not an impressive crowd in Hamilton. Very far from a sell-out. I hope it improves during the afternoon.

[Stargazer]

Fiji making a comeback?

10 - 21 Arg

[Stargazer]

Wrong decision. That wasn't a knock on by Argentina.

[taniwharugby]

What a passage

[Stargazer]

If the Argies score another converted try, they're through ..

[Stargazer]

This pool proves that a team that loses a pool game can still reach the semis. In this case, the Aussies. who lost to Fiji, yesterday.

[Stargazer]

If the USA beat Wales with a 73 point margin, they're going through to the semis if NZ loses to Scotland.

The USA are definitely trying to get that margin, but time isn't on their side.

[Stargazer]

USA beat Wales 42 - 0.

That means NZ is through, regardless of the result of this game against Scotland.

[Stargazer]

The old buck Mikkelson does it again. Try time!

5 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Dumb dumb dumb

Yellow for Koroi and Scotland scores.
Koroi was lucky his shoulder didn't hit the player's head.

[Stargazer]

Ng Shiu is a class act. Great try. Nice work from Nanai-Seturo.

10 - 5 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Haha, there goes Mikkelson again!

HT: New Zealand 17 - 5 Scotland
