    I'll take a bad win. Yanks drew with Aus so not too shabby.

    Far from convincing but a win is a win. Great courage and desperation on defence during the last couple of minutes but we made too many errors. Flush the dunny and move on

    <p>A win's a win. If the USA drew with Oz, then I think this was a good result. They'll need to play much better in the semis though.</p>

    <p>The semi-final v Great Britain is tomorrow morning at 6.00am NZT.</p>

    <p>Our sevens ladies need to show better discipline. Three yellow cards in the games I've watched - and Portia was lucky not to be given one for throwing the ball away vs US - same offence as she was given one in the first game.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>McAlister and Woodman are weapons though!</p>
