2023-2024 World Sevens Series

Some athlete is Che Clark

[Stargazer]

That was a great pass to Carter, who scores NZ's 2nd try.

14 - 7 AB7s

[Stargazer]

That's the half-time score.

[Stargazer]

Rokolisoa is a magician!
And then he's timed out for the conversion!

19 - 7 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Brady Rush is bumped off by one of the Argies, who scores.

19 - 14 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Damn, that was a good try from the Argies.

19 - 21 ARG

[KiwiMurph]

Like Brazier Mikkelson has to retire. He's nowhere near the level anymore.

[Stargazer]

Bugger. AB7s gone.

FT: AB7s 19 - 21 Argentina

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph I agree, but the list of injuries is so long that they can't really leave him out at the moment.

Is Nathan-Wong coming back to 7s?

Back next year.

And Fitzpatrick?

She played for the Development squad in Brisbane but looked slow.

Much improved from the BFs in the final, unlucky to not get an upset, Australia just better.

Seeing Hirini in a knee brace didn't look encouraging. Kelsey Teneti must be over in Dubai as well as she was shown on the TV coverage.

BF7s seem to be playing all their games half asleep. Something's not right. They don't seem happy.

Something going on ay. One of the great things about watching the "sevens sisters" was how much fun they had. Seemed to be missing. Maybe they are missing Bunting but he has been gone for a while. Could be just first tournie blues before they bond again. Who knows.

Was nice to watch some rugby (of sorts) without some twat intervening and saying that we need to check some trivia from yesterday and disallow the try, or overturn some scintillating passage of play. For the most part if someone got the ball over the line, the team got some points.

6 on 7 is still a long two minute watch though.

Womens final day highlights:

Room for optimism given how easily they gave up tries with some woeful individual defence.

Not sure what the ref saw at the end. Looked like a legit tackle on Portia who releases, gets up and is clearly tackled from an offside player.

[Bones]

@antipodean how were they offside?

@antipodean how were they offside?

There's an offside line at the tackle now. Thanks to the Italy vs England fiasco. Once offside there's only a few ways to be onside, none of which eventuated.

[Bones]

@antipodean huh I had no idea.
