2019-2020 World Sevens Series
-
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.

Yup. This format is bullshit.
They've cut out finals matches - and now there is 10 minutes of DEAD time to air between pool games.
WTF were they thinking? WR, up your game!

@antipodean not that Samoa were in that game but man what a joke of a YC...

Classic Fiji!

Haha that dive...jumped then thought fuck...
Some superb running in this game

How good was Fiji's third try against Oz?

Such a great format...crunch pool games tonight, teams then come back tomorrow for final pool games...

@taniwharugby ... and semi-finals and play-off matches.

Massive misread with Curry running a superb line.

Can’t coach that sort of pace..

The other Baker looked pretty rapid there
