<p>Frenchman clear, bronze at least guaranteed for them. Toddy up next...</p>

[Crucial]

Fuck

[TeWaio]

<p>4 fences down. Burton has two fences down meaning both us and Aussie slip behind both France (gold) AND Germany (silver). Aussie get bronze and we're fourth.<br><br>
Individual jumping is later, but 4 fences down means Mark Todd unlikely to be in the medals for that either as scores are carried forward.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Gutted. We'd never won team gold before despite our pedigree and that must've been our best ever chance.</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>And now we're down 14-12 to Japan in the 7s with 1min to go and SBW off injured. Not a great 20min period for NZ.</p>

[KiwiMurph]

Nz 7s in big trouble - so many missed tackles.

<p>Terrible performance. Could still pull it out of the fire here - 1 minute left.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>unbelievable, Japan win against AB7s. 14-12</p>

[TeWaio]

<p>Fuck.</p>

[Bones]

Wow, awful performance. Like we'd never played 7s before, some really dumb stuff. Ormond you fucking idiot.

[KiwiMurph]

This could be a real sad end to Titch's career - they looked atrocious.

[Bones]

Handling errors from over half the team and our 2 set moves were just to hit a crash ball runner. Then give it to the most inexperienced guy to try and finish.

Can we still make it through to the quarters?

<p>
Yes, top 2 of each pool + 2 extras (I guess on points diff? or repechage?). Need to thrash Kenya and ideally beat GB.</p>

[Davesofthunder]

Ok, that's good news that we need to flush and move on. <br><br>
Not a great start though

<p>We could lose again and still qualify.</p>

Joubert is having a fucking laugh. He's having a worse game than NZ.

What fresh madness is this? Japan don’t beat major rugby nations…oh…wait…<br><br>

Makes me weep with shame and anger to see the All Blacks 7s lose to Japan. They must redeem themselves by being awesome the rest of the tournament.

[JAF]

What is worse ... Boks losing to Japan at RWC or All Black 7s losing to Japan in Olympics? Ask big mouth Bones.
