NZ Sevens 2025-26

[Bovidae]

A tough 19-7 win for the BF7s over France in their SF.

The AB7s will play GB for 5th/6th.

Black Ferns currently being demolished by the Wobblie Ladies 26-0

[Bovidae]

Highlights of the AB7s final game in Cape Town against GB. Both Clarke and Tocker score a try, and you see the speed of Tocker.

Tocker looks a bit of a beast. Good to see some new players coming through. I've been watching Lasaqa in the highlights packages but yet to see him in any open space.

[Bovidae]

@KiwiPie I haven't watched every game but Lasaqa has often been inaccurate with his passing and at the breakdown. Maybe trying too hard. He appears to be used as a playmaker than out wide so is not getting those opportunities in space.

Now we have a nearly 2 month break until Singapore.

[Bovidae]

For the Fiji Coral Coast 7s.

[Bovidae]

Results from Day 1:

NZ Men's

[Bovidae]

Neither NZ team made the SFs. The Men lost 24-7 to the Ravuka Sharks in the QF, the beaten finalists. The Women were beaten 38-19 by Briars (Aust).

[Bovidae]

Manson to make his debut.

[Bones]

Scott Gregory!

[Bovidae]

The games are on at a decent time.

[Bones]

@Bovidae only half of them

[Bovidae]

The BF7s look slick in their opening game with a 64-0 win over GB.

[Duluth]

NZ v France starting now

[KiwiMurph]

Weak first half

Manson not impressive so far

Manson not impressive so far

Why is he cutting inside when given the ball out wide?

How much 7s has he played? Looks uncomfortable so far

[KiwiMurph]

Another error from Manson. Get him off the field.

[Bovidae]

Nothing has really changed despite some new players. NZ has gone away from the power game but lacks speed when in space.

@Bovidae i note some of the newer players from the first 2 rounds arent in the squad for this tournament
