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.

[KiwiMurph]

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

Probably not. There is no provincial sevens tournament now. Manson was in the NZ Dev team that went to to Fiji a few weeks back.

I haven't seen a list of unavailable players, which is normally published when the touring squad is announced.

Kele Lasaqa what a talent

[Steven Harris]

How good from Kele…? thought that YC was gonna prove costly but great win from the boys in a must win game

[KiwiMurph]

Incredible try.

[Bovidae]

Got a bit lucky there. Poor discipline again.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph that’s what I was hoping to see from Manson

[Bovidae]

So a QF against Aussie in the last pool game.

[Bovidae]

The BF7s finish top of their pool with a dominant 55-7 win over France. Their second pool game was a much tougher 19-12 win over Canada.

He did score a nice length of the field try vs Aussie after the hooter. Perhaps that will build some confidence

[Bovidae]

A much better performance from the AB7s against Aust. I have been impressed with Rob Rush this season.

SF games are:

BF7s v USA - 7:30 pm
AB7s v Fiji - 7:52 pm

@Bovidae that’s what happens when Eric makes both you and your brother go running even on Xmas day
I have got to eat some humble pie , when Rob Rush turned down a Chiefs wider training contract before the 2024 season I thought it was the wrong move but I’m glad to be proved wrong his improved fitness and physicality is an asset to the NZ 7s team atm

[Bovidae]

@Steven-Harris RR looked a little lost last year, and walks a fine line with his aggression in the tackle, but the team needs that sort of player.

[canefan]

Interesting to see if they can continue to improve and then make the jump to SR. There's always space for a couple of aggressive guys with big motors

[KiwiMurph]

That must be the 3rd of 4th time this season the AB 7s have had the ball in their own half after the hooter has gone - decided to play on and then conceded a try.

Brainless.

[Grooter]

Gregory sigh such a donkey still

[Yeetyaah]

Why the fuck didn't old mate give the ball on the inside to guarantee the try. Fucking greedy fluffybunny went on his own and cooked it .
