    Half time: NZ 14 - 7 France

    A stronger opponent and the score reflects that. The AB7s have to defend more. Need to stay focused during the 2nd half.

      Full time: NZ 21 - 14 France.

      The AB7s are through to the Cup Quarter Finals (are whatever they are called nowadays).

          Looks like they're only selling low alcohol beer for the most part this year with exception of the Pavilion Bar. Was thinking of showing up today and buying a ticket but won't bother this year.

          This should hopefully be the last Sevens the capital ever gets. What a joke compared to the glory days. I can sense the lack of hops in the beer from the gritted teeth Facebook updates I'm getting.

            It's a rugby tournament and rugby is our reason for watching. Have seen a lot of entertaining games today and we're thinking of going tomorrow. Don't give a shit about beer or beer prices. We can drink that in the pub or at home afterwards.

              The way South Africa have played today, they sure must be one of the favourites to win the tournament.

                When the event is no longer about yhe sport ...

                Reckon all stadiums in NZ should be low strength. Mid at most.

                Enjoyed the footy I watched today on tele. Looked like it would be very civilised at the game.

                  NZ beats the USA 24 to 12 and finish first in the pool. The AB7s will play Fiji in the Cup QF tomorrow at 1.00pm.

                  Must admit that 3 out of 3 is more than I had hoped for when the team was announced. So well done! That 18 year old newbie, Vilimoni Koroi, looks promising. Scored his first try in this last game.

                  The AB7s didn't have the most difficult pool, so tomorrow will be a lot harder, although Fiji is not last year's Fiji ...

                    What's with Scooters Billy Idol sneer - did they push one of his plugs too far down and he had a stroke?

                      Avoiding South Africa was huge. No way there was 15k at the stadium today. Hopefully a few more turn up tomorrow.

                        Just checked the TicketDirect website and if that site is correct, it's almost impossible to get silver zone tickets, or at least to buy them online. So many seem to be unavailable, what's up with that? Most available tickets seem to be in the premium area or in the areas behind the posts. Is this site reliable? Or have they all been reserved for sale at the ticket booths? It's unimaginable that that many tickets have been sold.

                              @Unite Yeah it's a bit odd - it never used to be but now none of the links work on the leg pages.

                                  On the rugby. Looking pretty sharp, not as good as we used to be, but you can sense there's quite a bit more confidence and application. Curry, Forbes and Mikkelson were huge. Still have no fucking clue about Collier but it is what it is. Khan looks a lot more confident and is starting to step up, as well as Iopu-Aso who is starting to beast it...How much does he resemble a young Kaino. Lastly, Koroi is a star in the making, what poise, vision and skill for a kid.

                                    Haven't downloaded the App. Just the web page when accessed on my mobile doesn't have links to a schedule.

                                      plenty of people moaning on social media about the atmosphere and lack of people at the 7s...

                                      Think the Wellington CC, Westpac Stadium and NZR do need to look at things and how they can breathe life into this event again.

                                      People inevitably comparing it to the 9s which IMO is not a fair comparison, 1 that is in what, its 3rd year, being in Auckland is more accessible to a larger number of people, we dont get a huge amount of top class league in NZ compared to rugby.

                                        That was an awesome game between Scotland and England, with the Scots going through to the semis. (14-12)
