@stargazer SA all have different boots, so I guess their choice - or just what Adidas gave them.

[Stargazer]

That step from Brazier again! Try! 41 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

@bones We were more thinking it might be a rule from the NZ Olympic Committee or NZR for this type of event. But maybe they just chose to wear the same boots.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Black Ferns 7s 41 - 0 South Africa 7s

[Stargazer]

The real test will be tomorrow when they play Canada. No. 3 in the current rankings behind Australia and NZ.

[Stargazer]

I haven't seen much of the CG so far; the ad breaks during 7s have been quite painless, I must say.

[Stargazer]

Fijiana looking good against Wales. Not quite the level of the top 3 nations yet, but they're improving. 12 - 0 Fiji

[Bones]

@stargazer Hilarious from the Welsh player, makes a break, no one in front or within 20 metres, runs straight into the defenders path rather than blatting it for the line.

[Stargazer]

Good win from Fijiana: 29 -7. They need those points, because they lost their first game to England (5 - 17)

[Stargazer]

Wow, what's happening? England leads 12 - 5 over Australia with only seconds to go in the first half.

[Stargazer]

Ellia Green! Wow. 12 all at half time.

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from Staple (sp?); great speed. Aussie take the win: 29 - 12

[Stargazer]

That was a great special about/with Portia Woodman on Duke. What an athlete!

@bones said in Commonwealth Games - Rugby Sevens:

@stargazer odd that a certain SA poster isn't all over this game...

Naah, only on weekends ...

I think sevens should have a rule that a yellow carded player can come back into the field through their own in goal once the 2 minutes has elapsed. It is tough when the yellow card has elapsed but you end up a man down for four minutes because the ball stays in play.

[Stargazer]

AB7s lucky to start against such a weak opponent. They're leading 19 - 0 at half time. Lots of messy passes though.

[Stargazer]

Much better 2nd half. Good to see the urgency and the effort to score as many points as possible. Teams need to win their pool to progress to the medals-finals.

Full time: NZ 52 - 0 Zambia

[hydro11]

Didn't know that only one team makes the semis. No room for error here.

[taniwharugby]

The Ugandan 6 is a bit of a beast.

[Gunner]

Feel sorry for Malaysia here, totally outclassed by SA.
They’re scoring with every touch of the ball, Malaysia have hardly made a tackle
