Time for the women's medals semi-finals. First, Australia v Canada.

[Stargazer]

Caslick is an awesome player.

HT: Australia 14 - 7 Canada

What on earth did that lineswoman need to review that no try for? She was standing two feet away from the action and the ball was forced on its second bounce over the deadball line? She's not getting a line umpires job in tennis!

Back yourself, girl!

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Why the TMO then? The in goal lineswoman was literally a metre away. Those sitting at the back of the stadium could see that went out first.

[Stargazer]

Full time: Australia 33 - 7 Canada
Australia to the gold-medal final.
That was a really good game from the Aussies. Canada is not one of the weak teams, but couldn't get into the game at all, because the Aussies didn't let them.

Now, the Black Ferns v England!

[Chris B.]

@stargazer Good work by the Canadians playing on for an extra couple of minutes.

I'd have been inclined to boot it out and conserve my energy for the bronze medal match - but, they're intent on giving (hopefully) us a helping hand.

[Stargazer]

Great try from Sarah Goss! NZ on the board!

[Stargazer]

Try England and it's 5 all.

[Gunner]

Shit call from the touchy led to that try.

[Stargazer]

Oh, Portia so close!

[Stargazer]

Try Michaela Blyde! Great that we have more than one awesome speedster!

That was poor support play from us, everyone just sat back expecting her to score.

[KiwiMurph]

Black Ferns 7s look average. Scramble defense from England very good.

[Stargazer]

@no-quarter Yes, like the comms said, they expected her to score. Underestimating the English defence.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph It's like they're on energy-saving mode.

[Stargazer]

HT: NZ 12 - 5 England

[Stargazer]

Great try-saving tackle from Blyde.

Theyll be playing for bronze if they arent careful.

[Stargazer]

How was that not a knock-on from the English player?
