    I reckon that tackle from Curry and turnover from Mikkleson in the first 2 mins of that half was the winning of that.

    Awesome..!,if you have asked me at the beginning of the day on our chances of both teams,I would have said our ladies were about a 95% chance and our men with this squad,maybe 65% or 70%..great double..!

    Gee Fiji were utter shit. Good for us for them to bring that in the gold medal game.

    Not a big fan of 7s, particularly without the top players, but I enjoyed that.

    Haha - fucking awesome.

    We win what, I think, are the last two golds of the Games and against the odds.

    Fijians never really fired shots and we were pretty dominant. Could easily have won by an additional 10 points.

    Might be the making of that men's team. Playing smart footy.

    Really?

    You're certainly a glass half full person SH. The Blues must be a constant disappointment to you. 🙂

    I would have said Women 40%. Men 20%.

    Tactically very smart by NZ. Have to give the coach credit for that.

    Fiji buggered after Hong Kong makes sense but that was their choice.

    Some of those NZ guys played their best ever games of 7s - Molia and Nanai-Seturo come to mind.

    Yes lets remember the Aus Women destroyed the Black Ferns 7s when they played in the final of the Sydney 7s a couple of months ago. Huge result for Black Ferns 7s.

    @kiwimurph Yeah, and today they were also missing one of their veterans in Ruby Tui.

    This was the first time women's sevens was at the Commonwealth Games. Great to have the first gold medal!

    Come on. Walk down the street and most people couldn't name a Fijian 7's player.

    What? I can't think of the top players missing, that's not far off our strongest squad.

    Even if you included XVs players then Damien McKenzie and Rieko Ioane would probably be the only certainties.

    And then only if they took a year off to practise 7s, it's far too specialised now for ABs 15 players to make a positive impact of a few weeks training. That's an 'amateur' era idea. 7s needs to be centralized and full time - NZ is finally getting the idea

    He went of in the first half after getting illegally smahed, Regan Ware (despite hsi dropsy) most amazing on attack - defence was a team effort
