    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.

    What top players were missing?

    You're kidding right?

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

    Ahem. How about the Super roster? The major European club comps. That's what I meant by top players. I totally recognise they are different games that require different skill sets, but unfortunately the best rugby players on the planet are not there.

    There's a super roster of Sevens players? Major European club comp for Sevens? Gee I had no idea they were hogging all those players. That's a shame for the commonwealth games.

    You know what I'm talking about. Don't be an idiot.

    Oh so you're talking about good XVs players when discussing Sevens players. Makes perfect sense. Yes must be me being an idiot huh...

    Cmon Bones, don't be a tool. I was merely saying that it's unfortunate that the best rugby players on the planet aren't there. I acknowledge this isn't possible these days and that the games are very different. You think all the same players would be there if the 15s players had the same training and build up?

    How about you quit with the usual name calling just because you can't understand something simple? Seems to be a very common occurrence.

    The best Sevens players ARE there. Tell me the better Sevens players that are missing.

    When did I say the best available Sevens players aren't there? I didn't and you know it. I've been quite clear about what I've meant but you've insisted on completely avoiding that. Seems a very common occurrence...

    ?

    No they're not. Are you saying these guys are better rugby players than all their 15s counterparts now?

    Definitely. Their 15s counterparts aren't even playing Sevens. Is it a shame for you when you watch the 100m final and the best runners are missing because they don't run the 100m?

    Or the guys who win the US softball champs, because the best guys are playing baseball. 🙂

    We all love to see someone back themselves and under those circumstances and in the context of the match, it really was an awesome effort.

    Well done to both the Kiwi teams today - watched a bit of the ladies in action via mobile stream, and you could tell from the get-go that the Kiwis wanted it more. Aussies lost their shit a little despite coming back into it. That missed conversion was, for this level of footy, a sitter. And the kick out at the end? Wow. Brain snap. Fatigue. Whatever.
