Ah yeah forgot, just looking at the table. One point win will probably do then

@Stargazer don't they just need to win? They have the best points difference by far.

After watching this game, I'm not sure "just winning" this game will be that easy.

[Higgins]

And now Canada tip Fiji over 26 - 19 as the surprises keep on coming.

[Machpants]

@Higgins USA turn next :crossed_fingers:

[Stargazer]

@Higgins Hope the ref didn't have a hand in that (I didn't watch the game). Don't want a repeat of last week, when the home team was "helped" by the officiating.

[Crazy Horse]

NZ being mean to Aussie by not letting have the ball much. 36-7 with time up on the clock.

[Crazy Horse]

Ended up 36-12

SPAIN?!?

[Stargazer]

The All Blacks 7s will play Fiji in the Cup QF, tomorrow morning at 7.30am NZT.

Just watched the Spain game. Thought Spain played pretty well. Pretty good line speed.

7s reffing is a total lottery. Seemed some baffling decisions both ways.

[NTA]

Good one Spain. They look pretty sharp from what I've seen last couple of tournaments, and often just lack that final bit of polish to get the job done against more established sides.

The Aussies however are inconsistent in their decision making. France harried then well and we made crucial errors with our lack of composure. "Rocket" Rod Davies is a dud

FT: NZ 24 - 26 Spain

Too many missed tackles, shit officiating. Not sure whether Spain deserved the win, because several of their tries came after bad decisions from the ref. However, a well-playing AB7s team would have won anyway.

Spain is one of the strongest of the upcoming nations; good for the game to have a new country joining the top and giving strong competition to the usual favourites.

Is Spain this year's Kenya?

Oh good. Just Fiji ...

[Stargazer]

@booboo This year's Fiji is not quite the same as last year's, but always good for a surprise. Good or bad.

They smashed Samoa and Kenya, but lost to Canada.

[ACT Crusader]

@booboo I wouldn’t be banking on this Fiji side.

We have looked pretty good so far this tournament even with the loss to Spain. I thought we would’ve won had we not got that card.

[Bones]

I'm sure we'll see saffajaf back in 3....2....1....

[Machpants]

Here we go, the inevitable implosion

[Bones]

FUUUUUCK Koroi. You absolute fucking spastic. What the fuck could you possibly be thinking to do that?
