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?

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

For context, NZ up by 3 points or something, 20 seconds to go and in position just under 40m out from the Fijian line. Koroi runs across, gets scragged so decides to throw a weird one hander, drifts forward into Fijian hands.
Annnnd England blow a 19 point lead to lose to USA. Someone check the in game betting.

Just saying.
I just had visions of NZ holding a slim lead, making a fuck up and Fiji running in the winning try from 90m after the siren.
Should have put money on it.

Seems like so much deja vu on this series. Had a second look at ref's call in last minute England v USA when I thought England may have earned turnover penalty.
NZ got away with several casual/imprecise efforts from Ravouvou v Fiji, before Koroi's error. Otherwise we looked veyr good I thought. Just unlucky that the last second error counted that badly.
