2019-2020 World Sevens Series

@Higgins The Dubai 7s already had both a men's and women's tournament, so shortening the tournament by no longer playing certain games is not due to including a women's tournament. The Dubai 7s were always played on 3 days (it's just structured differently by starting both the men's and women's tournament on the same day and playing the men's and women's finals on the same day).

We saw the same (playing fewer games) in the women's only tournament in Glendale in October. I'm still wondering how they are awarding points to the teams that going out in the knock-out games at the same time and no longer play each other. In Glendale, they didn't get the same number of points, so I assume it has to do with competition points and points differential after the pool stage, but I've actually never seen it explained or reasons given.

@nzzp wonder if the either party is a relative from this Lima/Hougaard hit

That law about tackling players with their feet off the ground has changed since the Lions your I see

Stargazer

First try of the QF goes to Ruby Tui.

Stargazer

Poor defence. Try Fiji.

Stargazer

Geez, what are they doing? Clearly missing Hirini, Woodman and Blyde.

Stargazer

Awesome try from Waaka! Nothing wrong with the BFs attack; defence is a problem at times.

Stargazer

HT: Fiji 5 - 12 NZ

Stargazer

Now a try to Brazier.

Stargazer

Try Broughton. BF7s lead 24 to 5.

Stargazer

FT: Fiji 10 - 24 New Zealand

The BF7s are through to the Cup semis, where they'll meet the winner of Russia v USA, so probably the USA.

The Ferns will have to play a lot better if they want to reach the Final.

The SF starts at 11.36pm.

Bones

Our kick off reception is fucken horrible. Just stand and watch.

Stargazer

Try Joe Webber!

Stargazer

After a try to Regan Ware, the AB7s lead 12 - 0 at half time.

They need to be more careful, because Perry Baker was close to intercepting the ball twice and there's no way they can stop him from scoring if he succeeds the next time he tries.

Bones

Kurt Baker really trying to bring Perry Baker into the game.

Stargazer

Great try saver from Joe Webber and Regan Ware.

Jailbreak7

Is there no-one that can straighten the attack?? Hard and direct always wins the day

Stargazer

It's going well. Another try to Regan Ware.

Stargazer

Great team try. McGarvey-Black gives it to Collier.

26 - 0 NZ
