2019-2020 World Sevens Series

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

[Stargazer]

That was a good example of the commentator's curse. The commentators were saying how happy the AB7s would be with keeping the USA without points and then, in the last play, the USA score.

FT: New Zealand 26 - 5 USA

The AB7s are trough to the semis! They'll play England at 12.00am.

[Bones]

@Stargazer yeah as soon as KT said it, I cursed him and USA got the penalty, end of story.

Our attack is horrible, especially when Baker has such a bad game. No one seems to be on the same page most of the time - a playmaker will stretch the defence and create space but then have to unload to someone standing still or 10-15 metres back while the defence just drifts past him.

Luckily we're creating points from aggressive defence.

[Bovidae]

Baker is still shite......

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae He's a bit hot and cold. He can be terrible for minutes and then suddenly score a brilliant try. I can't stand him though.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer Baker will cost us more games than he will win. And yes, he's a dickhead.

I don't know why Knewstubb was subbed on so late.

[Stargazer]

I wonder why they hardly gave game time to Knewstubb in this game. He came on in the last minute of the game. Keeping him fresh for the next game?

[Bones]

Yeah it was a bit of a weird side, Rayasi hardly seen too. Think they'd spotted how crap USA are and looked to keep some fresh legs.

Good old dry powder makes a return.

[Stargazer]

@Bones All our subs came on late.

[Stargazer]

That's at least the second yellow card for Perez this weekend. Must be one of the most ill-disciplined players in international sevens.

I thought he must have been knocked out earlier - he was also the one that gave away the offside penalty when he was retreating and decided to stop on the Aussie side of the ruck and tackle the scrumhalf! Couldn't believe it when he stuck out the mitt on the tryline.

[Stargazer]

And then he shows why he keeps on being selected. Great try.

[Bones]

Alosio held up by an offside tackler there, should be penalty try and yellow card.
