2019-2020 World Sevens Series

@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.

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.

[Stargazer]

Samoa knocks out Australia! Awesome to see them make the semis but they'll have a tough job against the Blitzbokke.

[Bones]

Samoa look a much improved side from last year. Everyone else looks worse! We're about on a par.

[Stargazer]

So in the women's tournament, the semis are:
Australia v Canada
New Zealand v USA

And in the men's tournament:
New Zealand v England
South Africa v Samoa

[Stargazer]

The Canadian women beat Australia in the first semi.

Now the Black Ferns 7s. It's going to be tough against the USA, who won the first leg of the Series.

[Stargazer]

Try Nathan-Wong!

[Stargazer]

That was a shocker of a re-start. Not the first time this weekend, either.

[Stargazer]

Great try from Brazier!

BF7s lead 12 - 0

[Stargazer]

What a step! Waaka scores!

Half time: NZ 19 - 0 USA

[Stargazer]

Awesome try from Nathan-Wong; straight from the scrum!

24 - 0 NZ
