@Bones Haha, Hirini is the one and only captain. If she doesn't play, it's Nathan-Wong.

Ah hah, cheers. He also called Fluhler and Saili captains and maybe Williams too!

[Stargazer]

@Bones Well, it's Lose. #nuffsaid

[Stargazer]

Just looked at the results of the earlier games that I missed. Quite an upset in the first game, with Fijiana beating the USA 19 to 14.

[KiwiMurph]

Temperatures getting up to 43 degrees. Ridiculous.

[Stargazer]

Two tries to the AB7s already, First, a good team try scored by Tim Mikkelson, who gifted the second try to Caleb Clarke ((who was closer to the posts).

14 - 0 to NZ after 4 minutes.

And as I type that, Dickson scores the third try.

19 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Rayasi scores the next. This is going quick.

26 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Yellow card for a Welshman, who pulled Dickson down while both were jumping for the ball.

Clarke scores his second.

NZ leads 33 - 0

[Stargazer]

That's the half time score.

[Stargazer]

This combination between Rayasi and Nanai-Seturo, who scores his first try.

40 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Rayasi scores his second. Good to see the AB7s going for a high score, which may be important for the overall standings after the pool games. They don't have an easy pool with Fiji and Kenya.

47 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

A few goose steps from Regan Ware and he dots down for the next try.

54 - 0 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Canada finally gets rid of the donut.

54 - 5 AB7s

And that's the final score, Fiji beat Kenya 28-14, we play Fiji last game 1030 tonight. Must win game for the boys

[booboo]

Is the set up the same as Hamilton? Only pool winners advance?

[Stargazer]

@booboo Yep, same format.

[Bones]

Rayasi looking much more dangerous and intense than previous. Clarke is chunky as eh, mistook him for Ng Shiu at first. Koroi a couple of errors but looked comfortable. Men looking bloody good.

Women - not good to say Nathan-Wong and Tui both go off with what looked like bad shoulder injuries. I know it might be the plan to only bring her on at the back end, but I'd like to see way more minutes for Broughton, she always carves up.

[Machpants]

Here we go... 0-7

[Bones]

Collier, two missed tackles. Ware two turnovers. Fiji two tries.

[KiwiMurph]

Fiji way way too good.

NZ have no pace on the field.

[Machpants]

Ugh 0-12
