2019-2020 World Sevens Series

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.

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

[Bones]

Collier absolutely killing us.

[KiwiMurph]

Haha this is a smashing.

[Machpants]

Haha? No, I'm not laughing
0-19

[KiwiMurph]

@Machpants lighten up Francis.

Nah that's a team with ABs in the name, no lightening here!

[Bones]

Such a lacklustre performance which we see far too often in crunch games in recent times. Really lackadaisical with the ball and happy to take contact and turn it over.

[Bovidae]

Ugly.

Murphy was so lax policing the breakdowns compared to other games I watched today. That wasn't the winning and losing of the game but it is frustrating to watch.

[Machpants]

Go Wales! But that's it really, might as well send out a b team to prevent injuries vs Kenya

[Bovidae]

11.51 am NZT tomorrow in the women's comp (NZ vs Eng).

Yeah it's even more of a lottery (especially for lower ranked sides) in the women's comp. Watching England Vs Russia or Japan, can't remember but England go through a long series of possession, sealing off at over half the rucks, then other team gets a turnover and gets pinged for sealing off at the first ruck when it didn't even happen.

[Stargazer]

It's not going well with the BF7s. They're trailing England 7 - 12 at half time and are playing without Tui (but with Nathan-Wong).

England are looking good.

[Stargazer]

Great break and lots of speed from Fluhler. Try Williams.

14 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Big mistake from the English player - pressure from Williams was too much - and Fitzpatrick scores the next try.

This half is much better; the English seem to tire faster.

21 - 12 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Speeeeeeeeeeeed! Fluhler scores in the corner.

Why did I worry?

26 - 12 BF7s

[Davesofthunder]

Excellent response and hustle from the BF7s to be fair.

I do enjoy how far the womens game has come in recent years, some great players in there.
