2019-2020 World Sevens Series

[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.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 26 - 12 England

BF7s through to the Cup semis.

[Bovidae]

I am not sure why they weren't trying to put Blyde in a one-on-one situation on the outside instead of her cutting back infield all of the time. Broughton was great off the bench.

Maybe the caught some slackness off the men's team? That would be a worry

[Stargazer]

@Machpants No, I actually think they're playing very smart rugby, considering the conditions. Just like yesterday (very obvious against Japan), they seem to try saving energy during the first half, only to pounce during the second half and get a good win.

[Stargazer]

Last AB7s pool game against Kenya is at 3.41pm.

Women's Cup semis:
5.36pm: Canada v Australia
5.58pm: New Zealand v France

That's a carbon copy of last week's semis. Hopefully, with the same results!

Yeah I agree, I just think that's the only worry you could have. The men 'conserved themselves' for an entire game yesterday.

[Stargazer]

Didn't see the game. The AB7s beat Kenya 19 to 5.

They'll play Australia in the 5th place play-off match that starts at 9.00pm.

[Stargazer]

Men's Cup semis:

6.20pm: South Africa v USA
6.42pm: Fiji v England

[Stargazer]

That was a great semi from the Canadian women, who are off to the Cup Final after destroying Australia (34 to 0).

Now the Black Ferns 7s.

[Stargazer]

BFs finally get possession and it's a try to Fluhler!

7 - 0 NZ

Nathan-Wong becomes the 2nd woman to score 1000 points in the World Series.

[Stargazer]

Try France.

7 all

[Stargazer]

Try Fluhler!

HT: NZ 12 - 7 France

[Stargazer]

Great pass from Nathan-Wong; Fluhler scores again!

19 - 7 BF7s

[Stargazer]

And another one to Fluhler!

24 - 7 BF7s.

[Stargazer]

Jazmin Hotham makes her debut.

[Stargazer]

That debut lasted less than 20 seconds.

FT: NZ 24 - 7 France

NZ will play Canada in the Final at 10.26pm.

[Stargazer]

Men's semis:
South Africa beats USA 18 to 12
Fiji beats England 17 to 14

Men's Cup Final:
10,56pm: South Africa v Fiji

[Stargazer]

The AB7s have finished 5th at the Sydney Sevens. They couldn't have done better after losing that match to Fiji.

They beat Australia 24 - 7 (I forgot to watch the game, but Molia, Ware, Collier and Clarke scored the NZ tries. The Australian try was scored in the 16th minute).
