@kiwimurph I tried finding an answer to that same question yesterday, and couldn't find it. Your assumption is probably correct.

I know that it is hard to place trust on commentator knowledge but it has been regularly mentioned that teams are playing as long as possible (even when losing) in a hope to add to their PD.

Fiji v GB at 1230 NZT will be an important game for us as well. Will likely determine our opponent in the quarters.

EDIT: Actually not. I forgot this is a three pool tournament.
If we win our pool we play the second best 3rd place finisher. If we come second we are likely to play SA
If Fiji come second in their pool (ie lose to GB) that lines them up as our Semi opponent

@bayimports and score straight after 12-0 still first half

[Duluth]

Fiji look considerably better than day 1

[Stargazer]

What a difference with yesterday. Fiji looked pretty average, but today, they're back to being as dangerous as usual.

26-0 up just after HT..

[Stargazer]

Haha, that was the easiest of easy tries.

[Machpants]

Jesus Fiji have stepped up

[Snowy]

Fiji always build into a tournament. Been noticeable for a long time.

We usually do too, but I'm not sure where the peak is for that team. I'm not optimistic.

Full time: Fiji 33 - 7 Great Britain

Just had an incident there that shits me - Argie player, tackled, pushing ball into Korean tackler. Ref saying "don't push it into him!" But the tackled player keeps doing it.

Penalise the fuckers. This is Sevens
