2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo)

[NTA]

@stargazer walloped them. France looking good.

China to beat Japan handily I think

[Stargazer]

Already 14 - 0 to China.

[Stargazer]

HT: China 19 - 0 Japan

[Machpants]

China Def have the ability to go further, if the support is there until the next games

[Stargazer]

Still no score in the Australia v USA game.

[Stargazer]

Sharni Willimas the first to score.

7 - 0 Australia

Ozzie finally break them down, 7-0 30 sec left in first half. Still tight tho

Oh that's a mistake getting back to your feet. Williams once again saves us with direct running.

We seem to be avoiding ruck or contact at all times - trying to run the bigger Yanks around?

[Machpants]

@nta they certainly look knackered, both sides, but Oz looking a bit livelier

[NTA]

Jeez that ruck straight after the lineout looked like Yanks going straight off their feet. Not a lot of consistency on this.

[Machpants]

Lol Wally has gone down, hope it's not too bad

[NTA]

The other bugbear I've got with the refs: "not releasing" penalties given against the ball carrier when the defender is not even trying to lift. We were given very strict instructions on this at the start of the season.

I understand 7s is a little different but the "grabbing it on your elbows" isn't good enough IMHO

Not after that turn around, I don't think

[NTA]

Oh Yank girl does it again - gets up without releasing.

[NTA]

I think both sides would have questions for the ref....

[Stargazer]

Great length of the field try.

12 - 0 OZ

It's looking hard.

Terrible conversion for our standard.

[Machpants]

Really little offloading in the woman's game, bit bizarre.

USA finally don't shoot themselves in the foot 12-7

[Stargazer]

Oh oh try USA. The Americans look powerful, but slow, but the Aussies couldn't stop this try.

12 - 7 Oz
