Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

[Stargazer]

@bovidae I only saw the last bit of the BFs game; can't remember seeing Williams.

The Aussie women played trial games against the USA in LA, earlier this week.

Interesting score. The Aussie team has both newbies and experienced players (team naming).

[Bovidae]

The Fijian women ref in game 2 is making some interesting calls. Not favouring one team over the other but I'm not seeing what she has.

[Bovidae]

Fijiana win 10-0. Still lots of surface water on the field.

[Stargazer]

First impressions of some of the new men - Vai, Tangitau, Carter - are good, but a tournament like this doesn't give the complete picture. Really keen to see how they go in the World Series.

[Bovidae]

Terrible conditions for sevens. NZ beat Aust 26-12 in the mens. Gave up a soft try on FT.

[Stargazer]

Men: NZ 26 - 12 Oz

Next game is at 6.00pm:

I really hope the state of the field is not going to lead to injuries.

[Stargazer]

Great try from Hotham.

[Stargazer]

An equally good try to Ana Naimasi (Fijiana).

5 all

[Stargazer]

Fijiana definitely dealing with the conditions better than BF7s. Both field and weather are awful.

[Stargazer]

HT: Fijiana 10 - 5 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Fijiana much better than BF7s. Lots of handling errors (not surprising with that weather). Not really something to worry about, yet, esp. with so many senior players missing. Hopefully the conditions are better, tomorrow.

FT: Fijiana 17 - 10 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Same trend in the men's game.

[Stargazer]

Finally, NZ scores. Great, length-of-the-field try to Moses Leo.

[Stargazer]

HT: Fiji Barbarians 12 - 5 NZ

[Stargazer]

The Fiji Barbarians team is definitely better than the Fiji Warriors.

AB7s being crushed in the wet.
