Invitational, provincial, local & school sevens tournaments

[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.

[Stargazer]

AB7s being crushed in the wet.

[Stargazer]

NZ started with a team full of rookies; now the senior players have come on. Is it going to make a difference?

[Stargazer]

It might. Sam Dickson scores.

22 - 10 Fiji Warriors

[Stargazer]

FT: Fiji Barbarians 22 - 10 NZ

One game to go: Fij Warriors v Australia
