Commonwealth Games (2022) - Sevens

[Stargazer]

Now Hirini with the try.

The girls are awesome!

14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

@Toddy Yep, so good!

[Stargazer]

Blyde scores another one. Wow, unbelievable that Nathan-Wong's kick made it! It looked short.

21 - 0 NZ

[canefan]

Poms strike back with a fiver before halftime

[Stargazer]

In my head I was praising the BF7s defence and that was enough to jinx it. England score.

HT: BF7s 21 - 7 England

Woodman's defence was poor

[canefan]

BF7s wear the English down over numerous phases to score another

[Stargazer]

The last few minutes looked exhausting. The pace is incredible. Great team try from Kaka.

26 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Hotham has really grown into the game this last year. Very good.

33 - 7 NZ

[canefan]

Great solo effort by one of our subs. And now another. Its turning into a bloodbath

[booboo]

That'll do.

33-7

[Jailbreak7]

BF7s made it safe with one more score. Conversion good. 33-7

[booboo]

38-7

[Stargazer]

Pouri-Lane scores another one.

FT: BF7s 38 - 7 England

[Jailbreak7]

If BF7s get past Aus, Fijiana loom large. They are pretty physical. Will need all our guile and speed to beat them.

@canefan No.

Why? The fact they lost suggests they're not as good as the team they lost to ... ?

Fijiana have beaten Aust 19-12 which likely means the BF7s will play Aust in the SF.

Is that good for us?

We will need to beat both to win gold, so just playing them the other way around. Both games will be tough.

NZ looked slick against England.

Blyde looks fit and sharp

[Jailbreak7]

@Bovidae Yes. Tried a few different strategies. Like that.
England brought on some heavy artillery at the end, but not good enough.

[Stargazer]

@booboo Because the Aussies always seem to lift their game when they play us.

But as @Bovidae says, both are tough opponents and the BF7s will have to play at their best to beat both.
