    @Bovidae said in Commonwealth Games (2022) - all sports, except Sevens:

    @MiketheSnow Your boy left everything on the court.

    Yes, super proud of him.

    He won a lot of fans last night, and this match will be the making of him.

    The variety of shots he played really expanded his game, and he's served notice to the 6 players above him in the world rankings.

    Rob Walker the commentator for track & field is brilliant.

    Great knowledge and enthusiasm.

    What a choice. Its not our way to tank. But a match against a wounded Australian team will be especially tough

    Have there been any head to heads in the last year?

    In amongst all that am surprised Jamaica hadn't beaten them before.

    SFs fighting back from 7 goal deficit. Still England lead by 1 at the end of the 2nd quarter 25-24. Hang on to your hats!

    I wouldn't blame him if he choose to go back to Australia. Maybe he could make the Olympics as a sevens player.

    While I can't see anything but an eventual Gold/Silver final between Oz and England, I'd hoped we'd put up a better fight than the customary batting collapse.

    Our former selector/coach apparently ending Amy Satterthwaite's international career comes back to haunt us on batting days like that...

    The fact he doesn't know one end of a rugby ball from another, means I hope he does join Oz 7s

    I thought he used to play a bit or was that just media hype?

    Nope he turned up at the 7s event where they invite athletes to give it a crack, but no, he'd need a fair bit of work to git gud. Not saying he couldn;t get there, but this is hype train central, with regards to rugby c.f. Bolt in soccer

    NZ heavyweight Mau'u knocks out his English opponent and makes it into the semis, drops an F bomb in his interview in the process. Brilliant
