    This is more water ballet than sevens.

    Samoa scores again (after the hooter). The pass looked forward though. Try disallowed.

    HT: AB7s 0 - 5 Samoa

    Drainage at the ground isn't good. Lots of water on the field already.

    The assistant-ref saves us. Samoa looked to score again, but they're called back. Penalty NZ.

    Four and a half minutes to go in the second half.

    Both Ng Shiu and Nicole already off injured. That's what a field like this does.

    Samoa kick the ball out on the full.

    Three and half minutes to go.

    No consistency from the ref at the breakdown.

    Dammit. Samoa score.

    Jordan Way has so far penalised NZ, but not Samoa when needed.

    7 - 12 Samoa

    30 seconds to go.

    Scrum Samoa. All they have to do is kick the ball out.

    And then the images disappear again. Safe to say Samoa have won the game and the 🏆 .

    The ref had a lot to do with the score and the weather didn't help, but Samoa have overall been better in Cape Town, so not an unexpected result.

    Still, silver is a good result for this young AB7s team.

    A second place is good to climb on the Series ladder.

    FT: AB7s 7 - 12 Samoa

    I will have to watch a replay of the women's final. Aust must have been on some winning streak before this game.

    Was the ref actually Way? It didn't look like it when I did see him.

    If so, isn't it funny that handful of refs NZ have a habit of losing under...

    The ref was AJ Jacobs. His accent should have given that away.

    @Bones According to the WR website, Jordan Way was the ref in the men's Final. It may have been a different ref in real time.

    What a performance by TNW for the BFs! Love seeing a captain stand up and lead by example. She was still hyped after the game going by the post match interview.
    Wasn't the conditions for Blyde to see much ball but she is still my favourite. Just love the way she looks like she's on a hair trigger the whole time. She's bloody scary. Like a pit bull crossed with a greyhound.

    Both teams have set themselves up well for the Oly-Qualy at this tricky start to the season and consistent performance from here on should see them get there OK.
    BF selectors will have a tough job bringing back the big names but that will be a stacked squad when they do. That team just won against the world champs while missing Hirini, Fluhler, Fitzpatrick, Tui and Woodman. Imagine that as a bench!
