2023 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Now a try to Shiray Kaka. This is another game against a non-core nation. PNG is going to get a hiding.

17 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

HT: NZ 27 - 0 PNG

[Stargazer]

Looking at the results thus far, no surprises in the men's tournament, although it was close between new core nation Uruguay and Ireland (12 - 14). In the women's tournament until now, a notable result is the 12 all draw between France and Canada. Fijiana beat Great Britain 19 to 14.

[Stargazer]

Great offloading in this game: Saili to Guthrie to Hirini, who scores.

46 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

FT: NZ 58 - 0 PNG

According to the commentators, this is the BF7s biggest win. Same as the AB7s, this wasn't more than a warm-up.

Their next games will be bigger challenges.

The Fiji v GB game prior showed that those teams will be a decent challenge. Both have some speedsters to capitalise on errors

[Higgins]

Kingdom of Tonga (all on it's own!) 26 - 21 Great Britain (Would probably be not quite so weak if Northern Ireland players were included!)

[Stargazer]

Biggest surprise thusfar from the men's tournament: France beating Samoa 21 - 10.

[Stargazer]

Meh, Ireland takes the draw. Should have gone for a line-out and try to score.

[Stargazer]

Big game coming up now. AB7s v Aussies!

A sure draw is better than risking a possible loss!

[Stargazer]

Awesome team try to Joe Webber. AB7s had to work for that!

[Stargazer]

Followed by some weak defence; Aussies score.

7 all

Because they had no pace on the field. Year in year out

[Stargazer]

And another mistake; Aussies in again.

HT: AB7s 7 - 12 Aussies

I was just going to say the same. Laidlaw needs to have Leo, Solo or Rush on the field instead of Molia.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I actually like Molia, who may not be as fast anymore, but looks very strong. I'd take of Collier.

[Stargazer]

Rokolisoa!! Great try.

14 - 12 AB7s

[Stargazer]

Longbottom & Patterson beating our defence again.

14 - 19 Oz

[KiwiMurph]

Oh look what happens when you bring someone with some pace on.....
