Wow, awful performance. Like we'd never played 7s before, some really dumb stuff. Ormond you fucking idiot.

KiwiMurph

This could be a real sad end to Titch's career - they looked atrocious.

Bones

Handling errors from over half the team and our 2 set moves were just to hit a crash ball runner. Then give it to the most inexperienced guy to try and finish.

Can we still make it through to the quarters?

Yes, top 2 of each pool + 2 extras (I guess on points diff? or repechage?). Need to thrash Kenya and ideally beat GB.</p>

Davesofthunder

Ok, that's good news that we need to flush and move on. <br><br>
Not a great start though

Joubert is having a fucking laugh. He's having a worse game than NZ.

Makes me weep with shame and anger to see the All Blacks 7s lose to Japan. They must redeem themselves by being awesome the rest of the tournament.

JAF

What is worse ... Boks losing to Japan at RWC or All Black 7s losing to Japan in Olympics? Ask big mouth Bones.

<p>I don't see this AB Sevens team winning a medal. They looked pedestrian, unimaginative and made basic errors. Fiji were the most impressive of all the nations so far, with GB, France and SA not very far behind. Aussies were even worse than the AB.</p>

<p>Richie McCaw is in Rio. Put him on the field next game. Bet he can do it ...</p>

The ghost of Spinning Rhombus returns...<br><br>
Loss to Japan? Gah fuck.<br><br>
World Champ scullers gone.<br><br>
Good day in Rio.

kiwiinmelb

<p>Havent seen the game , just seen the result , but not overly surprised </p>
<p> </p>
<p>With the squad something has been lacking all year , lacked the cool thinking on the spot decision makers that we have taken for granted during Titches reign </p>

Billy Tell

That plan to have SBW booster the RC midfield stocks ðŸ˜ª

booboo

So we've lost Dubs and Webber as well as to Japan. Great day in Rio ...

Mokey

<p>Wow. All the shit news from Rio - Sevens, Equestrian, Rowers, Swimmers, Sailors...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I mean fucking seriously? Losing to Japan? (While the 15 side has done some great things, the sevens' side best achievement is winning the plate at the 2000 Japan Sevens.)</p>
