      Congratulations to Bond and Murray on another Olympic Gold Medal. Unbeaten since 2009. Ruthless Kiwi champions.

        <p>So from this list we have got 1/2 predicted golds so far, 1/1 predicted silvers and 1 unexpected silver, and 0/1 bronze.</p>

                  <p>Not looking like a medal. That first lane is a killer.</p>

                      Looking at who is left in the 7s Semi Finals, I want our Bok cousins to win the Gold.

                            <p>NZ must have the worst penalty ratio for/against in the tournament. Lots and lots of dumb play (I'm talking sevens of course, I don't give a shit about the Olympics)</p>

                              A couple of dodgy calls against GBR in that first half but only down 5-0 at the break. <br><br>
                              GBR hit back straight after HT and up 7-5. Norton showing a clean pair of heels to beat his defender. <br><br>
                              GBR dangerous up the middle. Boks look good when they get it wide<br><br><br>

                                  GBR win. Tough game. I think the two best teams will play for gold. <br><br><br>
