<p>Looks like the Brits have settled for silver. Only lack of discipline or fitness can stop the Fijians now.</p>

[JAF]

<p>Taken all tournament and we only see normal attacking 7s rugby in the in the medal games.</p>

[Derm McCrum]

Jeez - are England really the second best team in the sevens? It's men against boys.

[Chris B.]

After the Saffa romp it was great to hear Woodward insisting that it would be a close final...

<p>Spoke to my namesake at his grandmother's farm just outside Denerau just before the game started (he has taken the day off school!!!!!!!!!!). To say he was excited would be an understatement. You can just imagine how excited a rugby loving nine year old boy in Fiji will be now.</p>

It seemed to be largely English players. I see there's a couple of Welsh/Scottish in the squad though. Doesn't matter, they've still being trounced. <br><br>
Congrats Fiji, they win their first Olympic medal and its gold.
