Olympic Sevens 2024

[sparky]

Ireland beat Japan 40-5 which puts a bit of context on the NZ result earlier.

[sparky]

Ireland looking very powerful.

[sparky]

Three great offloads and NZ are in for the first try against South Africa.

[sparky]

SA in. Really sleepy defence by NZ.

[sparky]

5-5. Wake the fuck up, NZ!

[sparky]

NZ 10-5 up. Second half beginning.

[sparky]

Scott Curry went off for a HIA.

[sparky]

You beauty!

[sparky]

And the kick's good. NZ 17 SA 5

[sparky]

Less than two minutes left.

[sparky]

Scott Curry back. Passed his HIA.

[sparky]

Regan Ware limps off.

Ref got that wrong.

[KiwiMurph]

Ware still carrying that left arm

[sparky]

All over. 17 to 5 to NZ.

NZ in the knockouts.

[KiwiMurph]

Hope NMB and Ware are OK.

Impressive win

[sparky]

Stadium empties. That's it for the evening.

[sparky]

Fiji looked the strongest team on day one, then not much between NZ, Aussie, Ireland or Argentina.
