      I know the football has to start early to fit in the whole comp with enough gaps between games. But is the Sevens starting early just because of other events coming up in the stadium?

      Yes. Basically have to play the men’s and women’s before the athletics start.

      Are there no other Stadiums in Paris?

              Wonderful player. Humanity needs people like this.
              Such a shame in Rugby WC 2023 the draw was so messed up we didn't see more of France.
              The French WC atmosphere was lacking in the semis and beyond. I missed it.

                Used throughout most of his 7s time to bringing his visions and skill from the bench. I hope to see BB do the same thing, he seems to be able to come on and change the game with a full brief from the coaching/analytics team and his own vision it makes sense

                        Think she's a Kiwi

                        My ears were bleeding

                              She is still an annoying screecher

                              Watched it without sound

                              Far better

                              Why do female commentators feel the need to be shouting most of the time?

                                          2 wins from 2 today from the Black Ferns 7s team.

                                          They are looking strong and so is the Australian squad.
