    Aussie men finish 4th = good result for them

    Aussie women finish 4th = levels of disbelief

    What happened in the bronze playoff? Were they just not into it after losing in the SF?

    It was a pretty intense game and came down to the final play. USA are pretty tough in the middle of the park.

    Oz made a number of critical mistakes - eg dropped the ball on the try line for a certain 5 pointer - but USA hung around, a bit like Canada.

    The emotion of the USA girls when they scored the final try to even the score was one of disbelief and jubilation. Was great to watch.

      Yeah, having the USA and Canada win medals is probably good for the game. Not that Australia are likely to agree

          I don't need to remind you of all the times the ABs have looked near on invincible at RWCs only to fall away. I already gave you 1999... ๐Ÿ˜ž

              Didn't watch it but heard the US scored a long range try on full-time to take it.

              Questions about mental fortitude must be asked...

              Watching the SF I couldn't believe how they fell away after looking a million bucks for most of the first half

              Canada going into the halftime break having absorbed so much pressure and then that gift of a try made it a contest. By rights they should've been out of the running already.

              Then unforced errors came knocking and you could see the Aussie girls tighten up.

              The bronze final I think self belief may have started to gnaw at them mentally. Some uncharacteristic big errors when you need to be accurate.

                It's crazy that after Rio, NZ women's sevens team wanted revenge against the Aussies but have won 2 golds without having to play against them.

                        One of the things I have enjoyed most about the BF7s is Waaka, and she is almost always grinning ear to ear - and still owning the plays.

                                @canefan yet they closed out a tough encounter in pool play against Ireland.

                                Baffling

                                I don't need to remind you of all the times the ABs have looked near on invincible at RWCs only to fall away. I already gave you 1999... ๐Ÿ˜ž

                                Could you? I need cheering up ๐Ÿ˜œ

                                I lived in Sydney and a co worker ( from the Hutt ) informed every Australian in the office that โ€˜we were gonna waste youseโ€ in the semi final.

                                Thanks a lot Mortlock !

                                I blame Carlos ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

                                I reckon. Merhts or DC only threw passes to their teammates.

                                    Snoop Dogg's commentary on Antonie Dupont in the Olympics 7s

                                    We definitely need Snoop Dogg alongside Nisbo for the Rugby Championship.

                                        Not surprised. She looked messed up at her interview

                                          Pretty epic to then be involved with the break that led to the winning try.
