2017-18 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Try McAlister. 29-0 NZ

Amazing how McAlister has been able to come back so soon and so good after giving birth only about 6 months ago.

[Stargazer]

And another try. Now from Broughton. 36-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Hattrick for Blyde, who scores in extra time. NZ beat Spain 43-0 and will play for 5th place.

[Stargazer]

In the mean time, the AB7s are trailing Argentina 19-7. The last Argie try was scored while Joe Webber was in the bin for, I think, a high tackle.

[Stargazer]

Joe Webber just scored an awesome length-of-field try. Absolutely brilliant. 19 - 14 ARG

[Stargazer]

Try Molia! Converted. NZ now lead 21-19!

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 21 - 19 Argentina. Phew.

That was a pretty good comeback. The 2 guys who did idiotic things to get yellowed both came back on and scored immediately. A bit of a "sorry guys, I'll fix this".

[Stargazer]

Men's results thus far:

.

Some really interesting scores, esp USA losing two games (Arg & Samoa), Scotland defeating France, and Kenya beating Canada.

[Stargazer]

The Aussies have beaten Russia 47 to nil.

There has been a bit of a hype around that new Aussie player, Maurice Longbottom, and from the little bit I've seen in this game, he indeed looks good.

[Stargazer]

The Black Ferns 7s will play France for 5th place at 12.24am.

[Stargazer]

The AB7s will play their last pool game against USA at 3.22am NZT.

Scotland beating France no real surprise. The Scots are pretty good these days - they won the London event last series at Twickenham, so are actually the last winners.

Kenya can beat anyone on their day and sevens can be a bit fickle in general.

[Stargazer]

The women's final will be played between Australia and the USA (2.15am).

[Stargazer]

First try of the game goes to Woodman, who else? Easy conversion: NZ 7-0 France

[Stargazer]

No further score in the first half. Half time: 7-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Woodman scores her 150th sevens try!! The conversion is good: 14-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

The Ferns transfer the ball so quickly; really great to watch! Blyde in for another try. 19-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now Woodman scores another one. Hattrick.

[Stargazer]

Full time: NZ 24-0 France

The Black Ferns 7s finish 5th in Dubai.
