Hamilton 7s

[Stargazer]

So this is where all the posts have gone, a separate thread.

Spain putting up a good fight against Canada, and the game ends in a draw! Spain could have won that; why that last player went for a grubber kick? Not sure he knows it himself.

[Stargazer]

Wow, great try from Molia! First NZ try of the tourney.

[Stargazer]

Now Nareki crosses the line. Knewstubb converts again. 14 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Now, Knewstubb scores himself & converts his own try. 21 - 0 NZ

This could become a big score.

[Stargazer]

Dylan Collier scores the last try of the first half.

Half time: NZ 26 - 0 Japan

[Stargazer]

Geezus, that was good from Regan Ware! Try time!

33 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Nareki! Great speed. 40 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Great break from Ravouvou, and Koroi scores the try.

45 - 0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Ravouvou scores a try of his own in referee's time.

Full time: NZ 52 - 0 Japan

Great start for the AB7s, although it was more an opposed training run against the bottom-dwellers of the World Series.

The Black Ferns 7s will play at 1.26pm against England.

[Stargazer]

Wow, Michaele Blyde, what a try!

7- 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Break from Stacey Waaka and Sarah Hirini (Goss) scores!

14 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

One of the NZ players looks injured. Can't see who it is. Sarah Hirini?

[Stargazer]

Hirini goes off; Te Tamaki comes on. I hope that injury isn't too bad.

In the mean time, try to England.

Half time: NZ 14 - 7 England

[Stargazer]

Great offload from Stacey Waaka to Gail Broughton, who scores the third NZ try.

19 - 7 NZ

[Stargazer]

Defensive error from the BF7s leads to an easy try from England.

19 - 14 NZ

[Stargazer]

Tough first game for the BF7s against a good looking England side. The Ferns were clearly missing Hirini in that 2nd spell; and obviously Brazier and Woodman.

FT: NZ 19 - 14 England

[Higgins]

Tonga up seven nil over England (who have a guy in the bin), the colonials are showing just who is boss today.

[Machpants]

That was quick! First NZ try, nine seconds
