2019-2020 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Over 40 degrees on the field, earlier today. I can understand it if the players are exhausted. That heat is draining. But it affects all teams, so no excuses.

HT: Australia 14 - 5 NZ

Our passing has been woeful

[Stargazer]

YC for Longbottom. This is our chance.

[Stargazer]

Try Ware!!

[Stargazer]

14 - 12 Oz

[Stargazer]

Try Collier. Phew.

[Stargazer]

Expensive yellow card.

17 - 14 AB7s

[Stargazer]

That is such a stupid mistake.

Three bad passes gave Oz their half-time lead.

Another bad pass gives them possession.

[Stargazer]

Great turnover.

[Stargazer]

Another yellow for Longbottom. Red Card.

It doesn't matter for this game, it's over, but he won't play in their bronze final.

Anyone else disappointed in Nanai-Seturo? He keeps getting talked up, but he has yet to do anything to suggest to me he is something special. Too harsh?

[ARHS]

@Crazy-Horse yes. he seems a little indecisive on both tackle and attack. We had best 7 start last game altho Ng Shiu is up there too. Koroi and Molia a bit out of synch currently.

[Stargazer]

@Crazy-Horse I think it's way too soon for any conclusions. This is only his first tournament of the season, and he hasn't had much game time. I also think that for some players the step from XVs to 7s is more difficult than for others. So, I'd give him some time.

[Stargazer]

The two women's semi-finals were better than this bronze final.

[Stargazer]

The French women win bronze.

FT: France 19 - 14 Australia

[Stargazer]

Wow, England score within 12 seconds; straight from the kick-off.

[Stargazer]

Great strength from Lachie Anderson. Awesome try for Oz.
