2022 World Sevens Series

[Bones]

Samoa leading SA 21-0

[Bones]

Remains that score at halftime after some stirring defence from Samoa

[Bones]

SA knocked out in the quarters...I guess they might get 5th...

[Bones]

Wow, England 33-7 down with 3:30 to go, get a penalty on halfway and call a scrum. Very smart

[Bones]

NZ advance negative 40 metres by endlessly passing it to the ground

[Bones]

Haaaaa Toole with a stroll over and lives up to his name, instead stopping and trying to step inside, getting tackled short. Pops it up and Aussie knock it on. 90 seconds later Ng Shiu scores.

Love seeing arrogance like that punished

[Bones]

Lacklustre way to close out the half with Aussie down to 6 and NZ with no urgency, eventually throwing a loopy forward pass.

[Bones]

Ref doesn't understand the rules, NZ kicks off, doesn't go ten but Aussie tap it back. He calls the not ten free kick anyway

[Bones]

Fiji. Unbelievably skilled sevens players. Unbelievably atrocious referees.

[Bones]

And now the ref obstructs NZ to setup Aussies try to take them into the lead

[Bones]

Annnnd penalises Baker for his hands touching the ground after Australian joining players were horizontal the whole game right on the buzzer, how convenient

[ARHS]

Bizarre refereeing. NZ players looked a bit mystified at the series of calls against them. Best game I have seen from Brady Rush though.

[Duluth]

Nz v Sa in the 5th place playoff now

Currently 7-5 to SA

[Duluth]

That’s an interesting way to bomb a try

Which is usually how every other team looks when NZ or RSA get a tongue massage on their taint from the refs.

It'll even out eventually, I guess... If it keeps going like that, maybe 2030?

[ARHS]

@nta did you watch at all?

[ARHS]

@duluth placing it on your own leg inches from the dead ball line might be more understandable if there was a defender in the frame.

[booboo]

Good kick off by Bokke and they hit the lead

[booboo]

2 point game.

10secs

[booboo]

Ah poop
