2023 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

The AB7s beat Samoa 40 - 5, this morning.

Both Samoa and South Africa haven't made the Cup QFs. I don't think South Africa will drop out of the top 4, unless maybe Australia or France win the tournament, which we obviously don't want to happen.

Cup QFs

1.34pm: BF7s v Canada

5.35pm: AB7s v Australia (TBC)

[Stargazer]

First try goes to Portia Woodman. Good team try.

5 - 0 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Geezus, Blyde! That was a brilliant try. Stepping and speed. Beautiful.

10 - 0 BF7s

[Bones]

Oh fuck. That is absolutely filthy from Blyde.

[Stargazer]

The BF7s are just bullying the Canadians. The way they pushed them over the touch line, haha.

Half time: BF7s 10 - 0 Canada

[Stargazer]

There are some awesome costumes in the crowd.

[Stargazer]

Oops, Blyde gets yellow for a high tackle. Her second high tackle of the game.

[Stargazer]

Try to Canada. Great effort from the 6 BFs to keep out the 7 Canadians, but in the end they found the hole left by Blyde.

10 - 5 BF7s

[Stargazer]

Haha, Hirini's facials. Didn't agree with the ref, said nothing, but her expression said it all.

The Ferns must be careful. It's too close. Fortunately, the Canadian knocked the ball on.

[Stargazer]

Phew, that was close. The Canadians ferociously trying to get their hands on the ball, so close to the Ferns' try line, but the clock saves it for the BF7s.

FT: BF7s 10 - 5 Canada

[Steven Harris]

Get out free jail card activated

[Bovidae]

Sweeney needs to put the sentimentality aside and move on from Brazier. Too old, too slow now.

[Stargazer]

[Bovidae]

Go the BF7s.

We'll ignore the men's games tomorrow.

[Stargazer]

FT: AB7s 7 -17 Australia

Disappointing result.

I missed the game. We’re we being too cute and not getting the balance between old heads and youth right? When we do we are the best in the comp. That’s a poor result against an Oz side that has been struggling.

[Bones]

Argentina bullying Fiji, don't often see that. Just not intimidated by them at all.

[Bones]

7:55 for that disgusting try by Blyde.

Very disappointed they benched Solo and started with Leo. Benched Carter early too and Rokolisoa on a bit late. Leo can run but lacks the other skills and it is costly. Collier looked a bit slow too. This time spreading the matches and combos around cost them. But not much in it.
