2023 World Sevens Series

@KiwiMurph But are the new guys good enough to replace them? I have my doubts.

Stargazer

I think we can already say goodbye to the Quarter Finals. This team won't beat Australia.

Stargazer

17 - 0 to Samoa with less than 30 seconds to play and a man in the bin.

Yeah i hear you - for example every time I see Moses Leo play he is really really loose/wild in his play - all over the shop

Stargazer

Make that 22 - 0. Terrible.

Stargazer

@KiwiMurph And it doesn't help that someone like Tangitau is now going to SR.

FT: New Zealand 0 - 24 Samoa

Moses Leo was a candidate for worst ever performance by a kiwi in a sevens match. His early missed tackles really took the pressure of Samoa before the card. He has pace but all round game has always been a bit too loose.
Strange call to start with some of our strongest players on the bench against Samoa.

How bad was McGarvey-Black. Blew a 3 on 1 overlap in the first half and then just made dumb decisions thereafter.

Stargazer

Earlier this evening, the AB7s beat Hong Kong 38 - 14.

For perspective:
The Aussies beat Hong Kong 43 - 0.

BUT

The Aussies also lost to Samoa!!! (17 - 22)

So suddenly, this NZ v Aussie match is really important. Kick-off 11.03pm.

Stargazer

Come on guys. A big game, please. Aussies favourites though.

Stargazer

Bloody hell. That Aussie try was way too easy. Ughh.

Steven Harris

Awful lazy defence , anybody could see that cut coming

Steven Harris

Good hit back ,Leo showing some pace

Stargazer

That's the best possible answer. Great team try, Moses Leo.

Steven Harris

Dreadful from Molia was no need to commit to that ruck

Stargazer

Again, The stupidity is mind-boggling. How do you leave that side open?

Stargazer

Okay, I call it now. We'll lose this one, too. Out of the Cup.

Give this team three legs of the Series and if they don't improve. Start culling and bring in development players.

Steven Harris

We dont appear to have anywhere the X Factor Aussie have , little alone the pace , can only see this going one way

Stargazer

@Steven-Harris We look incredibly slow. Snail's pace compared to the Aussies and Samoans.
