2023-2024 World Sevens Series

@Bones Most - if not all - of those players have long-term injuries; especially Knewstubb and Ng Shiu have been out for ages.

I have no Sky for the next two months. Is there a way to watch the WR Sevens Series online, with or without a VPN? I'd welcome links when they are available.

@Stargazer Sometimes these things are available on the TAB and Bet365

Well I could only watch it on the sevens website last year, so hoping that's the case again? You'd have to VPN to a country where it's available and probably change your time zone. Or do the VPN on your phone and tether.

Dominant performance from the American women against Spain in first game. A 27 - 0 win.
France won the other game that I didn't see against Canada 29 - 0.

Australia making a good start against Brazil.

[Stargazer]

Pretty disappointing for the supporters of teams that play on field 2; those games don't seem to be televised. I hope our NZ teams will play all their games on the main field.

[Stargazer]

BF7s v South Africa starting now.

[Stargazer]

South Africa the first to score. BF7s struggling early against a new team in the Series.

[Stargazer]

Tenika Willison having a mare thus far. That SA try was basically the result of a pass into nowhere from her, and now again she threw the ball straight to a SA player.

BF7s back on attack and Mahina Paul scores.

[Bovidae]

Miller looked slow...

[Stargazer]

Another defensive error from the BF7s and South Africa score their second. Nice try.

HT: BF7s 5 - 14 South Africa

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Forward v back. Also Miller having had to make a lot of tackles. Hardest worker on the field.

[Stargazer]

So sloppy.

[Stargazer]

Multiple changes now. I hope they took Willison off.

[Stargazer]

Subs have immediate effect. Great try scored by Hotham while SA have a player in the bin.

12 - 14 SA

[Bovidae]

NZ would be stuffed without Hirini.

[Stargazer]

Phew. Hirini scores the winning try with less than 30 seconds to go. That attack started with her making a turnover at the other side of the field.

FT: BF7s 19 - 14 South Africa

That was way too close. I hope they've shaken off the rust and dust now and play better in their other games.

[Bovidae]

NZ played last weekend so there shouldn't be any excuse for the mistakes.
