Olympic Sevens 2024

Given RSA lost 2 pool games it seems a bit shit they're in medal contention alongside 3 undefeated teams.
I hate the 12 team system in 3 pools

Tomasi Cama a rubhish coach.
Starting Joe Webber in a knockout match is one of the most stupid decisions I've seen watching decades (and playing) sevens.
He misses far too many tackles (in fact, the only tackle I can recall he made was at the kickoff for the 2nd half, his one and only good play in the whole match), his passes are piss poor, usually going behind the player he's passing to and he pretty much does the same thing every time he has the ball in hand.To compound that headscratcher, he doesn't start either of the two playmakers used the most thru the HSBC 7s, Cook-Savage and Rokolisoa, yet he starts Collier and Dillon who are both too old and too slow and keeps them on almost the entire match. In fact, Collier played the entire match and contributed almost nothing just because he's the captain he's kept on the whole time... WTF!
And WTF was that from Knewstubb, he was thru the tackle, line open in front of him and he attempts a miracle offload which is intercepted and turned into the match winning score when the SA player looks up, sees only Dillion and Collier in front of him and takes the most logical option, kick and chase when you know you can outpace your opposition, just too easy.

@NTA Make that two undefeated teams. France lost to Fiji.
It is utterly weird that Australia are one of them.
But it is likely to be a France v Fiji final...

Watched a replay of that Oz v USA match and I thought there was some dodgy reffing throughout the game that favoured the Aussies quite a bit.
Their defence is good though and I would back them to beat Fiji.

Jesus you took your time, I was sure the bait signal would go up as soon as I mentioned Way's name.

Nah I recalibrated the algo after it kept stalling on that

I know the football has to start early to fit in the whole comp with enough gaps between games. But is the Sevens starting early just because of other events coming up in the stadium?
Yes. Basically have to play the men’s and women’s before the athletics start.

Are there no other Stadiums in Paris?

Oz get some some good metres out wide but can’t capitalise.

I've been a lot of those today. Light rain making things troublesome
