    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?

            Wonderful player. Humanity needs people like this.
            Such a shame in Rugby WC 2023 the draw was so messed up we didn't see more of France.
            The French WC atmosphere was lacking in the semis and beyond. I missed it.

              Used throughout most of his 7s time to bringing his visions and skill from the bench. I hope to see BB do the same thing, he seems to be able to come on and change the game with a full brief from the coaching/analytics team and his own vision it makes sense

                      I will say that I'm not going to miss the female commentator for the BBC

                      Think she's a Kiwi

                      My ears were bleeding

                          And she knows the laws and can recognise all the players which puts her above the rest of the 7s commentators on the BBC feed at these Olympics.

                            Big deal

                            She is still an annoying screecher

                            Watched it without sound

                            Far better

                            Why do female commentators feel the need to be shouting most of the time?

                                        2 wins from 2 today from the Black Ferns 7s team.

                                        They are looking strong and so is the Australian squad.
