        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.

                          Not sure how the 3 groups will fall in terms of NZ, Aus and France but would be good if NZ v Aus is not destined to be a semi-final.

                            As long as NZ and Aust win their pools they will be on opposite sides of the draw.

                            NZ - Pool A

                                US women looked strong and on their day could challenge some of the more favoured teams.

                                  @RoninWC You mean Curry? It did seem strange that Webber went from being only a travelling reserve to replacing the injured Ware in the starting team. It doesn't say much about the original team selection.

                                  Yes, I meant Curry, thanks for picking that up.

                                  And yes, the whole selection was an absolute mess for those games.

                                    Pretty good game this between USA and France. Both play a pretty physical style.

                                      Black Ferns beat Fiji 38-7.

                                      They will play China in their Quarter Final.
