I like the athleticism of our squad. They look in great nick.

Hopefully, the skills and decision-making will be there when needed most.

Not sure I like having the 7s two days before the Opening Ceremony.

All the teams look a tad rusty - especially with their handling

Interesting to see that you can’t call for a scrum as a consequence of a free kick infringement at the scrum in 15-a-side but you can in 7s

Ireland beat Japan 40-5 which puts a bit of context on the NZ result earlier.

[sparky]

Ireland looking very powerful.

[sparky]

Three great offloads and NZ are in for the first try against South Africa.

[sparky]

SA in. Really sleepy defence by NZ.

[sparky]

5-5. Wake the fuck up, NZ!

[sparky]

NZ 10-5 up. Second half beginning.

[sparky]

Scott Curry went off for a HIA.

[sparky]

You beauty!

[sparky]

And the kick's good. NZ 17 SA 5

[sparky]

Less than two minutes left.

[sparky]

Scott Curry back. Passed his HIA.

[sparky]

Regan Ware limps off.

[KiwiMurph]

Wow Ware bounces back up

[KiwiMurph]

Rokolisoa unlucky there I don't think he was held
