NZ Sevens 2024-25

[Bovidae]

Two late tries blew the score out to a 29-14 win. Some good impact off the bench from Knewstubb and Vai.

[Bovidae]

The BF7s beat Brazil 50-7. A good game to rotate players in the Perth heat.

[NTA]

Aussie men come back hard against Argies but can't hold them out in ET.

Aussie women smack China, unsurprisingly.

Fiji lost to Portugal, bit of a shock defeat

Bit of skullduggery with Portugal playing under the Uruguay flag.

[Bovidae]

Fiji were up 17-0 in that game. NZ vs Uruguay is next.

Might have analysed their plays expecting Spanish and it all fell to pieces when they were called in Portuguese instead.

Cunning plan m'lord

[Bones]

Uruguay say Ola with a try off the kickoff.

[Bones]

So this guy on the bench for NZ, is he actually Fijian or just Fijian heritage? If the latter, shit call by the commentator.

Great pace from NMB.

Uruguay applying a lot of pressure, NZ not helping themselves timing out at the kick off, dumb stuff.

[Bones]

Now NMB with one of the dumbest plays you'll ever see. Throwing an air ball over his head to Uruguay on the fly.

Uruguay lead 14-5

[Bones]

Get one back with a lovely set play and NMB toying with the defence. Great conversion.

14-12

[Bovidae]

Cama's selections are so bad. This team lacks any speed outside of Vai.

Then you have the veterans playing worse than the newbies. Nice one Ware.

[Bones]

Fuck this is sloppy. So ugly.

Basic stuff that we're terrible at.

[Bones]

Wow shithouse effort, looked like they didn't even want to be there.

Ref was excellent though.

[Bones]

Is Foster in Perth?

Congrats Uruguay, first time ever.

[KiwiMurph]

How the fuck is Cama still the coach?

He can't coach. His teams are unprepared.

Presumably because NZR can't afford to get rid of him

Is that a euphemism for shit? He missed plenty of forward passes and ignored players in front from kickoffs.

Same old shit from NZ.

Kunawave was a scholarship player at Rotorua BHS.

[Bones]

@Bovidae guess I missed them too!
