2016-2017 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

Tough 2nd game for the BF7s. It's half time and 7 all. Weak game from Portia Woodman, with several hospital passes causing problems. France playing very well.

[Stargazer]

Pfew, narrow win for the Black Fern 7s: 14-12.
Two tries from Kelly Brazier, the 2nd after great work from the two youngsters (Saili and Te Tamaki).

They will be through to the Cup QF, but need to improve their defence. Too many errors.

And this happened, too:

Ruby Tui is a tackle monster. Wow.

[Stargazer]

Half time: NZ 17 - 0 Canada

NZ much, much better than the previous game.

[Bones]

@Stargazer geez that hardly seems shocking or disgusting.

[Stargazer]

NZ beat Canada 31 to 10. Really good game. Tui and Woodman outstanding, but the whole team played well.

In the Cup QF tomorrow, the Black Ferns 7s will play France at 12.00pm.

I don't think this game will be televised because this game isn't played in the stadium. I read on an Aussie news website that the organisation had made a mistake when preparing the schedule and, as a result, the women's Cup Quarter Finals are played on an outside field. The semis and finals will be played at the stadium.

[Stargazer]

@Bones Yeah, it was a late shoulder tackle, and Simpkins was in quite a bit of pain, but One News was definitely exaggerating there.

"Disgusting" is ott

[Stargazer]

The Black Ferns 7s lead 7 to 5 against France at half time. Another tough game against the French.

[Stargazer]

Strong game from the women. The BF7s completely overpowered France in the second half: 24-5. Through to the semis against the winner of the game Ireland v USA. The SF is at 4:04pm.

Edit: opponent in the SF will the USA.

The AB 7s play their first game at 1.42pm.

[KiwiMurph]

Nz throw away a 14 nil lead and its 14 all halftime. Getting hammered at the breakdown.

[Stargazer]

Terrible calls from Joubert (YC NZ and penalty try to Oz) and a crucial mistake from Mikkelson costing the AB7s the 14-0 lead against Australia. It's 14all at half time.

[KiwiMurph]

Iopu Aso has a lot to learn.

[Stargazer]

AB7s beat the Aussies 26 - 14.

[Stargazer]

It's not going well for the BF7s. USA lead 12-0 in the semi final at half time.

It was a bit late.

[Bovidae]

Only watched the last 5 mins of the girls but they were shafted by that ref with the ruck penalties.

[Stargazer]

Kiwi women lose to the USA: 12 - 19. They will play for bronze against the loser of Australia v Canada at 7.15pm.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yes, the ref also missed a knock-on by the USA and there was something dodgy with one of the USA tries as well ( I forgot what it was).
