BF7s lead 5-0 against Australia at half time. Contentious YC for Sarah Goss just before halftime, so Oz will start the 2nd half with a player more.

That was a shocker of a yellow. But managed to score again when a player down. Michaela Blyde has some serious gas and can keep it up over distance. Remember watching her at the Mount a few years ago when she was still at school carving up, a tiny girl scoring from 80m out.

Carlin Isles demonstrating against Russia why you can't give him the slightest amount of space.

Unconvincing win against Scotland sets the 7s boys up for day two.

Got Fiji in the quarters again.
Curry, Koroi and Molia all had absolute shockers, we were lucky to come away with that in the end, mainly due to Ware and Timmeh.
Can't say I'm super sold in Molia...Guess he's preferable to Collier though!

Made hard work beating Fiji.

@Bones Well no doubt as he (Molia) pretty much lost last weeks match against Fiji by himself.
Let's hope he makes up for it this weekend.

He just scored the winning try for NZ against Fiji. So I guess he did!

@Stargazer The sarcasm probably stems from the examples where women don't tend to turn up to watch women play sport.

....and men tend not to turn up unless it's beach volleyball.

AB7s 5, England 5 at half time.
I still don't understand those high tackle laws. Koroi got penalised for a high tackle, but all he did was pull a guy down by pulling his shoulder with one hand (not with his arm). Didn't get anywhere near the neck/head area. How's that a high tackle?

Above the shoulder.
How is this clown of a ref permitted to attend these events? Just lets anything go at rucks after calling players out!

@Stargazer England looked more composed.

Technically, a hand on the shoulder is above the shoulder, but how that is a high tackle is beyond me. There's nothing dangerous about a hand on the shoulder and I thought it was about not getting into the neck/head area and that certainly wasn't the case. If that's the correct interpretation of the law, it's a stupid law.
