2016-2017 World Sevens Series

[Stargazer]

This women's final is a must-watch. Our women are so good! That first try from Ruby Tui was brilliant; the 2nd from Nathan-Wong wasn't bad either. 14-0 NZ

[Stargazer]

Awesome, the girls absolutely bossed the Aussies. Final score: 28-5. Champions!

If only the NZ men were half that good ...

The All Blacks 7s beat England 19-0 in the QF. Was a good game. Mikkelson scored twice; the other try was scored by Forbes. England looked quite average.

They'll play Fiji in the Semi Final at 11:06am tomorrow .

@Stargazer DJ the skipper even though Curry is in?

[Stargazer]

@booboo When I copied it from the ABs website, and pasted it here (see my earlier post), it mentioned both Curry and Forbes as captains. They have corrected it on their website since then. Curry is the captain.

[Stargazer]

Tim Mikkelson has been ruled out of the #Canada7s tournament due to flu. Andrew Knewstubb will replace him in the 12-man squad.

[Stargazer]

Good first win from the AB7s, who have just beaten Russia 40 to 0.

[Stargazer]

Another good win from the AB7s, beating Scotland 33-12, including 4 minutes with 6 against 7 men.

Canada will be a tougher opponent and more discipline needed.

[No Quarter]

Been a fair while since I watched 7s but from what I can see Koroi is our best player by miles.

[Stargazer]

@No-Quarter Yep, awesome talent. Only 18 years old!

[Stargazer]

NZ beat Canada 15 to 14. That's 3 wins out of 3.

The AB 7s will play England in the Cup QF, tomorrow at 7.52am.

[Bones]

You have to be kidding me. Curtis and collier in the same team and both starting. Both already shown how out of their depth they are, several times in 5 minutes.

[Bones]

Just for good measure, collier adds an extra bit of spastic at the end of the first half as Curtis has gone off injured so he has to double down.

[Stargazer]

Damn, AB7s lost 14 -12. If the England player who took Curry out (in the air) was properly penalised with a yellow, that might have made the difference, but overall the England defence was better, so probably their win is deserved.

[Stargazer]

The AB 7s go to the 5th place semi-final. They'll play Australia at 10:46am.
