    @Stargazer who Fiji would have beaten. So each team would have beaten and lost to one other they're equal on points with you see...

        If Fiji beats nz by 1 point, then nz will miss out if Canada beat Japan by 33 points.

          NZ just needs to stay within 19 points of Fiji - and with a good start, 12-0 up... we're looking safe.

              See-saw game.
              NZ 24-14 up, with a Fiji player off... looking sweet.
              Nek minute - Fiji back to 7 men, NZ down to 6 - 22-21
              Edit: Finally - a try to clinch it, Fiji get to play for a trophy.

                Awesome! Much better from the boys, real intensity in attack and especially defence. Forbes was huge as we're Dickson and Webber, the old boys standing up. Nice confidence from Houston!

                    @Crash said in 2016-2017 World Sevens Series:

                    Houston - we have lift off!

                    The English commentator got worked up after that try, "Houston, we don't have a problem".

                    It was a great effort I thought especially given we were down a man.

                      So Samoa finish 13th overall in Titch's first season. A bit tough with Titch not coaching the first couple of tournaments but Samoa will be paying him a decent figure so they would have hoped for better I would have thought.

                        Wrong decision. That pass wasn't forward.

                            What a disgrace. The ref completely fucked the AB7s over.

                              NZ penalised for having 8 men on the field because Scotland started the play quickly while the NZ player was still leaving the field. Total joke. Unbelievable. This has cost them the semi-final.

                                NZ 7s completely blew that. You could see it coming. Sums up their season completely.

                                      @Stargazer They conceded 4 tries in the second half. They bottled it. For a second I thought the Stormers v Blues ref Van Heerden was reffing when Dickson smashed a scot in the face and didnt get yellowed.

                                        @JustAnotherFan Because he penalised the AB7s for something that wasn't their fault (that a player who was subbed off was still on the field when the Scots took the quick tap & the AB7s were deemed to be "playing" with 8 men which was absolutely nonsense). If anyone is to blame, it's the sideline official who let the new player on before the other player had left the field.

                                        That penalty enabled the Scots to score a try.

                                          Then blame the sideline official. Not the ref. But rules are rules. It is not 7 vs 8. NZ got away with it 2 years ago and won the game. So to be honest. Suck it up.
