Don't mean to bang on about this but where is the crowd? We were told that over 100k tickets were sold for the 3 days. Be lucky if there are 20k across the 3 days.

Someone needs to come under some heat.

Perhaps the IRB should have put focus on this rather than reviewing Horwill's citing,

Has some Russian Billionaire bought all the seats for themselves so they can watch the game in peace and quiet?

So is it Darkness vs the Wizards from Fiji in the other Semi.

We go in for our second meat pie, but conversions could kill us.

Edit: 3rd try. 17 - 21. Conversions key.

Bloody hell. The Aussie women just got knocked out after the bell by Spain. Title defence is over.

Two missed conversions tells the story of each of the Oz men's and women's matches!

But anyway, we weren't meant to win this year! The Oz women will be up there come Rio '16.

We need to get the Women's games on TV - Foxtel or FTA or both.

Mr Rabbit can prove that he is not a misogynist by legislating for better coverage of Womens sports where we are internationally competitive. We have a tonne of top female athletes in this country. Apart from Swimming, not too many of the sports our women are awesome at are Olympic level.

We need to attract those top athletes to Women's 7's. The best way for this to happen is to get them some time on TV - whatever it costs.

Geranimo De La Fuente from Los Pumas. What a beautiful name?

The benefits of a sport with a genuine global presence.

The Darkness Shielas are rather impressive.

We will be up against it in our tilt for Rio Gold.

This will not just be a case of assembling some fit and fast girls into a team in January 2016. Olympic Gold will be an engineered and strategised event.
