That's the live blog, the link I posted is the live stream. Quality looks OK, not sure how data-chewing it is.

Couple of surprises there, France and Scotland!!

 

[Highlander35]

Thank fuck Wales got up there.

Very neutral the whole way through, then the little shit on the ground threw out the leg at the last ruck trying to trip the scrummie. Scum.

 

[TOCC]

absolutely ridiculous that it's so difficult to actually watch the Womens Sevens team..

Women's QF results:

NZ 39-0 SA
Russia 17-7 Canada, bit of an upset there
England 19-17 Fiji
Australia 42-0 France

SF ~19:30 Banjo'clock, not sure if on 502 or only streaming (hoping for the former but won't be at all surprised if it's the latter).

ANZAC Final is on! Kiwis just gotta hope England take more outa your ladies than Russia outa ours (plus Russians will hopefully have had more taken out of them by Canada than England by Fiji).

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Jaysus, Canada are giving Fiji a red-hot go, 19-19 with 1:30 on the clock & in possession on the Fiji 10m line............

EDIT: inevitably, Fiji turn it over & nek minnit it's Fiji 26-19 Canada.

Foxtel Guide is showing 'Live: Women's Sevens' on Foxtel Sports 2 and HD2 from 10pm AEST to 11:30pm AEST tonight December 2.

absolutely ridiculous that it's so difficult to actually watch the Womens Sevens team..

The issue seems to be that World Rugby has infuriatingly implemented a policy whereby if Foxtel is showing Mens' 7s live then it automatically geo-blocks its streaming feed of Women's 7s live at the same times and so there is zero way for Aussie-based Women's 7s fans to watch our team if the Mens 7s is on simultaneously and shown by Foxtel. The sole exception seems to be when Foxtel itself will broadcast Women's 7s live (as I have listed above).

Makes so much sense in promoting Women's 7s in Australia.

Foxtel Guide is showing 'Live: Women's Sevens' on Foxtel Sports 2 and HD2 from 10pm AEST to 11:30pm AEST tonight December 2.

Based on that they're only showing the last three matches, Challenge Tropy (bottom six) Final, 3rd/ 4th playoff & the Final.
