HSBC Tokyo 7's - Easter 2015

[ACT Crusader]

Well done OZ, a shame it didn't mean anything for the tourney. Given their shock losses to Portugal and Scots.

 

[Nusadan]

It's a shame refereeing decisions have played a big part in that, however, I do know it's not an isolated case!

NZ seemingly no fucks given in that one, wft was that, half-arsed, lazy at breakdown, ponderous going forward, where's the game breakers, howFT did Aus lose to Portugal and Scotlandffs, fugu for brekkie, just plain dumb

One word: Referee

Loving the Japanese mix of Blitzkreig Bop.............

............. getting a run every time there's anything resembling a break in play.

Seths dodge a bullet, great run from Barrett but loses it in goal. USA! USA! USA! Isles has surely scored here but ref wants to look at fuck knows what....... gives it, 5-0 & kick from the sideline misses.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Seths in, good work from the usual suspects. Kick misses from out wide, 5-5 & 2:45 until oranges.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Seth 1 runs into Seth 2, scrum USA! USA! USA! 22 out & roughly midfield..... TRY TIME! Good work by Bender in the lead up, their Fijian unit finishes it off. Kick is rubbish so 10-5 at Oranges.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Oh dear, Seths go boom! boom! & nek minit it's SA 19-10 USA! USA! USA! Seths in again, 24-10 with 3:00 left.

USA! USA! USA! score with Senatla in the bin, 24-15 final score & USA! USA! USA! probably haven't done enough points differential-wise to advance, they're -30 c.f. Canada -23 with Kenya to play........

Shite. Well I'm glad I missed that. The Scot game got me onto the JD+Coke early. Had I of seen that plus the Portugal game I probably would be unconscious by now.

I'll give you one little low light to get you onto another JD.

Wallabies break down the left side. Walker running to the try line, with no defenders in front and one defender about 2m behind. He gets about 2-3 metres from the line and props and decides to throw a basketball pass over the head of the pursuing Portuguese defender to a Wallaby support. The defender turns to tackle the player now in possession who steps towards Walker, who is now obstructing the defender. Result penalty Portugal on their own line. All Wlaker had to do to score the try was take two steps and fall over with no defender in front.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Canucks 14-5 Kenya at Oranges.

Canucks 21-5 Kenya with 3:15 on the clock.

Canucks go through on points differential (I think).

Have these floodlights been borrowed from Manly Oval?

Fully official QF draw here:

My money's on TBC, they playing plenty good footy right now, aiui.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Argentina 26-19 Samoa, 3:30 left. Argies could really fuck the French up here (so clearly it's go Argentina )

Samoa aka NZ B score next, tho, so 26-26 but a draw is good enough for Japan to go through & France not, apparently, so clearly it's GO YOU FUCKIN' DRAW! Not that I've got anything against the French, of course, apart from (obviously) them being FRENCH.

Draw so au revoir, you French Muthafuckas.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

On SBS ONE right now is Apocalypse Now: Redux which is great but after that is Hearts of Darkness, the behind-the-scenes doco filmed by FFC's wife & it's even better.......

Japan v France underway.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Japan 14-12 France, siren has sounded but ref makes them re-start. Japan kick it out, officially half time now.

Thankyou for the post, the cat below was my reaction.

Then this.

I went away from the 7's again only to come back & be updated that we beat NZ after playing two shit games earlier. Now I've had a mind explosion.

It's been a topsy tervy weekend thus far.

 

[Nusadan]

Japan makes the qtr finals and we miss out!

Japan makes the qtr finals and we miss out!

Bulli for Japan. We on the other hand screwed up. I don't think I even want to know what happened to NZ, I was expecting us to get pumped by 100.

^^^^^^^^ does this help ease the pain?

Thought so
