IRB HSBC Sevens Round Eight - Scotland.

[wamberal]

The Thunderbolts to play the Darkness in the Cup quarter-finals. We lost to Scotland.


The final day will be on Fox Sports tonight, starting at 8.55 IIRC.

Thanks for the reminder @Wamberal.

With the all the Shute shield, and Super action ATM, I completely forgot it.

Losing to Scots was probably not a good idea, however we would have been up against the Saffers in the 1/4 finals had we won the pool. Tough gig either way.

Fiji the one to beat today, after watching them play yesterday. Aus completely asleep against the Scots. O'Connor was asked if his team had what it takes to beat the ABs-replied the penny has to drop sometime and they'll work out how to do it.(just not this tournament )

Moving south slightly, London 7s sold out for the first day-72,000!

Oranges 12-0 to NZ

Light Scottish sunshine making it a little greasy

 

[Hugh Jarse]

NZL 19 AUS 0 3 minutes to go.

and Clarkies boy crosses the chalk to save us from the down trou.

NZL 19 AUS 7. 1:30 to go.

Final hooter goes. Yet again we are in the hunt for some cutlery item other than a Cup.

NZL progress. We don't.

FT 19-7 in miserable conditions
Clark the junior only shining light for Oz.

 

[badabing59]

England out in their new kid's pyjama kit. Seriously who is their designer, and who ok's the design?

I was gunna say Jesse Parahi he was the only one that physically took it to NZ.

You'll have a full six person dinner service soon HJ, just no cup to drink the tea from.

Yes definitely him too qwerty.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Fiji beat Soap Dodgers to set up a cracker of a Semi final - The Wizards vs The Darkness.

The crockery semi final is AUS vs ENG.

 

[qwerty51]

Scotland will feel right at home in this weather, I think they can win.

 

[Hugh Jarse]

On the money @qwerty. The Single Malts are ahead by 5 points with 3 minutes to go.

And they manage to hold on, well after the siren.

SCO vs ?? (CAN or KEN) in the Semi of the cup.

SAF join us and ENG in the crockery competition.

 

[badabing59]

They've done it! 12-7 over the Saffers!

Another good reason to split from the UK!

 

[qwerty51]

They play either Canda or Kenya in the semi and would have to be favourites for that, have Scotland ever made a final!?

 

[badabing59]

Canada is going to be tough to beat, they played really well yesterday

 

[FrankLind]

The Scots knocking the Saffers out really helps with NZ's hopes of the overall title.

 

[badabing59]

Nope, this is their third semi. Made the semis in London and Scotland 2009

 

[Hugh Jarse]

Game on v Soap Dodgers.

ENG score converted meat pie after 3 minutes. 0 - 7

Both teams making simple mistakes.

AUS can't count the attackers and stroll in after creating a 2 vs 1 overlap. Good Guys 0 - Them 14.
1 minute left until oranges.

1 minute after the siren, Tom Mitchell gets meat in the corner and converts it. Soap Dodgers are 21 - 0.

Oranges. Australia playing like Tahs in the Tahs v Blues game.

 

[badabing59]

Oranges 21-0 to poms.

Don't throw away your paper plates just yet HJ

FT 21-7. Oz looked well out of sorts for most of the game.
