This got great coverage over here on FTA/Network TV with NBC covering it and explaining the game very well. Enjoyable Saturday and Sunday afternoon with 2 hours of prime coverage each day. Better than going out in 6 inches of slushy snow.

Being an Olympic sport now gets huge notice in the US. The whole build up and focus is that you do well, you can become an Olympian. Oh and that the US are the defending Olympic champions.

Aussies looked poor, SA looked good. Canucks done good in the plate as well. They're a young side as well. We (the Aussies) were a bit clueless against Samoa.

Australia make so many basic mistakes it makes me wonder about their program and selections. Wales kicked 3 times and we were unable to capitalise once then we kicked at the death to try and score when maintaining possession and continueing to apply pressure would have given the Aussies the result......unbelievable

Aus beat SAF 21-12

It is early days but Pool C after 2 games Portugal leads on 6 points, having beaten Samoa, and Scotland. Samoa and Scotland on 4 points and ENG on 2 points having lost to Scotland and Samoa.

Whuuda thunk.

Gotta laugh at all the publicity Carlin Isles gets, yeah he's bloody quick but he has zero rugby skills at all. Compare that to someone like Shannon Walker he has speed but can evade people with his elusiveness.

Yup, they're through to the cup quarters. Won't know who they play until the result of Fiji vs Canada.

I agree on Isles. It's as if the commentators have been told by the IRB to pump him up for every little thing he does. If I did a ranking on the wingers of the core teams, Isles would be near the bottom.

Portugal lose to the Soap Dodgers but end up with 7 points from 3 games, and look like topping their pool.

ENG only have 5 points from their 3 games.

The heavyweights are all on one side of the draw, which makes it pretty interesting. I don't think Canada, Wales, Portugal or Kenya have made the HK finals before, but one of them will definitely be in the finals tomorrow.

I don't think it's fair that Wales top the pool, but oh well.
