Olympic 7's

[Wilson]

At first it looked like Fiji were going to run away with it, but Japan are really taking it to them. Playing like they have a full stadium behind them.

 

[Wilson]

Close but no cigar for Japan, Fiji win 24-19

Just when it looked like a scoreless first half (not "40", TJ ) Dan Norton breaks the deadlock, GB 7-0 Canada.

Edit: scores again seconds after the restart, 12-0 & the ground announcer letting the empty stadium know it.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Well that was disappointing from Canada.

Loving the RCV that brings the ball out, esp the way it tips the ball over the crossbar.

It's so good, they need to keep it post covid

HT: NZ 14-5 ROK

 

[Wilson]

Jeez, that penalty try seems a bit rough

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ need to see a wide-shot to see if ROK had anyone coming across in D but if not then it's a try all day long. As noted by the Brit in the comm box they're tougher on that in 7's than XV's.

FT: NZ 50-5 ROK.

William Warbrick looks like a good find & a long-term part of our World Series setup.

 

[Wilson]

Oh I get the reasoning and generally like the 7's no nonsense stance to professional fouls and delay of game penalties, it's just tough to see the smaller teams cop it like that.

 

[Dctarget]

Aus look like they just walked off the plane.

 

[Wilson]

Rocky start for Australia, haven't left their half, down 10-0 to Argentina with 1:30 to go in the first half

 

[Wilson]

Make that 15-0, kick to come

 

[Adam84]

Aussie mens are off to a horrible start, poor execution, poor commitment in defence, simple mistakes.. don't deserve win from here

 

[Wilson]

Argentina lead 24-0 at halftime. Australia looking absolutely woeful out there

 

[Dctarget]

Pietsch is in dreadful form.

Pietsch is in dreadful form.

Playing like he's already at the tahs

 

[Adam84]

All Australia can do is try and close that points differential

 

[Wilson]

Looking better this half, but it's a big gap to close

 

[Wilson]

And then they put the kick off out on the full
