We are out.
That game showed the worst of our historical bad habits - the ones that let us down against NZ time and time again.
Simple handling errors under no pressure. Caslick's long ball just outside the attacking 22 was never a sound option with possession and the lead on the line. Discipline and smarts against more physical teams.
Disappointing.

Got to give credit to Russia though as they were playing only with 9 players due to Covid hitting their squad. This was a great against the odds victory for them.

I'm not taking anything away from them. They used the simple game plan that our current squad get popped by occasionally - muscle up and rattle us.
Their veterans were superb.

They definitely out muscled Australia and agree their veterans gave some of the Aussie’s a lesson .

Both teams a little shaky this weekend at times, coaching changes may not have helped. We had some real momentum out of dubai. Not saying we can beat the boks tonight but its going to be a great effort if we did.

Bronzed Woman but not bronzed men. Pity men lost to England by 4 points in the final as would have made otherwise for good follow up result to Dubai to medal again.

Men looked not nearly as sharp in attack as they did in Dubai.

I've watched Krisi Kuridrani play for my club team over a number years, back when he was fresh out of school and ended up with a Broncos U20s contract, and up to last year when he played 13 for Premier Grade. He's been a great player for GPS.
It definitely seemed a weird time to pick him for the national 7s team. He looked to have lost a yard or two of pace at club level, and didn't seem as agile as prior years. I haven't watched any of this tournament, but judging by the comments, the selection has missed the mark, as many thought it would.

Dowling and Dunbar got a fair bit of time on the park in the last series (and looked really good) and didn't get much time this time. The team dropped off a lot of tackles vs England was the main difference. For the girls, did you see winx get run down - first time ever.
