Threw away a medal v nz imo

Keenan added nothing, bar not catching restarts and costing us the game

I wouldn't be that hard on him, and I'm not his biggest fan, you were prob right to say Ireland are 2 players short of being the best, but they're still a very very good 7s team

Hrsh, he was excellent in the pools

2nd aus try should have been disallowed he's tried to pass and caught the ball on the floor again, that's a penalty

Fine margins

Thoughts on the semis? Surely Fiji will beat Aus. SA v France? France play like they did today I think they'll win it, SA were batting above their average to beat NZ but if they can do that again... ?

See it the same as that, hopefully goes that way too, be a great final

Yup, same.
First should be a cracking game, second should be a walk-over

Rightful red, but the try shouldn't stand, due to the huge forwards passing in the build up

That was a poor match, quite disappointed all told.

We don't get to watch live then.

The women's comp? This is piss poor coverage. I get they can't show everything, but if you've featured the men's comp, to then abandon the women's comp is not right.

We got 1 match, on a delay.
And that's it for the day.

I get that there's a lot on, and they've only 2 channels, whilst wanting to show a variety of events. I get that the pool stage of the men's had no real competition for air time.

And despite all that, it's a terrible look.

We're getting horse endangerment or tennis instead

And now they're showing the hockey match they already showed - that's the worst of things that grates.

I like the hockey, it was the sport I was actually good at.

But do we need to spend 150 minutes watching the same 75 minutes of sport twice?

ETA: okay, unfair criticism, just a highlights of the hockey (though they did do it yesterday)

Yay

Going off-schedule

Why TF are we leaving their wide woman unmarked, whilst Aus are a player down?

Have we got too many 15s players out there?
Just not really playing 7s, and Aus are crucifying every little mistake.

Allez Les Bleues

NZ v China an absolute kerb stomping

Always room for a good little un

US women have been the better team here, and then some. Totally deserving winners.

Absolutely.
Bigger, faster, stronger & more committed.

Bears repeating

They want to beat NZ's score.

Go Canada. Better on the day, but remains to be seen what they can do in the final.
