    Cherry on top, Ormond knocks himself out without even making the tackle.

      Then you have the veterans playing worse than the newbies.

      NZ coaches seem to be incapable of bringing in new blood or letting their regulars go. Seen it in the ABs, Black Caps and sevens. It's shit.

          I don't recall seeing a men's 7s team playing worse. The players, skill, etc are all there, but just playing like numpties and don't seem to want to be there.

          "Through the hands" doesn't seem to be the best attacking style either.

            And then we look all pace and skill in the 9th place "final".

              Amazing what happens when you start three talented 19 year olds and give them some rope.

              All 3 had top games

                Comes down to it, who gives a fuck? I'm disappointed but don't care beyond any game/sport that NZ don't win. It's only 7s, and the worst of it is that the morons in NZR decided to give them the abs moniker. Now Uruguay have beaten the abs.

                But still, as pointed out, this is another continuity pick destroying a great legacy in 7s.

                    The game against Fiji highlighted perfectly the problem with the AB7s. A decent start and throw away the game at 5-7 with mistake after mistake.

                    Kunawave showed his inexperience with some poor options. I was surprised that Cama started both newbie wingers. Not that it helped!

                      Hoping before the next tournament someone can introduce the ABs to the concept of tackling.

                        Christ on a bike, Ware's handling skills make Shields look like DC

                          Some rookie mistakes by the newbies in the 1st half.

                            Mathis meekly going into touch twice, plus the bobble pass to Ware and the pass straight into touch is quite the achievement in less than ten minutes.

                              Also weird to have two guys out there with such similar names. Frank Varnookoo and Frank Vaenuku.

                                Not convincing at all. Vaenuku has a bad habit of getting himself isolated in the tackle.

                                  Tip for the Oz woman commentator - it's not counter attack if you have the throw in to a lineout 30m from the try line.

                                    Fuck yeah. About time South Africa got punished for their fucking bullshit.

                                    That try saving tackle on half time was fucking awesome

                                      Hutchison looks busted tho. A few injuries in that game and argies are heavy favourites

                                        Deadly from the women. Can Corey coach the men too?

                                          Argentina looked bloody good in their SF.

                                          Michaela has found the try line again.
