Cama doesn't seem to have settled on his best seven. I'd be starting NMB.

NTA

Watching back Roidboks v Aussies.

How the fuck is direct head on head contact, where the tackler stands straight up onto the oncoming man, deemed low degree of danger? That's a fucking red all day

NTA

Anyway, suck Roidboks. You had the ref on your side most of the game but still fucked it.

And now you get to beat us in the QF this 12 team system sucks

Bovidae

The BF7s beat the USA 37-0.

I hadn't realised that Sariah Ibarra was now in the USA squad. She spent her final year of school at Hamilton GHS last year and made the NZ Girl's U18 sevens team.

QFs

Men - vs Spain at 1:51 pm
Women - vs Canada at 5:38 pm

It's crazy how bad 7s refs are

And it never improves

Spanish player cuts the corner to the breakdown right in front of the ref and he does nothing

KiwiMurph

Same old story for AB 7s (emphasis on old)

Old and slow which means they have to work so hard to score any points - which means they can never put true scoreboard pressure on the opposition

Bovidae

Ball skills have let NZ down so far.

Bovidae

How predictable. Lose to Spain again in ET.

And speed.

What's with NZ rugby and past it players being given chance after chance

It's a plague.

Bovidae

Yep. Watching Molia and Collier get caught easily from behind highlighted that.

Generally the defence was really good but NZ had chances to score a second try to seal the game but weren't good enough because they lack speed when the ball goes wide.

Bovidae

The BF7s do win their QF beating hosts Canada 34-12. Their prize is a SF against Aust (10:36 am NZT).

booboo

Can I go back a bit and whinge abit JzFxH slowing down in the USA match and fucking up a try? Look around girl! Yes you'd beaten the inside defender but watch your blindside!!!

Bovidae

The BF7s beat Aust 29-10 in the SF. They will play Fiji in the final (2:41 pm).

Bovidae

Another pathetic performance from the AB7s team losing to GB 31-10 in the 5th/6th playoff game. So many basic errors and Ng Shiu and Knewstubb shat the bed on defence.

From the report I read

In the men's competition play-off for fifth, Great Britain thumped the All Blacks Sevens 31-10.

New Zealand's sixth placing in Vancouver follows their ninth place finish in Perth.

How does cama still have a job?

Bovidae

A 41-7 win in the final.

Still undefeated at BC Place.

Bovidae

Unavailable for selection: Shiray Kaka, Akuila Rokolisoa, Lewis Ormond, Roderick Solo, Xavier Tito-Harris.

He was the start of that, sadly, didn't change with the times
