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

            The Hong Kong 10s is also taking place. I saw on the Chiefs SM that a number of their WTG players are in the Shogun team. It's stacked with NZ players.

              Just watching some HK 7s in the background whilst wondering what I can put off till Monday. Fiji beating USA who look comically bad but the score is only 26 - 19

                      Nothing better than a commentator whose only skill is describing what you've just seen with your own eyes.

                      She's ably matched by the immensely irritating American. Between them and WR, 7s should be dead by next year in English speaking countries.

                          The BF7s looked good against China.

                          The AB7s had a good 1st half but so dumb not to just kick the ball out on HT leading 21-0. But no, kick for touch, lose the lineout and Aust eventually scores. A fairly average 2nd half where Aust butchered two tries with forward passes. In general the scrambling defence was good but we still have the same problems.

                            @MN5 it’s not the fact she is a woman, its the fact she is a terrible commentator. But not really surprising that you’re struggling to grasp that…

                                Despite force stopping the app and clearing data, it still shows an error when trying to view the fixtures. Bonesetta said the website is the same, so had to go to PR and she will do from now on. What the fuck are these clowns doing?

                                  Wins for both NZ teams in their second game. The AB7s looked OK against Uruguay but the lack of speed is evident when they get players in space. A big game against SA today.

                                  The BF7s started well against the USA but won't be happy with their 2nd half.

                                    Miller makes a two handed steal, but it's apparently without releasing the player. Aussie refs eh. What a way for Miller to find out she has 3 hands.

                                      Really good by AB7s. Brilliant defence and apart from the last minute or two of the 1st half, really good smarts. Strangled SA into submission.

                                          Mostly just starved of possession and really accurate defence from black I thought.
