NZ Sevens 2024-25

[Bovidae]

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.

[Bones]

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.

[Bovidae]

We seemed to get the rub of the green from the Fijian ref too. SA lacked any urgency.

QFs:
BF7s v Brazil - 10:26 pm NZT
AB7s v France - 1:10 am

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

The BF7s beat Brazil 31-7 and will play Canada in their SF.

Very sloppy couple of games from the BFs. Can't see them going further if they carry on this form.

Watching Spain v Fiji. Spain impressive in 2nd half.

28-21 with 50s to go.

Now 28-28 after nearly 3 minutes of extra time. Outstanding from Spain

[KiwiMurph]

When are AB 7s going to learn to just take a lead after the halftime hooter.

Same thing as the Aussie pool game

Just get to halftime - instead they concede a needless try (again)

[KiwiMurph]

Same old story by AB 7s

A lack of pace and game management

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph almost coneeded a try to the BBs after the hooter

[Bovidae]

The AB7s have Spain again. They have lost three in a row to them.

[canefan]

That new stadium looks pretty amazing

[Bovidae]

The AB7s put in a very good defensive effort to beat Spain 24-5 in the 5th/6th place game. A couple of dumb plays in the 1st half didn't prove costly. Looking at you, Maka.

The BF7s will play Aust in the Women's final.

[Steven Harris]

@canefan crazy to think its now where the old kaitak airport use to be ,took clients up there in the 1990s to the 7s

[booboo]

I had that as Aussie playing on the deck. .

[NTA]

Ferns have scored more and conceded less this tournament. They'll have a handy win here

[booboo]

Should be 7 all. Nice Risi and Sarah

[booboo]

Indeed 7 all

[booboo]

Aus take Jorga's head off
