Sydney 7's 2020

[Adam84]

Watching the mens now, just silly play from them at times..

Miller made a break, had a man in support he could off-load to, decided to take the tackle, poor clear out from the support runners and then Scotland manage to pinch the ball and Australia are penalised..

 

[Adam84]

Silly play continues.. Hutchinson yellow carded for head high tackle. Josh Turner yellow carded for intentional knock down.

 

[Adam84]

Maurice Longbottom scores individual try with Australia down a man

 

[Adam84]

so many penalties against Australia.. making life hard for themselves

 

[Adam84]

using long bottom as a super-sub seems to be working well, protect him from the onslaught in the first half, and use him against tired players in the second

 

[Brumby Runner]

It reached a max of 46C at 2pm.

ONLY 43C now.

It's insane 38 degrees at Baulkham Hills at 8 o'clock and it felt relatively cooler after hitting 47 during the afternoon.

Aus men will play either NZ for 5th or SA in a semi, (I think).

The women? Well, they really need to win their last pool game against la frogge.

 

[Adam84]

Australian men losing the restarts, and USA capitalising

Women's SF:

Canada v Australia 15:36 AEST
NZ v France 15:58

Last night NZ had a poor half v Fiji & since there's no QF they're playing for fifth unless Wales beat Fiji which lets face it ain't gunna happen. The fact that every other Leg of this Series bar Hamilton, not to mention EVERY Leg of EVERY previous Series EVER had QF just makes the decision to not have them for these two Legs even more ridiculous.

 

[Adam84]

The restart has killed the Aussie men, lost the ball on 3 restarts and all lead to US tries

They're getting smoked.

Out-competed for the ball.

And bashed.

 

[Adam84]

Piss performance from the men, poor execution just handing the USA the ball, there goes their chance of making the finals

 

[Show-n-go]

Crowds look absolutely shocking, they’ll get away with blaming the weather. I thought moving it to parra was a big mistake, shame we aren’t going to see a real indication of how popular the decision was

 

[kiap]

One thing with recent tournaments is tackles, no release and it's a melee free-for-all.

US far too good against the Aussies. Big match up against the Saffers for them coming up.

Where else would they have gone - Sydney Showground?

Shoulda brought it to Perth. 27 degrees yesterday and 33 today.

Yes Sydney Showground or given it to Brisbane/Perth/Melb

And I made this comment before they let in 2 more tries...

Shit attitude, they capitulated in the end..

 

[I like to watch]

^^^^^Bit harsh IMO.
7s can go like that.
we were just about out of the game before we ever touched the ball.
yanks have the best restarts in the comp IMO.
thought 2.75 on USA was overs
