2014 Commonwealth Games 7's (26&27/07/14)

Bryan Habana joined South Africa's Commonwealth Games sevens team as a reserve after a late release from Toulon.

btw Fiji could not compete
What a pity

The rumour is that Habana is playing - presumably that requires someone to pull out with an "injury".

Someone accidentally-on-purpose kicked the leg of the breakfast table?

I like how the Welsh team didn't feel like making a new kit for the games, and just stuck a "Team Wales" logo over the WRU one...which promptly fell off so they might as well not have bothered

 

[Thingimubob]

Canada rack up 68 points on Barbados... Can see a new record coming from when they face NZ...

I must say Ibrox looks beautiful today. I have really enjoyed these games so far.

 

[bakakumon]

New Zealand infringe twice and see two men dispatched to the sin bin.

Scotland cross for a try to cut the All Black lead to 17-14.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Good crowd at Ibrox - not full (yet?) but very vocal and really getting behind the sides.
Went absolutely mental when Sri Lanka got their try vs Australia - same during the Cook Islands v Trinidad and Tobago match.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Good to see the BBC really pushing the 7s as a marquee event.

Should be there at Ibrox tomorrow evening (work permitting). For now though enjoying it on TV. Waiting for the all important Scotland v Canada game.

Good crowd at Ibrox - not full (yet?) but very vocal and really getting behind the sides.

It's a 56,000 seater stadium, and apparently they've sold 100,000 tickets today to cover the two periods of games. Not a bad showing by any means.

that was a really good game. scotland will far in the tournament im sure off it

 

[ratsapprentice]

That was an awful game for England - they are a different team without Mitchell.

 

[Darwin]

So the Quarters are as follows:

New Zealand vs Kenya
Australia vs Wales
Samoa vs England
South Africa vs Scotland

Scotland certainly gave NZ a bit of a shock, but a close game like that wont hurt NZ at all. Looking forward to the playoffs...

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Yeah, far from ideal.
We've looked terrible and then turned it around in a weekend in the past, hopefully that's the case here. Samoa looked pretty good against Wales, though.

I didn't realise they'd been suspended. For some reason (probably a combination of alcohol and late night) I assumed they weren't a member.

 

[LittleGuy]

Dissapointed with Canada, but missing Mack and Dala was pretty huge. We should win the lower tier competitions tommorow and easily.

 

[Darwin]

NZ far from convincing winning their quarter final vs Kenya. Wales with a big lead over Australia at half-time in the 2nd quarter-final - it will be interesting to see whether they can hold on..

 

[Rich Taff]

What a f*cking surprise. Last second try by Australia. Never seen that before.

 

[Darwin]

What a f*cking surprise. Last second try by Australia. Never seen that before.

Wales blew that match. They completely butchered a try with only a minute left which would have sealed it for them, then allowed Australia to march 100m up the field and score.
