[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Well done USA.

Good god Woodward is an irritant.

Good god Woodward is an irritant.

Hopefully he goes for a swim in the rowing lake and they have to fly in a sickness replacement for the Mens tourno

 

[ncurd]

Gutting for mens gymnasts.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Christ, we're playing really badly

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

FFS all going wrong for GB ATM in rugby and gymnastics.

 

[ratsapprentice]

One of the big differences I've noticed is the ability (or lack thereof) to offload, there are so many times where you see opportunities that would be meat and drink in the men's game not taken.

So clinical yesterday and today making a horlicks of everything. Wrong bloody day to peak.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

How many of the other sides are 7s specialists?
Ours is all XVs players who've taken it up for the season - is that the norm?
Kicking and tackling is grand, but they're not necessarily playing 7s

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

I think aussie are more 7's, NZ is similar to us.

Canada i think might be more sevens along with USA (I think).

too many of our XV's players play 7's like it's XV's.

 

[ncurd]

C'mon don't dick around with the conversion!

 

[ratsapprentice]

I think Aus benefit from having the worlds most established mixed touch setup.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

This ref is useless

 

[ncurd]

Horlicks.

Well that's 20 mins I don't want to watch again. More gutting than the fencing yesterday.

 

[LeinsterMan (NotTigsMan)]

Oh FFS.

This bloody sport.

How many penalties have Canada given away.

 

[TRF_Olyy]

Our players look so much slower than theirs.
I mean our wingers are quick but the other 5 look a step down

 

[Every Time Ref]

Don't watch much 7s so don't know the convention but surely Canada should've had a yellow?

Outplayed us and thoroughly deserved the win though

 

[ncurd]

Feel gutted for the girls this is a team they trounced yesterday.

However it has inspired me to watch more 7s or even just women's rugby.

Yeh 7's are usually tightarses when it comes to breakdown penalties, that many would of meant at least 2 really.

Fortunately our funding is with the RFU so it won't be affected with getting not getting a medal.

Fair play... GB played better yesterday, but were poor on the first day and today.
