[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 774576, member: 59145"] Watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it, I only really watch the Blitzbokke and usually the semi's and finals so I don't know that much about the other teams though. Still the best way to get a non-rugby fan into the game in my opinion. USA playing better can only be a good thing for world rugby. Fiji seem to have brought there dominance from the end of last year forward and are going to be very difficult to beat. I do think the break-down is being reffed poorly in sevens at the moment, just inconsistent and pretty arbitrary I feel the refs are just guessing a lot of the time. On the blitzbokke: We looked a bit rusty but I still think we'll be one of the strongest teams in the competition this year. Hougard seems to have fit in nicely but I'm slightly less sure of de Jong, also concerns over Kok and Africa's injuries, without them we are not the same team at all. Anyway I'll be going to the next competition in Cape Town so I'm pretty stoked, apparently Greenpoint stadium is sold out for both days (55k capacity) which is pretty bonkers for sevens. Edit: [USER=49064]@Conrad[/USER], I do prefer 15s and 7s is a more casual game (a bit like 20 overs cricket which I can't stand) but it's better than no rugby. [/QUOTE]
