greetings trf,
thought i'd share some crap that i took yesterday from day 2 of the sevens.
was a gorgeous day in los angeles and i saw some great rugby.
apparently this happened before i arrived:
BOWL Quarterfinals
Kenya 07 v Scotland 21
Samoa 52 v West indies --
Tonga 55 v Mexico â€"
Uruguay 24 v USA 19
well, i arrived at the kickoff of the uruguay v usa match, and, not taking anything away from uruguay, the usa reinvented dogshit in terms of rugby. near enough all day. very disappointing, even for a young team.
maybe if guns weren't so prevalent in this country, our team might just stop shooting themselves in the foot at any given chance.

CUP Quarterfinals
England 19 v Argentina 15
establishing shot: the Home Depot Center facing the west stand.
a truly fantastic venue, not a bad seat in the house (27,000). no idea as to how many were there yesterday, but definitely a good crowd throughout the day.
everyone moving around to avoid roasting in the sun. outstanding atmosphere, mostly populated with islanders.
argies on the attack in a really close match. they would have won had england not held them up in the tryzone when the last hooter cacked off.
South Africa 26 v Australia 05
New Zealand 45 v Canada --
Fiji 29 v France 05

SHIELD Semifinal
Kenya 38 v West Indies 05
my face started melting so we went to the south stand.
Mexico -- v USA 33
no photos.
not an entirely solid display by the usa but we got the result. todd clever should have been shown a red card for swinging at all things mexican at a ruck. then again, i thought he played like a thug all day.
we need a game plan, one that involves a plan.
BOWL Semifinal
Scotland 26 v Samoa 21
sitting cool in the west stand now.
great match. scots came back.
Tonga 45 v Uruguay 07
PLATE Semifinal
Argentina 19 v Australia 12
an ugly close match, not a whole lot of running, but solid.
Canada 14 v France 20
heartbreaker. (only cause i was sat next to a nice guy who was from 'up there')
CUP Semifinal
England 40 v South Africa --
was also sat next to a cool south african. we both were in shock.
this is when we thought, "maybe england actually came to play"
New Zealand 17 v Fiji 22
nz try
fiji break
this one went into extra time, with fiji dotting down a sudden death try. tight match, great stuff.
and now, the finals.
will be in the next post . . .
