[QUOTE="captainamerica, post: 52879"] 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: [u][b]BOWL Quarterfinals[/b][/u] Kenya 07 v [b]Scotland 21[/b] [b]Samoa 52[/b] v West indies -- [b]Tonga 55[/b] v Mexico – [b]Uruguay 24[/b] 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. --- [u][b]CUP Quarterfinals[/b][/u] [b]England 19[/b] v Argentina 15 [img]http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/4525/engvarg1hdc3al.jpg[/img] establishing shot: the Home Depot Center facing the west stand. [i]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. [/i] 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. [b]South Africa 26[/b] v Australia 05 [img]http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9236/savaus17bq.jpg[/img] [b]New Zealand 45[/b] v Canada -- [img]http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/363/nzvcan29bk.jpg[/img] [b]Fiji 29[/b] v France 05 [img]http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3504/fijivfra22gp.jpg[/img] --- [u][b]SHIELD Semifinal[/b][/u] [b]Kenya 38 [/b]v West Indies 05 [img]http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/229/kenvwi10qu.jpg[/img] my face started melting so we went to the south stand. Mexico -- v [b]USA 33[/b] 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. [u][b]BOWL Semifinal [/b][/u] [b]Scotland 26[/b] v Samoa 21 [img]http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4359/scovsam15ri.jpg[/img] sitting cool in the west stand now. great match. scots came back. [b]Tonga 45[/b] v Uruguay 07 [img]http://img433.imageshack.us/img433/4359/tongvuru17in.jpg[/img] [u][b]PLATE Semifinal[/b][/u] [b]Argentina 19[/b] v Australia 12 [img]http://img310.imageshack.us/img310/2411/argvaus23yq.jpg[/img] an ugly close match, not a whole lot of running, but solid. Canada 14 v [b]France 20[/b] [img]http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/7829/fravcan11zl.jpg[/img] heartbreaker. (only cause i was sat next to a nice guy who was from 'up there') [u][b]CUP Semifinal[/b][/u] [b]England 40[/b] v South Africa -- [img]http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/3716/engvsa14hf.jpg[/img] 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 [b]Fiji 22[/b] [img]http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/1830/fijivnz10sm.jpg[/img] nz try [img]http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/1766/fijivnz37pu.jpg[/img] fiji break this one went into extra time, with fiji dotting down a sudden death try. tight match, great stuff. and now, the [b]finals[/b]. will be in the next post . . .
