7s Rugby

[OomStruisbaai]

Look pretty good. The format look like changed which make every match tense.

[tabascoboy]

Pre round of 16 men's finished with no surprises, closest match saw Chile edge to a win over Germany. Round of 16 has some equal looking match ups

[clydecloggie]

Women's tournament just started.

Madagascar looked decent for 90 seconds before being blown away by Australia, Poland currently putting up a fight against USA (17-7 to USA HT).

I really like the new straight knock-out format.

England (men) being given a lesson by ireland atm

What a vokkop. They closed off roads so you had to do detours to get to the parking and home. We parked at a friend's house 15 minutes walk from the stadium. What a relief. Other than that it was just so messy driving around town. Poor Gigi my Google maps guide. She had no clue how to get me to the Quarters

[OomStruisbaai]

never knew Korea can play rugby.

[OomStruisbaai]

Quarterfinals coming up shortly
NZ vs Argentina
France vs Aus
Samoa vs Fiji
Blitz vs Ireland

[OomStruisbaai]

I'd say there is 30,000 which isn't that bad. Now let the real 7s start. Good to play against our URC broers.

[OomStruisbaai]

Sheila's to strong for England. Start raining.

[OomStruisbaai]

NZ vs Argentina to start.

Ireland is walking this.

Total lack of coverage in our media about this, even with the extreme lack of sports news due to cancellations. Not to be cynical but it might have been different if England hadn't been knocked out early...

Haven't been able to watch any of it but following the results.

Saffers will be disappointed with Powell and his midgets. They choked heavily like usual.

Thanks, it's on the WorldRugby site too but I haven't had time to try it out

A win for Madagascar, 19 - 12 over Colombia! Only gives them 15th place but must be very satisfying to post a win in your first finals especially as they were expected to be nowhere near qualifying even.

Hmm, Suzie?

Hong Kong suffered a second day of disappointment at the 2022 Rugby World Cup Sevens, losing a tight Bowl semi-final 14-5 to Uganda on Saturday evening – with head coach Paul John revealing several players have suffered from food poisoning in South Africa.

Backs out of the room slowly; this is not going to end well when the WOKE crowd discover it

[assfly]

That final was immense. I'm amazed how our Bok team have always been such big units, but our 7s team has always been quite small. Especially compared to some of those Argentina players.

We nearly threw it away in the 2nd half, but that was some seriously impressive defence. Let's hope they can do it in Cape Town next week.

And also, the women's rugby has really improved. I used to not bother watching it, but the standard is very high now. The hotpants help

[Blake]

Anybody going to the Cape Town Sevens this Saturday?

A bit under the radar

Olympic pools for rugby sevens will be unveiled after the Repechage final once all teams are qualified, together with Paralympic pools for wheelchair rugby

Today marks 50 days to go until the Olympic Games Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony
With 50 days to go until the Olympic Games Paris 2024, World Rugby has today unveiled the official match schedule for the highly anticipated World Rugby Sevens Repechage tournament.

The prestigious event will take place in Monaco from 21-23 June, 2024 and serve as the final qualification tournament for the upcoming Olympic Games Paris 2024.

Stade Louis II in Monaco, which hosted final qualification events prior to the Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, will again provide the stage for deciding the final men’s and women’s qualifiers for Paris 2024.

The competition will feature 12 men's and 12 women's teams vying for the ultimate prize of representing their country on the Olympic stage, with only the winners securing their tickets to Paris.

South Africa’s Blitzboks, strong contenders after winning the first round of HSBC SVNS 2024 in Dubai, will headline the men's competition, which also includes core teams from the HSBC SVNS 2024 circuit Canada, Great Britain, and Spain. The women’s tournament features a wide-open field with Czechia making their Repechage debut.

Participating teams:

Men’s teams: Brazil, Canada, Chile, China, Great Britain, Hong Kong China, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, South Africa, Spain, Tonga, Uganda.
Women’s teams: Argentina, China, Czechia, Hong Kong China, Kenya, Jamaica, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Poland, Samoa, Uganda.

China have qualified as the Womens' teams final qualifier in the Olympic Games repechage by beating Kenya in the final. Poland got the bronze for 3rd place.

A little later South Africa beat Great Britain in the mens' final to win the final qualification place while Spain took the bronze

[assfly]

I hope the 12 fans in the stadium enjoyed it.

FFS I know we need to grow the game, but surely that doesn't equate to playing in empty stadiums?

[tabascoboy]

Well Monaco is hardly off rugby's beaten track either, perhaps geographically it made sense, but they were probably always going to struggle for attention with this.

Anyway, the pools are now decided https://www.world.rugby/news/938141/rug ... ns4wljauma..

GB fail to qualify?

I don't know why they don't just do 4 group of 4 like all the other tournaments. Seems mad that GB won't be there.
