Default Commonwealth Games Rugby 7s

Currently watching the final between NZ and South Africa and on the edge of my seat cheering for NZ.

It's going to be close but NZ are up at the moment.

South Africa won the gold

Hahahahaha

I can't wait to see the reaction about this. I suppose they're calling for an inquiry about the referee?

Hazelnut one lost game in 30 and that giving NZ a Silver medal. disappointing ? I don't think so, one hell of a proud achievement for any nation. Just happy to be here sharing it and happy to be living in a country where National pride still reigns supreme.

p.s SA getting one back after our Crusaders gave the Sharks a wake up last Saturday......

Oops, sorry, didn't mean it to come across like that. I was trying to say I felt sad for the team, not in the team, as they seriously played their hearts and muscles out and a couple were close to tears coming off the pitch. To win silver is, of course, a major achievement and I hope they are welcomed back home as the great athletes they are.

The commentary here was overly focused on them being the first NZ team to ever lose a Commonwealth match which felt a bit mean to me.

No I knew exactly what you meant Most Rugby supporters are ex players and just support the game and not the team, we leave that for the soccer peeps As in all walks of life total success brings out total jealousy and people like to see them fail....sad really.

I've never watched it before or even understood what it is. I know the full game and find it a bit too aggressive, heavy and (committing sacrilege ) boring.

The idea of the 15minute game, which is faster with the players being more agile, really captured MrHN and I. Watching so many games in quick succession was much more interesting than a months long league.
