USA take sevens very seriously and select/develop real specialists .. GB tend to pick players for sevens who are not quite good enough/too small for the proper game (15 a side)
Trying to get my head around how Bianca Walkden who normally trains with a Girl's night out in Liverpool city centre managed to snatched defeat from Victory when she had 3 seconds of game management to keep her opponent away? I know she couldn't step out the ring but why couldn't she negate her opponent in a second ?
Every decision went against her and I thought she was going to be disqualified as she had 8 penalities with 30 seconds still to go.
Love that, i went down to make brekkie came back when 21-0 and we literally scored as i sat back at my desk. What a comeback!
I feel we have a decent team but make alot of mistakes, i stayed up last night and watched the thrashing by Fiji, we just gifted it too them. Nice to get to the semi now, so far by luck (not sleeping) i have watched every game for GB so far, so exciting its like the basketball version of rugby, been getting quite into it.
I'm so tired this morning from trying to stay up to watch the triathlon. It was rather addictive, however I fell asleep briefly as Flora was in her last lap so missed her cross the line but woke up to see Georgia Taylor-Brown get silver! amazing.
As long as you weren't like the Dutch cyclist who thought she'd won gold!

A great spectacle.

Are they picked from the typical Rugby Premiership / England team?
I switched on with SA 7-0 up and immediately saw an Argentina player sent off.
Argentina go 19-7 up, then concede a penalty try and have another player carded.
19-14 final score.
