I know we only sing when we're winning, but 12-10 against a South Seas Islands team of any colour is a great result
http://www.irbsevens...resresults.html
for Scotland, anyway, and a tremendous result for the Canadians over Argentina and Russia over Kenya
Some real upsets already
I'm imagining I am there, and later I intend to flush my wallet down the toilet and wake up naked in a public park.
Sevens weekend in HK, eh?
SC
eh? what, officer?

FROM WELLINGTON
Live text commentary feed: MATCH 7: New Zealand v Scotland 15:19 - The crowd is silenced as Scotland end the first half 7-0 up against the hosts. They have never beaten New Zealand in Sevens... ... ... ... and sure enough 15:30 - And they are back on their feet as captain DJ Forbes scores a hat-trick to secure a 29-7 victory against Scotland. The hosts' title defence has begun following Match 7. In other pools, Tonga draw with Wales and beat Fiji more anon.

Hehe no surprise although I wish I'd been there half time. A sweet moment... 55-0! top score for Saturday, and probably the weekend. But sadly, not enough to turn around 29-7 to NZ or 21-14 to Samoa. It reminds me of the last time I was in HK for the Sevens. I sit in the dry stands, so we had popped down to the bar for a few while a dull game was on. Wohoa! the cheer went up; well, it's nice that Japan score against NZ... WOHOA! and suddenly we were all supping up and rushing back up to the stands. Japan were still leading when the final whistle blew, but the All-Blacks had the ball, and went on to score and win; I've nver seen the stadium so excited for a group game, nor so united behind one team, nor such a sigh of inevitable disappointment.... But that is what HK and the Sevens is all about SC #9

Well as I've said often enough, my wallet and my liver voted against going to HK this year, and I didn't want to go without them, so I'm following the scores on the IRB web site - finals are on Star or ESPN tomorrow afternoon (I forget which channel...)
There have been some cracking group games, thanks to the unusual structure of this year's competition China scraping a win over Uruguay early this morning, Portugal coming back from 22-0 down at half time to beat Japan, Zimbabwe holding off Canada to win 24-21, and in their next game scoring a minute after the final whistle to beat the Philippines 21-17, and Scotland scoring in the ninth minute to beat France 14-12. Unfortunately, that won't be enough to see us through to the Cup Quarterfinals, thanks to big losses to Fiji and Australia. SC #10

AND ANOTHER THING!
Has anyone else noticed that the IRB Scotland Sevens has been moved to Scotstoun (capacity 5,000) - OFFS! Where are the spectators going to sit? That'll be scarcely enough for the teams' friends and family! Its nice to have the Scotstoun Stadium, where they take rugby seriously, and its a great venue for the League internationals, and probably a good venue for Glasgow Warriors, if they can't stay at Firhill, but for the IRB World Series? 5,000 capacity? Or will they be putting up temporary stands, like Dubai? I doubt there's anyone from the SRFU follows this thread, but you never know - even dinosaurs need a holiday from time to time... SC |
