Rugby Sevens

Anyone else think the ball in the rugby sevens looks a little on the large side?

Looks normal to me. Remember they're women so if you don't normally watch women's rugby and are comparing it to how it looks when a guy is holding the ball it will be different.

Not really a fan of the more famous forms of Rugby, but I'm really enjoying the sevens. Great performance from Japan to beat New Zealand and a really good close game between GB and Japan.
 
I thought the women's competition was very good too. Really impressive performance from Australia to beat New Zealand in the final.
 
Never watched 7's before the last few days, but enjoying it a whole lot more than even 6 nations (which is the only other rugby I watch) , just a lot more free / fast flowing.

GB men need at least a draw against the Kiwi's today I think to go through automatically, if they lose (if Im correct) three teams in the group could well end up with 2 wins apeice which might make qualification dicey. Does it go down to points for and against in this case?

Probably wouldnt be a bad result to try and knock out the Kiwi's if we can , as they look really dangerous

It's not surprising. He referred to the men as England in the same sentence as talking about Mark Bennett who is Scottish, Brazil were suddenly Spain yesterday, and one of the female referees was a man in Clive's eyes.

He seems to equate the sevens teams to their fifteen counterparts with how he thinks they should be performing. Australia aren't a bad team but they don't generally compete for the overall World Series title and yet when they beat South Africa, who are often there or thereabouts, he thinks we shouldn't be surprised. France had a strong finish to this season and he seems surprised that they're capable of winning. I could go on, but it's clear to see the man is infuriating me with his commentary!
