    As a South African fan I really take my hat off to the Irish rugby. Their rugby programme is the best in the world without a doubt and I’m sure they will soon get over this Q/final hoodoo. Off to the Semis, may the best team win. It looks like the French are still hurt from the 15’s w/final loss to SA with all that booing.

      If you get a chance to watch the slow motion of the incident, the ref was in line with the contest and deemed it play on. Hence, the TMO doesn't get involved in play knock on.

      Yes, I agree, clear knock-on. Should work a their conversion kicks, all those misses put unnecessary pressure on the team.
      I think Ireland would have been better without Keenan. To me he is the best fullback in 15's but you could see he is not a 7's specialist and I think a specialist could maybe have offered that missing something to carry them over the line.

    Did not expect this from the Blitzbokke. There form lately has really been inconsistent and they tend to make silly mistakes in games that they should be able to win. Maybe the Olympics can make them focus a bit. I watch them have to get through the playoffs in Monaco to get here.
    Our defense in 7's has also always been one of our strengths, but even that has been off lately. So very good to see how we defended in the NZ game.
    There is already a call in SA Rugby to put some time in to get our 7's and women's rugby up to the top again.
    Anything is a bonus at this stage. I am sure we will ge a hostile crowd again as we had in the 1/4 final in the 15's.
    So go Blitzbokke !!!

    • @dreammaker9642
      @dreammaker9642 2 месяца назад

      Blitz boks attack is beyond deadly. They make silly mistakes sure but the thing is as a defense when the other team can counter attack like that it’s pressure. Cause they make mistakes but you know any mistake you make probably means being 5-7 more points behind. Same as the bok side except counter attack in 7s is much harder to counter.

    Sevens is bloody great. NZR and RA should be doing a bunch of work promoting domestic Sevens comps. Aus and NZ are the two markets most impacted by a well-funded rise of the NRL. Sevens is fast and exciting running rugby with a carnival atmosphere that fans and their wallets love. Australia desperately needs a money-earner that gets more people excited about rugby. Sevens is the perfect foreplay for a general sports fan. The more that Sevens is built up, the more freedom the 15s game has to be its tough, tense, grinding self.

    It would be the most South African thing ever to go from being the last placed team who lost 2 pool matches and then go on to win gold. Defending 8 phases on your goal line in 7s is monumental, equivalent to defending 50 on the goal line in 15s
    Also the fiji last try was 100% a knock on however as far as i know its an actual rule in 7s that the tmo can only intervene for very specific things such as being in touch, dropping the ball over the line or foul play. A bit unlucky but thats the game. Also i just wanted to ask where all those irish pundits and fans who were saying ireland won the series because of the 7s match are because they are very quiet right now

    I honestly dont get the fuss around the 7's Olympics. Surely the ultimate in 7's is to win the World Series? If a team is able to keep the ball alive after time is up, play sometimes continues for up to 5 minutes extra, that is 71% of the time of a normal half. Imagine a 15's game continuing for an extra 28 minutes. That just seems dumb as does the 6 man scrum. What is the purpose of that? Is it really worth the sacrifice Hugo Keenan made to play for a few minutes? Dupont barely plays 6 minutes per game? What is the prestige of 7's? Are players like Keenan and Dupont not just hurt by losing the world cup and trying to win something? I just cant get a liking of 7's and I have really tried to.

      Sevens is amazing and fast. The Olympic gold has become more prestigious than any sevens trophy. If you like raw attacking rugby, then sevens is for you. If you are new to rugby, sevens is a great introduction to rugby. You will never see so much side steps in 15s like you do in sevens. So as a South African, I love both formats

    7's predictions are far more difficult than 15 a side. France and Fiji must be favorite to advance, but write the Boks off as underdogs your own peril. The booing crowd might galvanized the Boks yet again. At the RWC I was backing the Boks/France winner to win the Tournament and I am going to back these 2 teams again to win Gold. It will be boring if Fiji won it for a 3rd time.

      They are the best team but showed some serious inconstancy against Ireland. Ireland did commit two errors on start-up kick which put the Fidji back in the game. And that has been their problem this season, they did under-perform many times in key matches after rolling over everybody for 3 matches. But I would be happy for Fidji if they get gold. They deserves some prize and recognition for their contribution to rugby.

    I thought the draw was absolutely shocking, pool stage was a irrelevant really, given South Africa could lose both important games and end up still making the semis, whereas NZ out with 3 wins. Should have been just top 4 into semis, would have put more onus on the pool stage too. NZ and Ireland as the best 1st and 2nd place teams given the worst draws also didn't feel fair.

    Imagine being the rest of the French Sevens or 15s team when all anyone talks about is Dupont. It's getting too the point of being a bit ridiculous now. People talked Lomu and Carter and McCaw up in their respective years but it was always about the team first. Maybe one of the reasons why they were so much more successful than the French. It's the Dupont show, not about the teams at all.

  • @immortal5626
    @immortal5626 2 месяца назад

    Salty Irish fans listen up, it is and always has been the case in 7s that a TMO can only check foul play, touch line and grounding. They are not allowed to check the build up of the try. So knock on or not, that would never ever be checked in 7s.
    Don't blame the ref, blame the laws.

    • @bandanamanknights
      @bandanamanknights 2 месяца назад

      After all the players remonstrations the Ref could have asked the TMO to 'check for foul play' - see the incident on the big screen and then change his call - As a ref you just need to think outside the box at times - TO GET A FAIR RESULT
