Oh no 🤮

Not necessarily, we're assuming that Fiji will hold their form into tomorrow and that France won't find theirs. Both big assumptions. The last round of pool games have the position deciders -   vs  , vs and vs . And that's assuming that don't do something here.

Yeah, unless France beats Fiji but cannot see that happen.

Day -2 and HBO/Eurosport already seems to be using one of those generic commentators for the rugby (the woman, in this case)  

 

"What I love so much about the Olympics, is the stories of resilience of these athletes."

 

Ok, sure....but the stories are the same in their regular circuit events (whether that's World Cups, World Series or some league or another), just not nearly as many people care

Fiji is again on another level. Cant see them losing this tournament.

On the evidence of today, no. On the evidence of the season as a whole, maybe. Fiji have been very inconsistent this year.

Fiji will only lose if teams get physical with them and play very direct. If you let them have too much space, no chance in beating them. Argentina, France, Ireland and NZ are all very physical and these 4 teams have caused them problems for the past olympic cycle.

I've never watched Rugby 7s before, but I had a great time watching  -  ,  -  and  -  today!

 

Incredible idea that  could once again win the whole thing. They're really becoming Olympic icons (tradition even) if they keep this up. I gotta say I enjoyed  as well, hope they medal too!

France looked poor.
