Might be no Team GB in Paris due to funding cuts and tensions between the English, Scottish and Welsh governing boards.

Weird, they usually are on (relatively) good terms like in field hockey.

I presume only a combined GB team actually becomes competitive in field hockey. Divide it among home nations and it's a complete wash for Wales & Scotland. Rugby is very much different, Wales & Scotland don't need Team GB to be successful.

And now they are singing some traditional song at the pitch haha!!! 

Those songs the Fijians sing are Christian Hymns!  All the other Pacific nations perform wild pagan war chants: the Fijians sing gospel music.

Oh Fijians are known to throw the pill (ball) around. They play with such flair while we have always been known to be very physical and direct in 7s. That's why I liken them to the Harlem Globetrotters 

That style difference created a great matchup in the final though

Just got a chance to watch the medal matches. Two great matches. I’m very happy to see  win the gold medal once more. Also, hats off to  for their miracle run. Those guys played their hearts out and earned a medal for their effort.
