Women's Rugby Sevens Tournament at the Summer Olympic Games 2020

[dcro 10,210]

Pretty straightforward final. NZ wins.

By the way, why do they keep playing when the clock expires and the lead is larger than 7 points? It makes no sense.

Apparently this is only the second OG gold for in team sports? (men's field hockey in 1976 was the first).

Straightforward thanks to a very partial reffing. Hard to fight back when pretty much every decision is going the other way. Easy contests given to NZ (albeit not releasing here and there), never to France, offside with no ruck ...

Kudos to the Black Ferns, can't say they don't deserve it, but once again I feel like we were not given the chance to actually win a final.

Im so happy of Fiji 

[Olympian1010 8,070]

This tournament was by far and away the best rugby I’ve seen  women’s team play. They were usually good on defense for a Fijian team of any gender. The only issue they have is ball handling. If they can play like they did and improve that…I wouldn’t want to play them in Paris. 
 

Very happy for for them.
