[Molehill]

Its on BBC iplayer, you can watch it there, or there are a multitude of sports sites that will provide live text updates for you.

Appreciate you're jilted mate, but stop being a prick about being called out.

Also on Eurosport.

 

[CartyDurham]

Tuned into Eurosport, I’ll stop being an arsehole and post nicely

looks a great crowd attending

are these two teams favoured to go far in this ?

that looks like the winner by Dupont

I see there’s football on Eurosport 1 after that finish in the rugby 7s on Eurosport 2

 

[ripper868]

Haha great moment for Dupont to close that out, secures a shot at Bronze at worst for him.
If they come out with another big first half v RSA, who knows.

Carty, every team left in the tournament was expected to make the quarters, from here on it's pretty much anyones game, with Fiji and South Africa probably the slight favourites.

Thank you

I’ve been watching cricket and tuned in late

French women playing currently and it’s such a shame the Lionesses couldn’t qualify to represent the UK

Eurosport 1 could be a game on now Colombia v France

 

[ripper868]

Some upset this will be if Ireland hold on, they've not had a proper Sevens set-up for a long time.

Fiji though, of course get the ball and score 20 seconds later. Ireland have to work super hard to get metres, Fiji do it easy when they want to.

 

[CartyDurham]

Thought the rugby had finished. Bad injury on Eurosport one with the women’s footbal

Game well and truly on now France v Colombia

 

[Molehill]

Three fabulous QF’s so far. Fiji survive….just. Unlucky Ireland.

Expecting the final QF to be less close…

 

[CartyDurham]

Does the rugby 7s finish this evening ?

 

[ripper868]

Ireland just with no go forward at the end, you can't just go East-West without going forward.
Fiji tried their best to gift it to them with lazy penalties, but the medal matches are better for having Fiji involved.

Now, how badly can Australia blow it v Perry Baker etal.

 

[ripper868]

Does the rugby 7s finish this evening ?

Semis and final tomorrow I think. they played 2 group games yesterday, 1 group game and QFs today.

 

[CartyDurham]

Thank you. I’m intrigued on the woman’s soccer currently

I’ve got the discovery app so that allows for to catch up with everything

 

[shortpitched713]

Doesn't stop the Irish, Scottish and Welsh hating the English when we have done nothing personally to them...

You're the land of the enemy, over 1,000 years! What are you on about!!!

 

[Ali TT]

Sorry, been ill today and in bed so not able to post scores. Looks like I've missed some cracking rugby. Although seeing Australia ten up v the US is a disappointment.

 

[Molehill]

Semis and final tomorrow I think. they played 2 group games yesterday, 1 group game and QFs today.

They’re on Saturday. No events tomorrow as it’s opening ceremony.

It’s worth getting the Olympics app which gives you the timetable for everything.

 

[ripper868]

That makes much more sense.

Comparing this game to the other 3 QF'...this game is a bit of a stinker. Don't see either team causing a problem for Fiji, or France/SA either.

 

[CartyDurham]

Could be a var red card upcoming , caught the French player right down the Achilles area

And it’s a red for serious foul play

the referee announced it to the crowd on a loud speaker , which could be something the premier league might do

turned into a pretty exciting game this one

The Aussies have a decent defence, they cause issues that way. But don’t have the pace of Fiji who you’d think would win.

 

[CartyDurham]

Another one of those games with a lot of added time. 10 mins this time

French women just about held on after cruising at HT

Colombia were reduced to ten which settled the game

 

[Burgey]

Yet another to add to the long list supporting the view:

'There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.'

Not the worst insult I’ve heard directed toward the Dutch tbh

 

[Chubb]

Re the Dutch child *** offender, Sha'Carri Richardson smoked some dope and got banned, but this guy can do one of the most disgusting things a person can do, and still compete.
