I cannot wait for this.... Just got FirstBornMoose hooked onto the game now....so she and I shall be watching, The English arrive from the Cape Colony sometime during the afternoon, must make a mental note to ignore the old man, as he is an ex soccer ref who thinks he knows the rules of normal rugger let alone 7's, so no doubt he will spend the time shouting at the poor ref and telling me that the ref is wrong.... Sigh!

 

[greg0205]

Not a bad group so it looks like an England QF game... Boys looked really good in Dubai, holding thumbs for a local win and top spot in the standings.

Don't write off Samoa ...

 

[greg0205]

Don't write off Samoa ...

True that... Pool D is a pretty tough one except for Japan, for them it's utterly impossible.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

Cecil Afrika is on the brink of becoming the top SA point scorer in Sevens.

 

[MickeyD]

Am walking down to the stadium... will need a lift home!

I can give you a lift but you'll probably have to hang around a bit.

 

[MickeyD]

I can give you a lift but you'll probably have to hang around a bit.

Thanks... Will depend on my condition!

 

[Mortymoose]

Wonder how many tickets sold? Will the SA crowd in PE be as festive as some of the other inernational venues?

Last count I had was 45000 sold by yesterday.

And yeah, it's usually a pretty festive crowd.

 

[Mortymoose]

Looks festive, but not 45 ooo patrons...

How was the dick in the US game? Ruined it a bit, loved the way the camera zoomed out of the field...but I still saw the yankee give him a pudding kick....idiot deserved it...

For what it's worth , FirstBornMoose and I , we be enjoying it.... Eish! Those people down in the Windy City were knocking back the draughts at 11h12 already.....Moose's kinda town!

50 000 tickets sold over the 2 days. Plenty going on around the stadium and the fans take their seats for specific games.

Hope bwana got that snap of Senatla scoring in front of him!!
