The British don't cry, they bury it deep down and surround the pain in love from the Queen.

I had the same feeling. From what I remember she was a beast against Canada in that first match.

Rugby, it is the greatest sport there is, even the 7's version.

The ROI with the women's program is great.


Congrats, Canada really has some world class female rugby players.

One thing I like in Rugby is how the refs interact with the players.

So happy for the women. Missed the game but I am glad they got a medal... was getting tired of some of the 4th place disappointments. Now, let's see if the women's soccer team can medal again this year.

Aussies putting the screws to NZ. 24-5 with under 4 to go.

And they win it 24-17. Got pretty nasty at the end. Hair was pulled, at least a couple punches thrown. Intense stuff.

As a football fan, that's something I don't like in rugby. I can't imagine how many more blowouts there'd be in NFL/CFL if you got the ball again right after scoring a TD. I'm glad they didn't put that in rugby 7 in the Olympics. With 14min games, some teams may have never even touched the ball the entire match!

PopNest won 6-1, 6-4, and they are in the quarters.

Sorry! Got caught in some flooding

Aces, pun totally intended, for PopNest. They've got some great momentum going.
