    I always love that clip. Can you imagine how big his eyes must have gotten when he saw that crash and he realised he was going to cruise to that win.

    Especially considering it won him the gold, and he was an Aussie in his home Olympics.

    Exactly. If he didn't say 'holy **** I'm winning this bastard' when they fell I would be disappointed by him

    Nah.

    England are actually good at rugby. Put the footballers to shame.

    Or so the puffby lot would have you believe.

    We've taken silver in the Rugby Sevens, lost to the tournament favourites Fiji, who've won their first ever medal in their history.

    Well done lads for getting further than anyone expected, well done to Fiji too, they absolutely deserved it.

    Its no surprise that scoreline.
    Im more surprised that we got to the final.
    Fiji won the last two 7s world series titles and England dont often get to the finals
