Shame for Abbie Brown and the others. One bad passing error and a difficult job becomes impossible when losing players to the sin bin.

Felt sorry for the second girl who got carded. Pretty difficult to not try and catch someone when they're jumping into you

Agree...not sure what option she had other than to take a hit.

Think the ref was going to give just a penalty until line judge decided to get involved..... Then by the laws she had to give another yellow.

Ah well, they know they can beat Canada
 
As long as they don't bring the girl with the unfortunate hair loss on - a knock on and three missed tackles as soon as she stepped on the pitch earlier.
 
Half time, NZ now 7-5 up in terms of players on the pitch

GB 7 - 15 the HT score

Oz and NZ are just different class from the rest. Predicted a NZ win from the start as they just looked huge in their all black kit compared with team GB. Unlucky to lose two players on technicalities but would a full 7 have made to much of a difference? Hope NZ win both the men's and women's sevens.
 
We are doing well in the team event in gymnastics. This is an area we have vastly improved in. We never qualified for team events in my youth because we only had a few half decent gymnasts. Now we have real strength in depth.

Fran, my wife is going nuts as she can't find where to watch the gymnastics... Where are you watching it? Which channel?
