HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series - Paris
The final squads of 12 have been named by the 16 coaches ahead of the HSBC Paris Sevens, the penultimate round of the series. 3 days of Sevens rugby kicks off at teatime this evening.

:france: Video Hub Live coverage looks good.

Current Referee grade:
Select Grade
Couldn't find a live streaming video link.

Samoa coming backwith 4 unanswered tries against Fiji is astonishing.

USA looked dismal. They are fading. No discipline and error prone. Argies & France crushed them.

Great result.
Live stream wasn't available in France either. Full Match Replay will be up early tomorrow. Certainly worth the wait. ( Special thanks to Canal+ for taking rugby away from the faithful supporters and offering it to a paying public, who didn't even watch the game. Nice one, how does that make commercial sense?)

Live radio was available here, getting used to "watching" my rugby on the radio these days. Love the reaction from Kiwi Referee, Richard Kelly, as a Samoan player tries to hug him at the final whistle. It's like "Steady on!" pushing him back and then simply shaking the player's hand.

Le Manu! (Robbie we definitely need a Samoan flag, perhaps you can replace the Russian one with it.)

Incidentally they had the same referee for their pool decider match. Very different result though 42 - 5 (match 20) to Fiji :fiji:
