Rugny Sevens Las Vegas 2012

I switched on the TV last night and happened to catch the final NZ vs Samoa.



Nail Biter finish.

Pretty weird after watching American Football for so long, I kept expecting play to stop everytime somebody made a tackle, or dropped the ball or a long pass, but no. Even when the ref whistled something they restarted so fast you could hardly tell, no pads , no helmets, no video replay to see if someone knee touched ot they full control of the ball, one player had a bloody nose, but they just plugged it so it wasn't streaming and he kept playing.

It was only two ten minute halves, but he whole match only lasted half an hour, no half time show !
