Added: 2026-05-30

[00:00:09]Turner. Oh, what a turn of pace and step and footwork. It's excellent from James Turner. Peeling off meters. Australia hard on attack with numbers wide with long bottom. Just going through the hands and on the end of the chain is the skipper out on the wing. Henry Hutcherson opens Australia's scoring.

[00:00:26]>> Well, that is tidy indeed. And the finish from Henry Hutcherson. Easy from Hutch on the width, but how about the feet and the meandering run, the change of direction. Good luck getting a hand on him.

[00:00:37]>> Back it comes for Kevin in a change attack here. Looking for the speed to bear down on this one. It is a foot race that is going to be won by Patrick Adongo. He is absolutely lightning. His football skills are superb. And that is a cracking try for Kenya and Patrick Adongo.

[00:00:57]>> Wow. Oh, we see him open up >> up towards the 22 again. Kenya have been hard on defense pre this extra time and now it might be there FOR DIETRICH ROACH TO WIN IT FOR AUSTRALIA.

[00:01:10]Dietrich Roach, one of Australia's leading scorers, has come up with the play when they needed it. A sapping sapping win 1510.

[00:01:20]Back it comes again. Oh, there's a little dummy. Or in fact, it was a big dummy. And all the South Africans board it as Frostwick steams up field. Cover defense comes across from Ryan Tasen.

[00:01:30]But Great Britain surge into South African territory. Away comes Charlton Kerr while he was laying down the Lord to his team at the start and Great Britain have gone end to end to open the scoring and Charlton Kerr.

[00:01:45]>> Wow. Superb work from Charlton Ker with the finish. It needed some doing. The skipper steps up to give him the lead.

[00:01:55]>> Davids away they come. South Africa putting on another toe. They love that kick in behind. Is the ball going to beat the play? It's going to sit up perfectly. Oh, what execution it is from South Africa. And Sebastian Jobs steaming down.

[00:02:10]>> Great exe execution.

[00:02:13]>> I mean it really is. The attention to detail >> and the way they pull this off is brilliant.

[00:02:22]Need a converted try to tie this up with 30 seconds to play. Put it on the toe.

[00:02:26]There's head and plenty of space in behind. Curing down on it. South Africa LOOKING TO GET BACK. OH, HIT THE POST ON THE WAY THROUGH.

[00:02:35]And Great Britain and Ben Salmon have gone in under the post. Conversion to tie it up from Henry on Roach. It's a little untidy for Ben Dling. And now Hutcherson's got the hole up the middle just taking it upon himself. Australia's skipper.

[00:02:54]He is the ultimate competitor, Henry Hutcherson. And they've had to work for this one to get on the board. Australia.

[00:03:00]>> Well, they needed that. They were struggling to make inroads against a very organized GB defense.

[00:03:07]>> Concerted period with ball in hand. And this is a great surge up field. is taking it upon himself with the speed that he has. Fin Lloyd Gilmore, one of the leading try scorers in Hong Kong and he's busted Australia open here.

[00:03:26]Full weight behind that one. Here's Turner again. G's been good in this game. There's James Turner. And away he goes to perhaps ice it. It's another big strike from Australia and for James Turner.

[00:03:42]He has scored two superb tries in this one. The individual effort here.

[00:03:48]>> He gets the overchase. Steps inside.

[00:03:52]>> Intercept. Oh, Reddit. Shelton Vanvake.

[00:03:56]He was so quick onto that.

[00:03:59]He is having some season. Shelton Vanvake. And he breaks open the scoring here with six against the number one seeds. Ricardo Dwati out there too for South Africa. Crossfield kick. There's a lot of open territory and it's worked like an absolute perfection again into the bread basket for Sebastian Job. That is precise and clinical. Skillful from South Africa >> to be able to execute that though. They obviously caught it from the get-go.

[00:04:28]He squeeze in the middle and then the kick pass. Look at that. Beautifully executed. Doesn't get much better. Gives them acres of time to catch it.

[00:04:38]And in pool A. That's good news for Great Britain because they've got two losing bonus points. So, they could have a chance of going through as a best third place finisher. South Africa and Australia, two wins. They'll be playing cup quarterfinal rugby tomorrow afternoon.

[00:04:56]A bit of movement and they go up. Clean possession.

[00:05:00]Tour pass.

[00:05:02]>> Nowhere to go for Amaya. He just gets out of his dead ball area. The ball's on the ground. This is going to be a gift for New Zealand. And they've cashed in first try.

[00:05:14]>> Kitio Nevi the one to react quicker. It was great defense. It was a dusty old pass from the half.

[00:05:21]>> Tough to take but they did pretty well.

[00:05:23]This is a good carry. Here they go. Set piece straight from the training pitch.

[00:05:27]There's the kick through.

[00:05:28]>> They get a bounce off a Uruguayan body.

[00:05:30]Going to need a second touch there from Malia. The skipper shows great footballing skills in the football stadium and gets New Zealand's third try. But again, it's McGabby Black who's just pulling the strings at the moment.

[00:05:42]>> That options >> outside wide, but I like the variation on the kick. Extra set of hands out there, but New Zealand does well TO SCRAMBLE ACROSS. AND NOW THE interception into space. Great awareness from Kelly Lasanga. He's going to go all the way to the corner and continues the New Zealand scoring run here in Spain.

[00:06:02]>> Well, defensively, this is absolutely brilliant from New Zealand. Just getting in the passing lanes. want teams to throw that long pass over the top cuz it buys you time. They've just done that.

[00:06:11]Look at Lunga just reading the fourth man and that is brilliant from him >> to be able to come.

[00:06:17]>> Carries through the middle. Good positive start from Germany dancing on his toes is Vale offload. Oh, the inside BALL AND VALE'S GOING TO get there.

[00:06:27]Germany with a shocker here in the first minute. Put up a try on Argentina. Well, it started from their launch play, didn't it?

[00:06:36]They worked it well.

[00:06:39]>> Oh, good movement, but a good read up the middle. Breaking it up was Graatiano.

[00:06:47]>> Argentina reaping the wards now. Jeremy just falling off a few tackles. And the pinch there means the moneyman. Marcos Moneta. He's in for his 32nd try of the season.

[00:06:59]>> Well, Germany went back to the well once too many times. They ran the same move from the restart. Yeah, Uncle Stoked.

[00:07:06]>> Good desperation tackle on Batak.

[00:07:10]Extra set of hands. Good inside support, but there's the offload. And the big man, Santiago Alvarez, the skipper, was waiting for it. And he extends Argentina's lead.

[00:07:22]Oh, very patient, very precise from Argentina in their attack. So good. When width to width, and it was the third time they come across the field, they found the dent in the German defense.

[00:07:35]Now an opportunity on the edge of Releman. Scoops it back inside for Bennett Vale. That was really nicely done for Cedric Ice Hulks who is going to score Germany 7's first ever try against New Zealand.

[00:07:52]Kick make it a one-sore game.

[00:07:55]Now Vi taps and goes quick up over halfway. Kitty on a VI. What an engine.

[00:08:03]drops a gear and heads for home. Oh, awkward slip at the end having been out of the program for a year. Rocka seven on six in New Zealand on the power play looking for a try.

[00:08:14]>> 21-7 they lead it. Long ball over to the far side and it'll be Rodri Solo who will score for New Zealand.

[00:08:29]>> That's a gift for Rodrio in the end.

[00:08:32]Gonzalez in midfield.

[00:08:34]>> Had Sa to his right, but he goes back the other way. Does Luchiano Gonzalez, he is so difficult to put down and Adata picks it up and scores for Los Pulum. And they reached the Hong Kong final last time out. They were defending champions there. Beaten by South Africa.

[00:08:55]Won their first ever Hong Kong title.

[00:08:57]Gonzalez has seen a loose ball. He's onto it. He picks it up. Absolutely brilliantly.

[00:09:03]Luciano Gonzalez fingertip stuff.

[00:09:12]Brilliant try. We talk about his supreme power, but this was superb skill all the way through. Mocked up the the blood bin and inside ball again to Sebastian Dub.

[00:09:28]That's that's Los Pulma Sevens doing their best stuff there. The way they created that try, found the opportunity.

[00:09:39]Full B men's competition. New Zealand and Argentina look well set for quarterfinals with two wins from their two games. Germany and Uruguay yet to pick up even a losing bonus point out of pool B.

[00:09:54]Here's our in midfield to Yeram Fal back in front. Sevens colors and he works the fend and he works it powerfully. Does Yeram f cl his club in France gets their opening try. Vadolid >> young 22y old getting another chance with Leblau.

[00:10:16]>> In midfield is Naongo. Long ball to Talifollo, the longest levers in the sport. And there's an offload over the shoulder to Nandu Valo. That is absolutely filthy from Josepha Talifollo to Nandu Valo.

[00:10:36]>> The big man Talato with all the tricks out the back door. Two French men wrapped around him, but he's tall enough to have both hands free.

[00:10:45]>> He's got Talitho to his left. That hitch kick from Ambos and then the casual offload over the shoulder. The Talifello. There's another one. Oh, here come Fiji again. This is marvelous to watch. Ambos in the corner. That is how you do it, people. The flying Fijians keeping the ball alive. It's what they came to see.

[00:11:05]>> It's their ability to spot the space, but they stay calm once they get into it, and that's what separates them from the rest.

[00:11:11]>> Moreno, Mano Moreno had a big Hong Kong sevens. He offloads the Ramos nicely.

[00:11:16]They're looking in business here. A Spain crowd are on their feet. Monte is under the bar.

[00:11:25]Spain had their first try in Viadolid.

[00:11:30]Same Meka. The fans are loving this one.

[00:11:34]>> Lamp bit more of a footwork man.

[00:11:37]Thomasine long ball over the top to Orin Bitser. Or pitcher gets away from one and another and bits away again. He's going to run 70 meters here. Tracking back his TV for Spain, but Bitser sees him in the rear view mirror and just hammers it down for the last 10 m and puts the USA back in front. Bitser is having a big one. Leabortu sets it up in midfield. Final play this.

[00:12:10]Spanish fans in the house WANTING TO SEE THEIR TEAM GET A RESULT. ANGEL BALVAL WILL WIN IT FOR SPAIN.

[00:12:20]Vamos Los Leon.

[00:12:23]What a win on home turf to get your Bayador League tournament started.

[00:12:28]>> It's going to be a tap play.

[00:12:30]>> Huge moment for USA men's sevens eagles.

[00:12:34]Stevie Thomas kicks. Here's the set play. It's for Orin Bitser and he dots it down for the USA. Well, there's the play.

[00:12:44]That was the plan. And yeah, well executed. Can't afford to give away a runaway here, but that's exactly what is going to happen cuz Felipe Salanga will take it 80 plus meters to put Fiji back in front. It could have been oh so different. Velawa, you got to watch him through the middle. Terry Velawa. Look at those feets. Dazzling in Vaya. Terry Velawa. Two scores clear now. He'll give it to Tanivan for the gift.

[00:13:24]>> Look at these feet. Nearly impossible to defend.

[00:13:30]>> He sends Santos into the stands.

[00:13:34]Foul gets it away to Rebash.

[00:13:37]>> Reva.

[00:13:39]Reva commits a couple of defenders.

[00:13:41]Gives it to Simon Desair who has so much pace that he will score the first try of this match for France. And a good try it was too. That's number 30 all time for Desair. Now France come away with it.

[00:13:55]Desair. Simon Desair. He's pulled a hammy. Desair's pulled a hammy. He needs support. He's got Rabash. It's not over yet or it will be now. Rayan Rabash will run it in for France.

[00:14:12]Deary deary me. And now Bolinz has an opportunity. Enrique Bolichz could tackle Leno. 4 meters out. Ramos back to Ses. He created it all. And Kosuella at pace scores Spain's first.

[00:14:29]back in it.

[00:14:31]>> Spain have brought the energy that they need in order to get back into this game. It's Belinez who's shown a bit of speed.

[00:14:42]All teams have played two matches here in V lead. And here's the state of the men's pool C. It's captivating. It'll go all the way. Fiji looking good two from two. They can look ahead to quarterfinals. But who joins them? Well, it's anyone's guess. Spain and France could possibly also go through from this group, but the USA are hanging by a thread in pool C.
