    Yes, I saw the last few points of that one - a lot of men wincing at that.

    The celebrating was ridiculous, given how many times they were wrong.

    Sorry, yes - I meant that 3pts may not be seen as a hindrance to get through a group, so they went for a higher penalty.

    Just watched a bit of fencing. Almost impossible to tell when right-of-way/priority applies. Interesting watching a France vs China final basically stand passively for the last 90 seconds with the scores even, meaning extra time and a toss of a coin as to had to attack.

    It seems at least in part a warning to anyone considering it in the future - Canada might still sneak through, and a 3 pt penalty may not be too much. I wonder for the players if they watched the video or had it described "the other lot do this and this...".

    Unfortunately, other countries have caught Fiji up in many ways. The professional sevens circuit means a lot more teams than just Fiji and New Zealand. There's only so much you can do against a side who don't give space to attack - giving penalties appears to be as valid a tactic as in the XV game.

    France deserved that - Fiji haven't been near the France line this half. DuPont is some player - he'll be President by Monday, if he wants!

    Yeah, a few minor tweaks of application - shorter advantages, 30 seconds to kick goals..

    Off to a great start too. The bronze medal match was good too.

    Cracking, wasn't it? Giving everything, and it was generous of him to look a little tired by 2h 45 in!

    Doesn't time run in favour of chaos? The electors cast their votes in early January, but it's only 2 weeks before Biden automatically ceases to be President. I wonder what is brewing in terms of vote rigging in the actual national vote stage.

    I think there will be a fair amount of baiting and goading still to come.

    So, since Sunday, he's withdrawn, demanded the debate be moved to Fox, said he'd do multiple debates and is now backing out? Must be quite difficult being in his admin staff!

    He doesn't much like Trump though, and is entertaining in how he displays it.
