NAA fow gets us underway USA Eagles running right to left over the top of Williams and it’ll go over the sideline it’ll be a USA throw to the line out to get us started not a great start by GB there you really need to be taking that that simple skills from the
Kickoff maybe just a bit of nerves it is a quarterfinal giving the ball straight to USA here USA looking to end a four game cup quarterfinal losing streak fow really good hands cuz the pass to eale was awkward but it did go forward did well just to hold on to it
Yeah USA have had a lot of errors in the last couple of matches they’ve made the most of any team with 10 and here’s an easy one just giving it straight away back to GB probably a bit of nerves on both sides here rbert they both just need to calm
Down and focus under their game plan well it’s so important isn’t it you’re looking at the eighth rank side against the 12th rank side but but only only seven points can continue separate these two teams overall it is watertight razor sharp in terms of staying in the top
Eight after seven events of course the top eight will play off for the title in Madrid the bottom four will go through to the relegation playoff of Madrid so there’s just so much a stake in every game especially when you’re in the high point section cup quarterfinal time at
The end of tournaments but also GB are sitting in 12 and vital points for them to bring them up off that bot bottom spot that’s not where you want to be and USA are just touching on it as well they just two points ahead of Samoa who come
Up next there’s the points available maximum 20 once you’re in this top eight graphic and of course maximum four if you miss out in the cup quarterfinals so you get rewarded big time to making into the Big Show here’s Harry Glover running into ezale for Great Britain
Morgan Williams to Alex Davis now Tom Emory leading Tri scorer for GB on the Series this year he’s wrapped up by fow Perry Baker working the Counterattack there’s Austin Emmons now Ethan wlon to the skipper Robbie Ferguson opposite Captain Kon Williams going for the steel wins it leave the
Ball see Robbie Ferguson just fell on his back there and USA capitalized on the poor position you need to work your body around and get the ball back towards your own side it’s easier said than done now but you’ll watch here he falls on his back that’s not what you
Want to do you’re like a flip turtle and USA just pounce on that ball and you’re caught so what what are you as players told in that situation not to do you need to fall with the momentum and get your body turned use your core to flip
Your head back towards your own team so they can come over alongside you and get that ball back and moving it that’s great Insight from Olympian Greg o here expert comments in this cup quarterfinal as K Williams prepares to feed it a little look over the shoulder there in
The direction of the bench Mike Friday looking on stand go he’s got the beanie on pretty cool inside uh BC Place Friday USA head coach come on sit not many to know more about this game than him vage get it out to F out of the USA still no score in
This cup quarterfinal another decision offside this time now they are the second most penalized team at the tournament they had 15 coming in GB so disappoint an issue for yeah you can’t be giving away penalties in knockout rugby I think they’re giving away five per game at Vancouver sevens you can’t
Just be turning over the ball five times at a elite level cuz this is going to happen you’re going to get put back into your zone I’m sure Steve thas has something to say about this yeah out of San Diego State here’s N fuao Out Of Life West University that
Throws the line out there is Thomasson slightly high arm on him from Morgan Williams they got to be careful here JB they only give away any more penalties but they get the decision this time how about Robbie Ferguson turning up they want to go quickly Alex Davis so often
You see that you got to go behind the mark precisely bit of a clunky start for us here in the first quarterfinal both teams just feeling it out a couple of Errors a couple of penalties conceded hopefully we can get a flowing game here you had a tight match in Perth
As well corresponding fixure last tournament 1710 USA won that yeah what is it USA got their big guns back Malachi is though getting of attention there the likes of Thomas and Baker Williams they got them out of the relegation Zone into the top p alak is there changing a contact
Lens how difficult is that rer do you wear contacts no I don’t I wear glasses I mean I couldn’t even understand wearing them at and changing them in the middle of a rugby game at least there’s no rain to deal with Bird’s ey you the birds been called with the hood [Applause]
Up here come GB all business Glover half break from him good run there’s Alex Davis quick reload for Emory nice ball to Ferguson little double step there still going Robbie Ferguson Fu now works the steel and he wins it again the same penalty from Roy Robbie Ferguson he’s just driving through he’s
Getting serious meters which is incredible but just needs to get that ball back Cummings over to esdale who’s been outstanding this weekend for Team USA he might need Baker Emmons is on the chase now esdale swings it out to the corner that’s absolute crackerjack from Malachi
Esdale to open the scoring in the cup quarterfinal very impressive from Malachi esale right there showing a clean pair of heels goes inside Harry Glover says see you later to wlon and then Austin Emmons I thought he would have caught him but it’s actually a lot of intelligence to look back see where
The chasing Defender is move your line move your direction buy yourself a few meters and get the five pointer the Big H from Perry the USA fans in the house enjoyed that there’s plenty of them they don’t get the extra two from Thomasson so it remains 5 nothing but
That’s his fourth try of the weekend one of these players that Mike Friday’s brought through the system originally discovered at the Rugby Town sevens eagles everywhere another penalty against GB holding on is the call Morgan Williams this time there’s Cummings goes quickly fo out tries to step away from memory n f Kavon
Williams good hands there from asdale he’s had a couple of awkward balls to deal with his Perry Baker now he can just back his pace and he’s too quick for Glover Perry Baker’s come up with some big scores already this weekend and there’s another one in the
Cup quarter that is gorgeous out of Perry Baker he’s gliding across the ground he just makes it looks so easy and this is not easy gets a little step and it can straight up into top speed nobody can live with that Pace it’s 273 career tries for us by number 11 Baker good the USA 10 no conversion again so remains 10 10 nothing but a good start from the USA in the cup quarterfinal 10-0 over GB as Well that restart hasn’t gone the 10 so free Kick USA right in the middle of the park can’t choose a scrum here you choose to yeah you probably would a center field tap or scrum they seem to have gone for the scrum pull them in which will leave space for the likes of
Perry Baker on the outside that’s what’s coming up Argentina up next who’ve been near unbeatable of late there up against s Argentina on a five game win streak against New Zealand Fiji then on the other side that’s a a game that used to be automatic Cup finals more often than not
Gr loads of great action I love these quarterfinals best two hours in rugby sevens men or women’s absolutely brilliant a tight game here between USA and GB just 10 they lead a fo out to Williams and the captain unusual to see him make an error like that fo outed so well there picked
It up off the base as scrum half and noticed that Robbie Ferguson G him spaced he took it and then gave it out to Williams who unfortunately spilled it opportunity Wasted Madison Hughes is on the field there he is he was commentating with us last year doing your job Greg he was actually very useful cuz he’s an absolute genius got an IQ about 160 when it came to the permutations down the stretch in pulls he was like
Yeah I’ll handle that rote it all out for us hereo that’s what’s that’s he’s brilliant you can do it all being at Stanford University studying something very difficult GB down by 10 Glover out the back to Kim beretto Live Wire scrum half from Scotland but another
Penalty rocker and he’s been a tough on GB in this game edale swings it out to Williams looking for their third try here and they’ll be tough to catch if they get over the line again here Thomasson back to Williams buys himself a bit of time there is Madison Hughes
Shrer Perry Baker got to be careful not to give him the sideline bounces away from Glover shers there to help him out Madison Hughes again Williams Thomasson Cummings with some Pace as well Alex Davis though good hit Thomason again real quick reload that for the USA makes
It so much harder for the the Great Britain defense here’s Perry Baker skips inside Emory when he does stuff like that he’s just so good to watch thought he might be slowing down in his dotage not so Perry Baker still got loads to offer he’s box office baby
I was talking to him during the week and he told me his secret It’s peanut butter jelly sandwiches is what has got him to 37 years of age and still flying it so that’s what I’ve been missing that’s it that’s all you need a bit of PB&J well PB even without the jelly
Us he’s racking up tries in Vancouver 15 nothing making 17 with the extra two look at that he’s closing in on the great Kenyon Collins and jir are just five behind him now he might get that this weekend that’s very close Dan Norton 358 all time I’m not sure that’ll ever be
Caught the uh England and Great Britain seven Superstar Hughes gets us back underway happy to go a little longer off the restart with this 17n lead TR trust their defense cat the ball but another penalty against Great Britain frustration big time for Alex Davis and
GB yeah you can see Davis looking up to the stars there kicking himself the ill discipline is what’s going to kill this GB team it’s been consistent all weekend here’s Mak anuf number 77 it’s his 50th s’s World Series event out on the field on the hook on the hook yeah they
Must be GB fans not happy with this Hughes sit feeds the scrum and Lucas lamp has spotted some space on the short side and he’s going to eat it up that’s number four and that might be the ball game Lucas lamp deceptively quick we had a defensive error there by
GB the scrum half got caught trying to pin his opposite number and Lucas the camp Saw the space on The Blind Side and the GB hooker couldn’t get out quick enough to stop but denim dad pointed to the camera he loves it he’ll be in Los Angeles next week if
You looking for something to do next weekend head down to digly health Sports Park where the USA Rugby will be hosting the H bcla sevens and in this kind of form USA Eagles will be looking forward to it as well 22 nothing over Great Britain in a cup quarterfinal Glover
Hans just can’t get out of their own half for this second half Great Britain no matter what they do penalties have absolutely killed them in this quarter final there’s an error from beretto as well and that’s been the story errors and penalties frustrating for GB I can feel
Their pain you can see the Tactical change by USA they’re pinning them back long drop offs into the GB 22 and then pressurizing them into the corner pressurizing them into penalties and mistakes tactical Master Class yeah the other thing about the USA is they’re making the most of their chances they were 90%
Success rate opposite opposition 22 coming into this game and that’s a really important stat in rugby s isn’t it taking a chance course they had 90% success right in the Red Zone coming into this and they have another opportunity here 90 seconds left on the clock Argentina sore coming up next
Looks like USA going to play the winner of that in the semi-finals now knock on from GB the GB face right there oh my heart goes out them just too many errors too many penalties handing the ball back to the USA here hopefully we can see something
Good for the last minute set scr here bind sit they come with the power at the scrum but Lucas lamp puts the foot down once more swings it over to Malachi isdale heading for the corner stop go and he Scores number two for the match Malachi isdale has five for the week Lucas lamp take a B on look at that pace Harry Glover shot up in the middle Lucas aam saw the Gap pierced through it and found his mate esdale on the wing a
Double for him and a great finish to his day’s work he’s a super athlete Malachi is doubt that’s probably the worst conversion we’ve seen all weekend but it won’t matter because USA been Outstanding in this guy 27 nothing that was your mate Madison news he can do the match you can do the mat on that kick so we’re in outed seconds here but we will have a restart goes long again Glover just lets that go over the sideline there’s no real need for
Madison to force it with the kicks 27 nil up big Donut for GB just Cal it down also you’re thinking at this stage it’s just preservation of energy isn’t it that the semi-finals tomor you want to get back to the hotel now put the feeds up exactly will Homer who got a match
Winner of his own yesterday for Great Britain and the win over Ireland Herman beretto can Great Britain finish with a flourish the best they can hope for now as a fifth place playoff remember there’s no seminal section of the competition now so you then look at seedings to play for seventh or fifth here’s will Homer aans runs in a mcka
An Vantage home the glove rips It Wide penalty though the referee in this game no he’s been great the ref In fairness and I’ve also been very impressed with Austin Emmons they only ever kept USA a clean sheet twice in a cup quarterfinal in their history so they’ll want to try and keep
Out GB here because that would be something very positive to hang your head on over night ahead of the semi-finals tomorrow wlon flicks it out to Ammons but USA have it they put it off the park and they do inflict the bagel on Great Britain excellent performance from the
USA Eagles they’re through to the final four in Vancouver 27 nil over Great Britain yeah not a great night not a great finish for GB no points on the board but we have to handed to the USA they were outstanding offensively and defensively

USA playing some beautiful rugby
Mr Baker! I was as well a sprinter before play rugby.
I suggest to do as Mr Moneta( Arg )and make USA unbeatable just waiting and approaching at the right moment with 5 m momentum easy start and just go for electric try
Lesshhggoo 🇺🇲‼️‼️
the daughter US surpassed the mother GB
USA imita a Argentina con sus velocistas africanos
Out of curiosity.
Why is Great Britain playing in Rugby Seven instead of England, Scotland and Wales like in the World Cup?
If USA can recruit more of athletic players like Kerry Baker and Malachau then USA will be a force to consider in future. Sevens fit these players with speed and agility
Post usa vs new Zealand game pls
