Just a reminder, for Australian fans, you’ll be able to watch both Semi Finals on SBS Viceland tonight at 7pm and Midnight AEST.
1/4 time: Fiji 17 v Trinidad & Tobago 8
A dominant first quarter from Fiji. Unfortunately, just way too many turnovers against T&T. Unaisi Raulini starring once again at GA for Fiji.
1/2 time: Fiji 34 v Trinidad & Tobago 15
Rusivakula 13/16 (81%)
Rauluni 21/23 (91%)Noel 8/9 (89%)
Cooper 7/7 (100%)Another dominant quarter from the Pearls. They’re really finishing this tournament strongly. Sadly, T&T has given up 23 turnovers in a half.

Raulini 36/41 (88%)
Rusivakula 18/22 (82%)

GK JuryA fierce start to this game. So much pressure. 5-5 after 8 minutes!
Jury at GK. NZ taking this seriously :good:
1/4 time: England 9 v New Zealand 9
Cardwell 6/7 (86%)
Housby 3/4 (75%)Wilson 6/6 (100%)
Ekenasio 3/3 (100%)Well, that 15 minutes flew by. A low scoring game. Because of the huge defensive pressure from both teams, the attack has to be methodical and cautious.
Great defensive pressure from both sides that quarter. I hope England put Pitman on sooner rather than later to cut through the NZ zone, Metcalf not doing much
1/2 time: England 20 v New Zealand 20
Cardwell 13/17 (76%)
Housby 7/9 (78%)Wilson 13/13 (100%)
Ekenasio 7/7 (100%)They can’t be separated! Level again at 1/2 time after NZ scored the last 2 goals. So many penalties. The count is 39-33 against England at this stage
England always pushing the rules. Not standing out of play properly. Contacting down the court. Their defence always looking and clarifying with the umpire what they are pulled up for . I know they can do it but I find it a bit annoying! Malcolm very rough and Housby obstructing and contacting consistently.
Im an Aussie and really want NZ to win.3/4 time: England 32 v New Zealand 32
Cardwell 18/23 (78%)
Housby 14/15 (93%)Wilson 19/19 (100%)
Ekenasio 13/14 (93%)This is crazy!!! These two teams just can’t be split. This time NZ managed to get a lead before England nabbed the last 2.
Extra time anyone?
