The finals of the 2022 women's and men's Rugby Sevens World Cup played out in Cape Town, South Africa on Sunday. New Zealand competed in both matches; the women tackled Australia and the men squared off against Fiji.
Soundgarden provided the backing track for the Kiwis.
The ladies match was a doozy. The Matildas overcame an early deficit to lead, 24-10, late in the second half. The Black Ferns fought back ferociously, scoring a try and a conversion, then another try at the death. All that remained to send the match to extra time was a reasonable routine conversion. Watch from the 24:00 minute mark to see what happened, and send good thoughts to Tenika Willison.
The men's match was far less dramatic, but historic in its own way. Fiji dominated the opening half against the All-Blacks to take their first World Cup title since 2015, 29-12. There were tears down Fiji way.

Kid is still sick and running a fever. No COVID but there's definitely something going around. She's 1 of 4 girls on her soccer team to get sick in less than a week.
DeSantis mandated that all FL COVID tests come back negative
As if he would even approve taking a COVID test.
No child left behind?

Extremely cool. And rare.
Seems like the NBA has a good grasp on how to discipline its owners while the NFL… you know

My wife planned a couple nights away for us the weekend after my birthday. I just found out Pusha T has a show in the same city on that Saturday night. Struggling with how to gently ask what, if anything, is planned for Saturday night because, well, its fucking Pusha T.
Pusha T playing in my town on the night of my birthday. Wish I were more of a fan. He’s from here, so it’s sure to be a humdinger.
