HibeeJibee Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I'm reading that Botafogo also use the Havelange Athletics Stadium. Apparently the various clubs have been unable to use it or Maracana during the Games. Just surprises me didn't use something similar for the Rugby 7s weekends.

The havelange athletics stadium is the olympic stadium,its also next a massive favela.During reconstruction work to the maracana all the teams played there it was a wee bit scary watching a match and hearing gunfire in the favela at the same time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Connolly Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 GB have completely shat themselves in the 7s. Playing as individuals rather than a team, and being completely dominated as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salvo Montalbano Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Poor tactically, poor decision making and a lack of composure. Bizarre when they looked so good in the pool matches including the first game against the Canadians. Kinda looks like Canada didn't select their best players in their semi and were happy to go for the bronze whereas GB went for it and then lost the plot against New Zealand.
