Keeping things light.  The New Zealand women were dominant in this match as they cruised to a 57-0 win over the Mexico women 7s.  The Ferns were the defending Olympic rugby champions and eventually duplicated their success by winning the World Cup.

We have been posting select shots on Instagram, both at the regular sports site at 3pointsport and also at the other general showcase site theprojectfc and there has been a mix of material ranging from the men and women’s tournament to the supporters of the game.  Most of the scenes were similar to the recent soccer World Cup in Russia but more festive.

The feed also goes to the photo host so check it out.

I'm going to be the first to admit @drive_x_strike takes better shots (and give him a follow) but surprised this turned out good. Argentina v Canada Friday session #attpark #rwc7s #rugby can very well be NFL or Aussie rules. My take.

Argentina v Canada


More to come.

We’ve just returned from AT&T Park covering the Rugby World Cup 7s.  Due to the massive log of material taken at the match, we’ll be unloading material from August 1 until August 18 when the Quakes have their next home game that night against Toronto.

It is hard to describe the entire story of the event but in the wake of the recent soccer World Cup it is somewhat similar in terms of fan atmosphere, but more cordial.

We will show some select shots from Nap Badillo in the days to come, be here or on Instagram.

For now, a teaser pic.
