Robin Heymann

Thats all folks! Thanks for joining me today for UR7s inaugural Live Text Commentary! Full summary of Day 1 and some reaction to follow later. See you tomorrow, early doors at 9:30am Californian time for the day 2 knockouts...Ciao.

Match 24 – Australia v South Africa

Final match of long but very entertaining day, and it's another potential corker.

South Africa looking for a win to top Pool A, whereas an Australian win would get them through to the Cup quarters...a 7 point Aussie win could deny the Boks a place in the cup quarter-final altogether!

South Africa’s pace proving too much for the Aussies early on, an attack down the right leading to an overlap on the left, Ebersohn going over to give them a 5 point lead.

Australia attack from their own 22, Peter Betham makes a good break, falls over then gives a nice pass to William Bishop to score around the outside.

Consistent pressure from South Africa inside the Australia 22 leads to Philip Snyman getting a try, stepping inside a would be tackler nicely to dot down.

South Africa get a try out wide and a lovely line from Vuyo Zangqa increases their lead even further. A comprehensive 22 -7 win .for South Africa sees them top the group and sets them up for a mouth watering quarter final clash with New Zealand tomorrow. Treu's troops have just done enough all day, ominous stuff...

Match 23 – Kenya v New Zealand

Kenya need to win this to get through to the quarters, some aimless kicking strangely paving way for the captain Humphrey Kayange to get them off to a perfect start, linking up with Biko Adema to score under the posts.

Kenya clean up the scraps from a New Zealand attack and get another try. A sloppy pass from Tokula allows Brian Nyikuli to score, his momentum taking him over. 14-0 Kenya. The jubilant Kenyan contingent in the crowd breaks out into a rendition of ‘ole ole’ as they sense .

Kiwi Tu Umaga-Marshall shows great feet to score a crucial try just before half time, keeping the Kenyans in their sights.

Kenya chase a kick through en masse and force a 5 metre scrum. They score shortly after, Victor Oduor wriggles over from close range following a change of attack down the blind side.

19-7 as the hooter goes for full time, Oduor gets another try to seal an impressive win over the Kiwis, 24-7. The Kenyans, as in Wellington, have left it late and deny the Kiwis top spot in Pool B courtesy of their superior points difference.

Match 22 – England v Samoa

Big games coming in thick and fast now, the winner of this game will meet Fiji in the quarter finals.

Samoa strike first, attacking from their own 22, going down the left initially then recycling to attack down the right, Apelu Fa’aiuga touching down in the corner. Iosua strikes again for Samoa and England are 2 tries down.

Kevin Barrett sees some space behind the Samoa defence and scores with a chip and chase, pirouetting over the line .to get the ball down. Gollings coolly adds the extras from out wide to edge England slightly closer.

Samoa mean business today after a dreadful performance at Wellington last week, but this game is still anyone’s. Samoa with a slender 3 point lead at half time.

Treviranus hands off Ollie Phillips and scores in the corner off the England kick off.

England faltering in attack, but manage to get another try through Exeter Chief Kevin Barrett.

Frenetic end to a scrappy game, Samoa edging it by 3 points. 12-15 to Samoa.

Match 21- Fiji v Argentina

Some big-games coming up now and no bigger then this top of the table Pool D showdown with the winners taking on either Samoa or England.

Silly Fiji – overly aggressive stuff from Naba within the first 30 seconds sees a yellow. Pumas use the man extra nicely with the cheeky half-back Figuerola darting over blind from a scrum.

Fiji are patient though and some lovely stuff from inside flick from Watisoni Votu feeds Goneva for a classic old school Fijian try – that’s the real Fiji right there.

7-5 to the Fijians at the break, finely poised as me old mucker Jon Bon Jovi belts out some ‘Livin on a Prayer has the Fiji fans bopping.

Pumas are holding on here but Fiji are pressing through and eventually the pressure tells as the Rokodiva finds some magic to coast past a helpless sweeper in for the 7. 14-5 to Fiji.

Looking dangerous here Fiji with good work from Rokodiva (new William Ryder?) putting in Rasileka whose unnecessary high elbowed hitch kicks get him over the line. 19-5 to Fiji.

Puma’s seek some solace and get it in the shape of a Camacho try. 19-10.

Some presentations on stage in front of the masses here at PETCO and the Elite ID team, sponsored by us here at Ultimate Rugby Sevens, are presented with the trophy they won at the San Diego Invitational Sevens yesterday – congrats to Manager Tom Burwell and the rest of the boys. Think only two tries were conceded all day…comprehensive.

Match 19 - Uruguay v France

Pool B is tight with Kenya and Uruguay on level points behind New Zealand. A decent France win here could make thins interesting.

France race out into a 21-0 lead with the delightfully named Farid Sid almost running the length to effectively seal the victory. Seems an eternity ago since Los Teros win over Kenya…they look shattered.

An early brace second half brace from Mazieres and Nicolas Brindel ease the French away to 31-0. Juan Ignacio Conti gives Los Teros something to shout about though with a consolation touch down -38-5. It all comes down to points difference and think Kenya should be safe – looking forward to their clash with the Kiwis later.

Match 18 - Japan V Scotland

Similarly to the previous fixture both Japanese and Scottish have’t had a lot to shout about today but will be looking to take some confidence into the plate and bowl tomorrow.

Scotland score an early brace with impressive work from Scotty Riddell particualy. Piei Mafileo shows good power and pace to keep the Japanese in it but they concede again and it’s 19-5 at the half.

Skipper Roddy Grant was impressive in Wellington last week but has been a bit quiet today. He finishes off some good work from Shaw. Riddell walks in a minute later after a quick tap from Colin Gregor making it 29-5.

Tupuailei has been Japans bight spark today and his hard work again creates a Japanese consolation. 29-10 at the final ‘boat’ horn, and some sort of Beyonce/Happy Hardcore mix echoes around PETCO…Sure there would have been some Valentine’s rings on fingers around the world today...?!

Match 17 - Mexico v Wales

Both sides have struggled so far today coming up short against Fiji and Argentina respectively. Chance for some consolation.

Welsh gaffer Paul John has rung the changes and they quickly establish a 21-0 win with Rhys Webb and Chris Czekaj opening their San Diego accounts.

Mexico fans are enjoying themselves, like the Kenyan, they seem to have multiplied and are now dominating a little section in front of me – Could do with a few more songs other then repetitive ‘Mehico, Mehico, Mehico’.

More of the same in the second period and it’s a stroll in the valleys now with a tiring Mexican defence gifting an elusive McAtee and Chris Davies (2) with easy run ins that my granny could have run.. 38-0. McAtee is tucking in here although the Mexicans enthusiasm for the fight dried up a while back –tries form Davies, McAtee, and Turnbull tries makes it a 57-0 rout.

In a nice little dress rehearsal for the Women’s World Cup, England meet USA in the final here at PETCO Park. Both teams got to the final after beating off the challenges of Canada, New Zealand, and China in a round robin style event at the San Diego Invitational yesterday.

Great game here, finishing 12-12 at full time. England snatch it in over-time though with a ‘Golden Try’ to take the honours and some pre-Dubai confidence for Simon Amor’s girls.

Match 16 – USA V Canada

Heres a big one for the home crowd, USA need a win badly to keep on their aim if making yet another ‘Cup’ knock out stage.

‘Neat’ work form Swiryn teaming up with US’s very own Stevie Gerrard - Chris Wyles – to don his 14th try of the season.

Great off-load form ‘Stevie’ Wyles sees Naqica through and he embarrasses Benjamin Coridas stepping and then going 30m. 12-0.

Loving this US of A atmosphere – any turnover is greeted like a Super-Bowl win: Doesn’t stop Luke Morahan going over though under the posts. The Aussie ACDC blares out at half-time trying in a bid to inspire their countrymen. Set up nicely this one. 12-7.

Silly from Naqica, a needless late shove resulting in a binning – Going to be tough to hold on with 6 men. Former Rugby League bolter, Shaun Foley, capitalises and the Aussies are back in the mix with 12-12 ball game.

With Naqica back on the US are wearing the boys form Oz down with some hard running and intense work-rate. Malifa who impressed all day feeds a shifting Justin Boyd who reach is enough to score in the corner – 17-12 and it’s Bruce Springsteen time!

Finishes 17-12 to the hosts and their Cup campaign is very much alive much to the relief of the 20,00 fans dotted around PETCO.
22:44

Match 15 - Canada v South Africa

Gio Aplan seems to have recovered from his Wellington neck injury slicing through a gaping Canadian hole and jazz dancing round the sweeper to restore order after an early Canada try. .

Ryan Benjamin gets fed by Renfred Dazel (still love that name) to coast in for a score 14-5. So much gas in this Bok set-up that any turn over is lethal for Canada.

Oh hello - Canada bringing some Ice Hockey handbags into the mix with Meechan giving Snyman a slap and a tickle.

Half time - The dulcet tones of Rolling Stones blares out - “ I can’t get nooo – satisfaction”

Enjoying this nice and feisty (remember the World Cup 1995 30 man punch up between these two?) Ryno Benjamin powers over and then a no look pop form my man Renfred gets Robert Ebersohn over. 24-5.

Jordan Kozina hasn’t given up the ghost though wriggles over to give the Canadians a bit of solace – short lived though as scrum-capped Aplon breaks away and feeds sub Mapoe. 31-12…nothing spectacular but effective for Paul Treu’s boys, they are warming up nicely.

Match 14 - Kenya v France

It’s Kenya time! The large congregated Kenyan fans have doubled since I last looked – great stuff. Kenyans need a win big time though after highly disappointing loss earlier against Uruguay.

Collins Injera wheels lights up 70m of PETCO turf, the ball is recycled and the portly Victor Odour goes over in the corner. The conversion is nudged over and we are 7-0.
Injera is so tough to put down, combining gas, a languid scything step and power: 14-0 at the half people – and the all singing dancing Kenyan faithful show their appreciation.

A risky Gallic midfield pass is hunted down by guess who…Collins Injera blasts away 75m, flops over the line, kisses the ball and looks to the heavens – good.

Jeez what batteries is this guy on, Collins goes blind and that’s a blistering hat-trick. Really is the Injera show this one. 28 – 0. Have France touched the ball yet?

That loss to Uruguay has stung the Africans and they are letting their aggression out on a helpless France – Sidney Ashioya showing theres more to this team then Injera coasting home at a speed of knots. 33-0 at the whistle. Flamenco Dancers keep the crowd going on Stage…

Official halfway point of Day 1

Match 13 - New Zealand v Uruguay

After their heroic win against the Kenyans earlier, the Uruguayans - Los Teros - have it all to do against the mighty men in black. I’m not writing them off though…yet.

Classic Gordan Tietjens so fat with New Zealand drawing their opposition right to left with Nanai-Williams playing the role of ‘link man’. Waqasduadua, Umaga Marshall (relation of Tana and Justin?) going over unopposed to make it 12-0. Nanai-Williams gets in on the act himself out-sprinting a tiring Uruguay. The South Americans must have had the ball for about 10 seconds so far…19-0 at the break.

Uruguayans have little interest in releasing at the break down and its all too easy for replacement Ben Souness as he physically powers through some paper tackling for two straight up tries. Tokula (2) and Umaga- Marshall, and veteran Nigel Hunt rub further salt into Uruguayan wounds. 53-0 = comprehensive.

Match 12 - Samoa v Scotland

Textbook Samoa so far mixing big hits with gas out wide. Iosua and Treviranus tries secure a 12-0 lead.

Kamikaze wild passing from the Scots I’m afraid sees a honest fly-hack and five pointer for Apelu Fa’aigua- 19-0. Samoans at PETCO are loving this cut-throat approach form their side. Half-time.

The strapping Roland Reid is the one Scot showing a bit of fight here making some good inroads finding Rich Vernon who gives some payback with brutish hand-off of his own. 19-7.

Route 1 stuff from the Islanders eventually paves off with a Fa’osiliva try making it 24-7 and that’s how it ends.

Samoa 24 Scotland 7.

Match 11 - England v Japan

USA Star James Gillenwater has his traditional USA Sevens fanclub on Row 1. They are all mirroring his blond curly hair with a rather nice assortment of wigs whilst draped in star and stripes flags.

Japan holding off English advances thus far with 4 gallant defenders holding up big Chris Cracknall over the line. Some lung bursting defence form England this time following a break from Yuki Suzuki. Leading IRB points scorer Ben Gollings has had enough and a chip through is eventually finished up by Tom Biggs hitch-kicking past his man. 7 zip.

Another Biggs break sees him flip a ball inside to England’s try machine Ollie Philips. The two combine again a minute later with Biggs cutting Philips with a scything line. Mr Gollings converts 21-0

Cracknall is becoming an integral part of this squad constantly supporting as a back-row flopping over - that’s the ball game there at 28-0.

Replacement Mafileo gives the Japanese some consolation getting on the end of Latuila’s subtle flick. Ben Jones is enjoying getting some game-time and after a couple of bustling runs he out-gasses Tsuiki to go over in the corner. 36-12

Match 10 - Argentina V Wales

The Welsh might be going well back home (seeing off England in the 6 Nations) but they are struggling here. They tamely gifting that man Cora an early 5 pointer, after Amorosino chip was spilled. Caceres follows up with another try after some aggressive counter-rucking. 10-0.

Bosh! You can feel some of the Argentine hits form up here. They might look like a bunch of latin pop-stars but they don’t shirk from their defensive duties! Just as I say that Craig Hill is put in on the 22 and skates over nicely to close the gap – 10-5 at the break.

Amorosina is the go-to man for the Puma’s constantly fixing defenders and putting his men in: Figuerola should be buy him a beer for that – 15-5.

Welsh can’t get out of their 22 at the moment being suffocated by this impressive Puma ‘D’. Camacho finishes the job nicely for the 2004 USA Sevens winners sealing a 20-5 win.

Match 9 - Fiji v Mexico

These two have never met before in the IRB Series. The Fijians looked good in game 1 suggesting this could be a long 14 minutes for the Mehico

Ground is filling up nicely and the things are hotting up weather wise – lovely stuff.

Easy going for the Fiji boys in that first half. A Kolinisau hat-trick (one a classic school-boy dummy) helps up opens up a comfortable 31-0 lead.

The Mexicans have got 8 die hard fans just below me gamely chanting but it’s men against boys stuff on the pitch with Rokodiva, Saukura, and Kolinisau going over. The 50s up.

Ouch Brandant Cruz gets a textbook Fijian hand off to finish off a lesson learning 57-0 loss for the Mexicans. Fiji mean business this weekend.
20:15
5 minute break here guys - time for an official American National Anthem and a well timed but deafening fly-by of some sort - only in America!

Match 8 - Australia v Canada.

Wallabies have gained the reputation as mid-table journeymen in the IRB Sevens but with a side packed full of pace and agility they can turn anyone over when it clicks. Canadians

The experienced Damon Murphy opens the scoring closely followed by ‘sidestep’ guru Richard Kingi. The Canadians heads are still in the ‘locker room’ it seems –step it up boys. They take heed of Heymann’s advice though with Duke, Moonlight combining with Keys who is all but over before spilling the pill. 14-0 at the half folks.

Canada seem revitalised in the second period takes some serious last ditch ‘D’ from Willie Bishop to deny the boys in red –

The Oz can’t hold out for long though as Morgan Williams muscles over to claw back the lead 14-7.

Yet the Canadians momentum is halted when they gift to soft scores to a rather rapid
Luke Morhan and Aiden Toua interception. Some super feet from a red hot Willy Bishop does the job though and it is 35-7 at the final buzzer (or ships horn as it is here in Sunny San Diego!)

Match 7 - USA V South Africa

Hosts US of A face a tough one here against log leaders South Africa. They met in last week’s plate final with the Boks untroubled in a 22-0 thumping.

The US have never beaten the Boks in the IRB Sevens.

Lovely pirouette from Wyles sees him sprint 60m but his pass doesn’t find Gillenwater who knocks on. Quiet start form both sides so far. That is untill Frankie Horne smashed over in the corner form a quick tap penalty. Renfred Dazel (lovely name) is unsuccessful. 5-0 to the Boks.

Renfred shows us some genuine wheels going blind in the last play of the half gassing Wyles to coast in. He misses his kick though and its 10 -0 at the break. Coach Paul Treu will be happy thus far but it can all change so quickly in 7s.

No!!! Great break from Wyles launches the US deep into Bok territory but Malifa gets white line fever and Pat Butcher’s a very standard 2-1! Could be costly boys.

Or not, as good link work with the effervescent Wyles and Naqica sees Paul Emerick go over in the corner. Extra are added and the crowd pipes up wit a predictable U.S.A – U.S.A chant!

Big smash from Wyles and Swiryn can’t believe his luck as he coast in rught under – 14-10 to the US!

Long raking kick from Boks collected from Boyd – who doesn’t release. Penalty. Ball is shifted right to a very unslow Howard Noble. Kick is fluffed. USA 14-Boks 15.

Clock is up folks and Wyles is over exuberance at the breakdown sees him yellow carded and the ball pumped into touch. Damp squid ending but the USA will be kicking themselves after a sluggish first 7.

USA 14-South Africa 15

Match 6 - Kenya v Uruguay.

Kenyans have some big support here –‘Kenyan Vibe’ Parties have been in full swing all week here in SD – a real experience believe me!

These two have only met twice before and it’s 1-1 in the head to head stakes. Kenyans will surely have too much in their locker for the South American minnows – let’s see.

Penalty for some dodgy Uruguayan binding at scrum time, and the typically patient Kenyans sniff an opening – which Lavin Asego does beautifully shrugging off flaying tackles. He converts his own kick.

From the restart the South Americans go on the hunt and Martinez is in flying down the wing impressively, he is hauled down by Were Kahuthia but pops to Gibernau who goes under the sticks…7-7!

Horrible line out mix up from the a lethargic looking Kenyan side and Carracedo can hardly believe his luck as he dots over. 14-7 at the half…Uruguay aren’t playing like minnows I suggested they were.

Coach Aiymba and the Kenyan fans urge their side on but silly knock on are costing them early in the second half. Referee Lees has had enough of Humphrey Kayange and sends him to the bin for some very obvious ball slowing.

Great break from Arocena but this seasons try scorer Collins Injera gets hold of some turnover ball and glides in from 80m –conversion is MISSED though…14-12 to Uruguay still!

Penalties have been the Kenyans downfall and two more infringements prove costly and Pool B is wide open! Kenya 14 Uruguay 12. Knew I shouldn’t have labelled them minnows! Great result for the South Americans...

Match 5 - New Zealand v France

French have not beaten New Zealand in 5 years in the IRB Sevens with the Kiwis hurting after losing out in front of their home fans last week’s final to the English.

Don’t give Kiwis turnover ball France…if you do they will hurt you as Waqasduadua proves flying in off his wing. 12-0.

Classic French counter attack though with good work from Patey and Sid feeding Rida Jaouher. 12-7.

Kiwis are more adept at break down and the French can’t keep hold of the ball at moment. Put some silly Kiwi chat back gifts a penalty to the French and the pony tailed Vincent Deniau wriggles over, conversion hits the post and its 12-12 at the half folks – Game On!

After a dressing down from Tietjens the Kiwis swarm in defence but it doesn’t stop Patey who is through only to put his pass to Boutey forward with the whitewash begging!

French enterprising rugby here, mixing physicality with some Moet laden passing. Ouch another turnover is picked up Paul Grant who is smashed but the pill finds its way into Tim Mikkelson’s hands for the score. 17-12.

Scrappy stuff here with 30 seconds to go – Gallic magic required immediately please. Oh no ball goes loose and Nanai-Williams is the recipient. French don’t deserve that in what was a close one. 22-12 to New Zealand in the best game of the day thus far.

Match 4 -Samoa v Japan

Japan have never beaten Samoa and might struggle here against the physical Islanders.
The Samoans have some very vocal support with California boasting large amount of Polynesians who are out in force today.

Japan putting in some brave hits here early on but after 2 mins they haven’t touched the ball and they are 14- 0 down from the off with Iosua and Meafou strolling over.

Finally Japan get the ball but are pinged for feeding in the scrum! School boy fellas.

The Japanese are pretty diminutive but they have a big unit in Alisi Tupuailei who the Samoans are struggling to put down, their hard work is rewarded just before the half is up with Tupuailei smashing through two Samoans to go over. 14-7 at half-time.

Samoa on the attack from the off and the Uale Mai who was crucially missing in Wellington fixes his man to put Fa’osiliva in for a score. 19-7.

Samoans using the widths nicely here, which is unlike them, and after running the Japan ragged Fa’aiuga smashes past Tupuailei in the far right corner. Conversion from Lui (on the touch line) is good. 26-7.

Lei Sam puts the finishing touches on a comprehensive win for the Islanders – Lui has a gread nudge on him smashes another good kick to seal a 33-7 win…all going as expected so far, with the big guns looking strong.

Match 3 – England V Scotland

Scotland take on the Auld Enemy here with the Scots record against the English a poor one, 1 win in 13 IRB encounters.

Power from Damudamu right at the start who pops to Phillips with the Exeter Chief, Barratt
in support to score in corner.

Scoop from Biggs and Damu damu is on hand dummying his way over. Gollings converts. Watching IRB Series leaders South Africa are below us watching on in the stands taking some mental note.

But the Scots are no mugs (they took home the Shield in Wellington) and a neat cross-field kick falls into the hands of Rich Verno who hits Roland Reid lovely line to go under the posts. 12-7 Half Time.

Barratt puts a delicious pass into flyer Biggs who has too much in his engine for the Scots, Gollings slices wide for the extras and its 17-7.

Scotland showing some nice touches here and have some big men in Reid making inroads. Ball is spread wide and Andy Easson goes in the corner handing off Gloucester youngster Dan Norton. 17-12.

England have the final say though as Barratt jinks and dodges and after some nice link with the brutish Cracknall the zippy orange booted Norton dances over for an easy try – Gollings doesn’t convert form the touch line. 22-12. An that’s how it ends, England as they did in day 1 in Wellington, just doing enough, but you don’t win anything on the opening day…

Match 2 - Argentina v Mexico

All Latin affair here with the Pumas looking to kick on from a great weekend in Wellington. Del Busto spies a gap early and skips over nicely - conversion is good from Rodriguez. .

Brave defense here by the Mexican minnows but they are turned over and Camacho ambles over for a try- Rodriguez adds the 2

Quick tap from Camacho sees the ball spread wide to Gomez Cora – the leading IRB all time scorer – so no surprises seeing him gas the Mexican cover defence. 21 -0

Scrum down and try –Fleming feeding Camacho who score under the sticks. 28 -0. 208th IRB try from Cora after some lightweight defence and with Fleming’s post hooter lung 50m lung bursting try seals an unsurprising 45-0 win for the Pumas.

Warm affection shown between the teams there at the end.

Match 1 – Fiji v Wales

Fjians catch the welsh from the start with neat work from Rokodiva putting in Etonia Naba to crash over. 7-0. The Welsh commit another silly penalty for holding on with the livewire Rokodiva quick tapping and going over - he kicks the extra 14-0 just like that!

Silly penalties costing the Welsh here and a Bergomasco esque pass from Norris. Hard tackling from the Fijians and the Welsh are not looking that penetrating here. But hang on Heymann is talking out hat as a nice little interchange/scissors between the lively Lee Williams and James Merriman see the latter cross over under the sticks. Williams converts –14 -7 toFiji at the half.

Nice break from Jimmy ‘Bergo’ Norris gassing his man and linking up with link man Merriman who slips on the greasy overnight rain clad surface.

Refs had enough of persistent infringements and sinbanned Chris Davies…the Fijians captilise and break out again led by Rokodiva with good support form replacement Pio Tuwai.. Rokodivo convers 21-7.

Missed tackles aren’t helping the Welsh here and Tuwai skuttles over yet again…Welsh running out of steam here and a hopeful chip from Mc Atee lands in hands of Rokodiva who who spies a gaps and puts the man mountain Serermaia Burotu in for a score with good old Roko yet again slotting the two. 35- 7. Fiji looking in ominous form here folks.

Some sort of consolation for Welsh with Crag Hill’s break resulting in a walk in for Davies. Williams converts 35-14.

Bit of a scrappy one but the boys from Fiji will be breathing more easily in what could have been a banana skin there.

Some mouth watering games to look forward today and some score to settle from Wellington...

First up today is Wales v Fiji – The Welsh came of age last weekend not only defeating hosts New Zealand on the opening day but also defeating the Fijians themselves in the Plate Semi-Final. Fair to say Iliesa Tanivula’s boys will be up for this one!

This is the halfway point of the IRB Sevens World Series, with the World Cup 19 days away this weekend is a last chance saloon for teams in terms of game time preparation!

Following the dramatic 3rd leg last weekend in Wellington the stage is set for another scintillating weekend of rugby! The stadium is filling slowly and the atmosphere bubbling nicely!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls - Welcome to San Diego! The USA 7s is here and the beautiful PETCO Park is shimmering with sunshine for the day 1 festivities! UR7S will be following all the action from the weekend with their unique Live Text Commentary!
