second win in a place in the cup quarterfinals on finals day big team news for them is that their number 15 Tom Emory suffered a lower leg injury yesterday unavailable despite being listed there as a bench player he won’t be out there for GB here they’re down to 11 players Uganda had a loss yesterday to Canada 3112 so Ian manani the captain will lead them out desperate for a win here to keep them in cup quarterfinal contention GB one of the uh the top SE coming in here they are of course a core nation in HSBC 7s World Series rugby but this Ugandan side we’ve seen them in the past at Commonwealth Gams pull off some big wins at at major tournaments and this is a major tournament the man alongside me Greg oay won it here with Ireland ahead of the Tokyo Olympic Games what’s going through the minds of these players Greg as they prepare to run out here in this crucial round two game it’s a difficult one for Great Britain obviously losing Tom emry who’s one of their Playmakers and that would be sub subconsciously in the guy’s head that they’re going to have to play with 11 men for the rest of the tournament but it’s totally fine because Great Britain are a quality side led by Robbie Ferguson they came back from a 12 nil deficit yesterday against China bero stood up and they’re actually starting with Harry Glover in this game so it’ be interesting to see him in the middle of the park Uganda aren’t too bad though and they have to watch out for them they did well in the Series this year the Challenger Series yeah like welcome back some of their big names the likes of Philip Walker rat and also carrying in nway andan monani the captain so they’re here to do the business as well AJ yobs the referee and there’s Tom Emory who was injured yesterday that right lower leg give us a wave to he’s there with his family uh a devastating moment for him yesterday but great Greg that he’s got the support of his nearest and dearest with him here today yeah we have a lot of British supporters over on that side of the stadium good to see him smiling good spirits still here supporting his boys [Music] so all to play for here for Great Britain and Uganda Canada previous match won their second game they’re through to the cup quarterfinals who will join them automatically out of pull B Uganda here get us underway their left to right Great Britain in there red white and blue and they have the ball through Robbie Ferguson catching that kickoff here Ken bareto came off the bench yesterday for Tom Emory and made a big big difference in a game that they fell behind early against China they’ll be looking for a better start here they went down 12 nothing against China before recovering and winning at 3519 they got a penalty yeah composed start there by Great Britain they’re obviously inside their half here but they managed to hold onto the ball retain it off little bit of a knock here to wlon but he’s a tough man he’ll jump up out of that one two strong sides here they’re going to batt it out there going to be a lot of attrition in this game and that’s why they’re looking for the turnover at the breakdown here’s Ken buretto formerly Scotland sevens before Scotland Wales and England came together in line with the Olympic cycle as Great Britain on the series and here’s Harry Glover who was at the Olympic Games in Tokyo good run from him wlon again Max McFarland those two players came off the bench yesterday got the start here here’s Ferguson Jamie Bon now Glover once more he’s got Charlton Kerr to his left holds on Ferguson comes the same way to big Charlton cerr he’s got all the power you need and he reaches out and scores for Great Britain excellent try from GB that’s the kind of start they’re looking for yeah that’s exactly what they want game one on day two it’s a lovely centerpiece Tap Play and one of their main men Harry Glover blits up the middle of the pitch thought about the off load but decided to take it to deck keep it calm and just bring it to the hands Kerr great outside step uses his strength and the lengthen that arm to stretch out and get the points here’s a 400 meter runner in athletics Charlton Kerr that was all about power bursting through tackles having a Big Bopper on the fringes like that don’t make a big difference to see where Robbie Ferguson goes with this restart one of the best restarters in the business trusty left foot high for Glover to chase but just a little bit too fast so Cito could bring it down for the cranes of Uganda they got a busy couple of weeks they’re off to the Africa sevens in macius next weekend this Ugandan team that’s a qualifier for the Challenger Series next year so lot’s going on in Uganda rugby Sevens at the moment women’s team here as well of course but here’s Chon Cur again for Great Britain trying to skip through the defensive line good tackle from Cito quick hands and beretto that laser-like pass of his to Ferguson now McFarland good to see him back he picked up a hand injury so he he didn’t see him in Madrid in the final event in HSBC SS last season here’s wlon shaking off that knock Good carry Clover to C he’s got a double chelon C another very efficient try for Great Britain 10 nothing now composed work by Great Britain Charlton cerr is paying really well this weekend I believe that’s his third try second in this game he’s a powerful man out in that Wing but all the work is coming from the inside players berto’s whipping balls across Max McFarland brought in the carry very composed and they whipped it back to the other side of the pitch brilliant stuff out of GB baretto kind of had the extra two on that occasion as well but yeah Cur some good support here for the Great Britain team it’s a potentially just a massive weekend isn’t it get the result in this game they know they’re going to be playing a cup quarterfinal on Sunday morning you win three games on Sunday you’re off to the Paris Olympics that’s the prize but there are some huge contest down the line for Great Britain but they’ll be focused purely here on Uganda it’s been a good start for Great Britain now uganda’s first genuine opportunity with the ball in hand here’s M Captain into contact there and Roy cazito up to the halfway line jamy B’s held him up well but he’s got his knees to the floor so the tackler then has to release manani again walk inside to manani two tall players there working in tandem saw Philip Walker here the number five who plays his rugby for oans in France fully professional playing in the French Club system here’s Jamie Bon as GB got the ball back over the 10 meter line Ferguson at scrum half out Pace here is Glover he’s seen a gap as well Harry Glover likes to scoop offload as well back to Fergus and that was nice and here goes Charlton Kerr on course for a triple dots it down a first half hattrick for Charon K four Troys already in this weekend three in this game and the first one of the issues this season Great British they’ve not had much time together as a program scattered all over the UK they’ve had some funding issues as well but because the the season ended the way it did Singapore where they saved their core Nation status and then that Madrid event and now here here in Monaco they’ve had some quality time together and you can see the advancement that this GB team have made here ahead of this crucial repent they’ve got a penalty here as well you’ve hit the nail on the head there Rupert it’s all about time together these guys are coming from different countries all around Britain and if for only training every few weeks you’re not really building those Partnerships and those link plays that you need to have to win a tournament like this Olympic repage so they’ve had a few weeks together and you can see it’s paying off so far that uh down being down to 11 players hasn’t seemed to have affected them at all in this game because this has been high quality stuff so far from the likes of Berto and GB throw to this line out stay there K in the middle of the lineup Glover the center here he is getting the ball from Ferguson there’s that offload again but this time Robbie Ferguson can’t hold on to it frustration for the captain he holds his hands up says sorry fellas we’re go half time have a chat about that but a good first half from Great Britain here against Uganda they lead it by 17 points to [Music] n Harry Glover there his family’s here as well e e the pupping guineans men and women couldn’t travel to this tournament so couple of the pools down to three teams so saw Hong Kong China men earlier had to wait 24 hours to make their entrance into the tournament not so these two teams this is their second game of the weekend Great Britain they can finish the job here they’ll be looking forward to cup quarterfinals tomorrow but you want to get as many wins and points as you can because it’s all about seeding top seed plays eighth seed in those crossover games on finals Day Good carry over the halfway line for Uganda they got a penalty as well good start from them here here can they make something of it norber oenny wants to get a rle on buten oh that’s frustrating has to go back and take it on the mark there’s the table as it stands you see Canada with the win in the previous game over China they’re through already see the points difference very close just five points in it between Canada and Great Britain as things stand remember top two teams automatically qualify plus the two best third place finishes across the three pools another decision here for Uganda you have to tap it you can’t just run no no no no back to the there you go there’s the mark AJ jackobs is is explaining you can’t just pick it up and start running I need to see it the ref’s been all over that this weekend you must tap it from the spot and the ball also must be out of your hands or tap it out of your hands so Uganda looking to use some width here is manani again turn har Glover he’s got his hands on the board he smuggled it away play on says the referee beretto can fling it out to weton now ker got a hattick in the first half Good Feet from Ferguson stands in the tackle but the pass isn’t where it was meant to go Ball’s loose again that’s a bit messy from Great Britain we saw none of that in the first half and it’s resulted in a penalty to Uganda they go quickly looking for their first points of the game long ball a Speculator into Midfield they got massive numbers you Uganda just put it through the hands they should be in business and they will be in business they strike first in the second half on the back of some GB erors Kazo has scored for Uganda Kito fighting back for the ugandans that was messy play by Great Britain and Uganda capitalized on it any one of three could have touched that down but he was thinking about the conversion afterwards and managed to step inside Harry Glover who was trying to cover three men conversion attempt coming in oh ricochets off the uprights remains at 175 Uganda fans enjoyed that reason to cheer reason to fly those flags the cranes are up and running here long time to go in this second half as well good score from Bartholomew cazito they call him Roy Roy cazito actually started playing rugby in London back in 2014 spent some time in the uh UK Capital we got the ball back here here they come again Uganda GB going to have to do some more defending here but the pass was just over the head of Walker how can he his time his turn to say sorry his putting his hands up apologizing there that’s level in this game’s the line but GB are LED off at one there there could have been two quick successive tries love the mental battles in this game Greg you go into the break 17 nothing up feeling really good about yourself if you’re not on it right on it start of the second half this is what can happen find yourself conceding points almost two tries against GB can they compose themselves here and get back to what they were doing in that opening half Bon gets it away to Homer fresh legs that could be the key here he had a good game yesterday cut the tries for Homer tries to get the offload away to Bon it’s gone forward just forcing that pass I mean it was on this great power by Homer here ball tucked under one arm trying to power through that defensive line he does well but then that’s the issue when you’re carrying the ball in one hand that can happen TB just need to cam things down here do what they were doing in the first half like their leader AJ was saying in halim in that hudle stay composed just get your connections I think they’re bringing them on here for the ball sare yeah what a play Captain of course this GB side Olympian from Tokyo hugely respected by his teammates lines up in this scrum as Cito feeds it good game of rugby sevens this 175 GB yet to score in this second half here come the cranes again through norber oeni from the heathens Club most successful Rugby Club in Uganda and a good opportunity for p so gaina there although the ball’s gone forward and now GB can look to catch Uganda on the Hop here Davis runs it into contact lays it back nicely for Beretta Max McFarland’s with him but that pass was a no looker and it went to nobody but fortunately for Great Britain they’ve got a penalty but again some of that decision making from Great Britain not quite where it should be spective pass there by Berto I think he knew they had Advantage they had a penalty coming otherwise he wouldn’t throw it like that what do you want a free hit we call we’ll give him a free play but he’s getting pulled off here now save his legs cuz he’s vital to this team as you mentioned ruper they’re missing Tom emry so they need Berto for this whole weekend Squad management is so important it not your B to Hernandez the Spanish coach how well they’re playing he puts it down a fitness he puts it fit he’s got his team being for this tournament this was always their target this season sit conditioning is just so crucial it’s been a long hard season on the series a big opportunity this weekend for Great Britain to get to the Olympic Games it’s Winner Takes all Remember All or Nothing a golden ticket to Paris is the prize that’s all going to happen tomorrow in The Knockouts but they want to finished the job here in their second pool game against Uganda they chip it through for will Homer two tries yesterday anybody’s ball Davis is there last H defense from Uganda and they get the ball away from the breakdown brilliant stuff from the African side right on their own TR line but it’ll be a 5 met scrum to GB the ball was bouncing everywhere there Robbie Ferguson pulling the strings putting Homer through he just couldn’t jump on that ball AJ I’d say was less than half a meter away from that line look at this great scoop that’s a typical skill to get down there pick it back up great work out of Ugandan flip over release and return the ball I mean you talk about Olympic stories Greg I know your one started here when you won this tournament what about Alex Davis I mean the week ahead of the Rio Olympic Games he gets injured misses the tournament absolute devastation but get to Tokyo 5 years later after Co of course and now he here isn’t this weekend trying to get to another one in Paris storied Olympic cycle for Alex Davis and they will get the try here Morgan Williams the Welshman goes in by the posts and with a minute to go that should be enough for GB way guys yeah easy try there by Great Britain straight off first phase they found that vacuum between the scrum and the first Defender if you’re able to utilize it you might as well send one of your strong boys down there and they did that with Morgan Williams tough to stop him from 5 Meers out number five five so 225 make it 24 with the successful conversion Morgan Williams from the abom Rugby Football Club and Port Albert also represented the Scarlets the West Wales region Ferguson sends it high 30 seconds to go now 245 GB we’ll try to pick up some more points here cuz points difference can be crucial in terms of the Crossovers who plays who on finals day currently as it stands Great Britain second in the group behind Canada despite this second win that’s because of the points difference there on on the right hand side of that graphic just three behind Canada they can th another try here they’ll be on top of this pull with one round of matches still to play loose ball Ross mcc’s away to it though he’ll be playing as rugby for Edinburgh in the united rugby Championship next season penalty Great Britain here’s the opportunity with the clock in the red what’s the play here Greg play here is you need territory but you also need to hang on to the ball so I feel like they’re going to go for a right field tap here here Robbie Ferguson has a ball in hand yeah it looks like they’re lining up to do a Tap Play Over load of that Far Side Morgan Williams is looming om on the cut here is Williams charges up to the 10 m line oh what a carry that is that’s the momentum they were looking for from the Welshman here’s Homer now Bon he’s got Davis who’s clapping his hand saying give it me but Bon decides to hold on and why not with a carry like that Homer has a look down the short side but then finds Ross mccan was a good idea but the ball went to deck still alive though for Great Britain here they come Williams McFarland you won’t stop him cuz Mad Max is in the corner and GB do finish with more points they will Top the group going into the final round of group games brilliant execution by Great Britain there all the way from that tap penalty inside their own half they go through the phases one little fumble there in the middle between M and Homer but that doesn’t stop them Max my IR land speeds her on the wing gets down for a five-pointer which is vital in the points difference is that right rert yeah Tom Emory watching on after that injury yesterday not the weekend he was hoping for but he’ll be thrilled for his teammates to have got the job done here against Uganda excellent first half slightly tricky start to the second but they’ve finished in style and they’ve won this one by 29 Points to five over Uganda Great Britain through to the cup quarterfinals okay let’s [Music] [Music] [Music]
