  1. So happy I decided to watch the end of this match on a lark. That was an insane ending, especially for a first medal performance.

  2. Absolutely insane play, can’t believe I caught it live. Go USA rugby! Would love for it to become a bigger sport here, such a fun sport to watch.

  3. Aussie women were mentally rattled after losing to Canada. They were openly sobbing at the stadium at the conclusion of the game. Don’t think they quite got over it and as a result had a lapse. US played a great game as well of course but the Aussies – who are world champs – absolutely cooked it.

  4. I’ve been absolutely obsessed with rugby since the beginning of these Olympics, so I’m so sad I missed this live, but what an absolute fucking display from the Americans. I knew the result and even yelled “GO GO GO!” watching this replay. Tremendous work!

  5. All countries in the semi-final played great! These women played hard and made an exciting game. This was definitely an Olympic high point.

  6. What a great game. I know the Australians are disappointed, but games like this are great for growing the sport.

  7. So many “I had no idea how the fuck this sport worked but I watched it anyway….and now I love it” stories in here

    If that’s not the point of the Olympics, it should be

  8. I gotta feel for Teagan Levi who dropped the ball in a crucial spot vs Canada and then missed the tackle on that last play. Nightmare scenario. Well done to the USA, on paper Australia should put on 30+ but this is why I love the olympics!!!

  9. Credit to u/kk451128 for American translation:

    >Your quarterback throws an interception returned for a touchdown to leave you down 6 with 5 seconds left.

    >You then return the kickoff 98 yards for a touchdown

  10. Our first medal in this event ever (women’s 7’s). This is real freaking cool.

  11. Kind of frustrating camera work in that clip. The double cut makes it hard to follow the full play.

  12. Great job our partners in North America!!!

    Wonderful to see both Canada and the US doing so well in the 7s at this Olympics.

  13. Loading USA Dominance for the 2028 Olympics. We have four more years to grow the sport and win everything. Time to start the NRL and make 50 Pro Rugby Teams. Let’s get this started America.

  14. This is the country’s first medal in women’s rugby sevens team. Proud of them.

  15. I wish Rugby sevens were easier to follow outside the Olympics. Its my favorite sport since Tokyo.

  16. our Internet went down for a minute right before this play. We came back to her running down the pitch.

    My god, what an exciting match.
