They were gutsy. That referee was terrible. He made Ash Klein look fair and reasonable. If anyone missed it he called a non-existent knock on when we looked set to go up 14-5 then missed a 2m forward pass for a Saffa try. Then we got someone sent off. Remarkably we scored twice with 6 men to level up then lost after the bell.

They were robbed hard. That will be hard to get over, robbed of an Olympic medal by disgraceful officials.

And in the gold medal match the ref (an Australian) was also bad. Thought he was the main star, letting some quick taps off penalties and calling some back for being 1cm off the mark . Also re-packed some scrums!

No, it's just that the Aussies have won that event in 4 consecutive Olympics, same event but with different swimmers.

Australia's flagbearer Jess Fox has claimed gold in the Women's K1 - her fifth Olympic medal.
She sealed her place as the greatest womens' canoer in history after winning the only Olympic medal that has eluded her in two previous attempts.

WOW!!
Our Matildas, down 5-2 at one point, complete a 6-5 win over Zambia with a 90th-minute goal.
They staged a nail-biting second-half comeback in a pulsating match at the Stade de Nice.
