Did realyy well in the 7s.  I can't help but feel that Dan Norton should be changing into some running shoes and going over to the athletics stadium after today, he's rapid.

After losing eight games in a row, Murray has now won the last four to go a break up in the decider. Barmy game this.

Finish it please, Andy.

Yeah he's found his fire here. He looked deflated and beat a short while ago. I suppose it's the mark of how great a champion he is

Much as I love watching live sport the coverage from the bbc seems a little disjointed to me, I just cant seem to keep up, ie. keep missing things.
I may be missing it but are they not doing a programme at a decent time with all the condensed highlights?

They talked about the GB 7s rugby team showing the benefits of the psychological training they received. Can we book the Villa players in for some sessions.
Watching a team hold their nerve to come from behind, hold on and defend, and then see out the win.

How low have the bbc sunk!!!!!!!!!

They've just allowed Jason Kenny to say the word ARSE on a recorded clip! Disgraceful, I'm writing to Points Of View!
Disgraced, NW England.

Our sprint team just set the Olympic record in the heat!

Fantastic effort. They were considered as around 4th favourites
