IRB Sevens – London: Blitzbokke TOPS!

Published 22 May 2011 | By superBul

Fiji (14) 14 / (10) 24 South Africa (Final Score)

South Africa’s Blitzbokke beat Fiji in the 2011 Emirates Airline London Sevens Cup final, a repeat of the USA Sevens final, after Fiji had beaten New Zealand 42-17 and Wales 21-19 respectively in the semi finals.

Scotland collected four Series points after a dramatic 21-19 victory against Kenya in the Bowl final. Samoa defeated London Sevens champions Australia in the Plate final as England end a disappointing weekend at Twickenham with some silverware, beating Portugal 22-7 in the Shield final.

Earlier, New Zealand were able to clinch their ninth World Series title after beating Argentina 31-14 in their Cup quarter final as the crowd exceeded 100,000 across the two days at the home of rugby.

Whoooooooooooo hoooooooooo

Excellent game, spot-on tactics by the Blitzbokke, totally flummaxing the Fijians after initially trailing 0 / 14, early on.

Bokkies using the breakdowns well, using a few 7-man lineouts and generally playing it very tight, mauling as a team… and executing to perfection.

@ grootblousmile:
Playing it at times like the 15 man game, booing did not put them off and a great win. Too late for the series but still a great performance.

Just watched the repeat of the game. Now why can Mr Treu come up with such sublime tactics now when it’s too late, but for the last 2 seasons the BlitsBokke have seemed to be tactically in the doldrums?
