The Third Tournament of the HSBC Sevens World Series 2011 / 2012, known as the Nelson Mandela BaySouth Africa Rugby Sevens tournament played on 9 and 10 December 2011.
This week the tournament was in OUR back yard, the first games started at 11:37 on 9 December 2011, SA Time. We only had a lively general Discussion Article and not a Live Article with Score Updates as the games proceed.
This was exactly that, the Discussion Article, here you will find all the scores.
Last week, the Dubai leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series went totally cookoo, with all the big guns falling out and underperforming and having ordinary tournaments by their standards.
This time New Zealand just pip South Africa to the post, winning the tournament in a thrilling Final, by 31 / 26.
The next HSBC Sevens World Series tournament will be held in Wellington, New Zealand on 3 and 4 February 2012.

A good conversion, and yanks equal
Nice vibe here at the stadium. 28000 tickets already sold for tomorrow!
Have to get here early to get parking. Hope SA don’t go out early or the final may be played in an almost empty stadium.
Yanks not playing too bad.
120 @ Just For Kicks:
I’m starting to worry about you!
Hahahaha
THats tied, and all to play for
122 @ Scrumdown:
The weather looking pretty miffy in PE too… think that will have an effect on spectator numbers?
Yanks take the lead!
Big scalp for the USA!
USA 21 / 14 Argentina
Why do you think I moved away from Seapoint, I was starting to worry myself! But all this country air has healed me completely, much to my wife’s delight
128 @ Just For Kicks:
Fark, so you almost became a boudkappertjie!
Bwahahaha
Slaapstad is a funny place.
@ grootblousmile:
It’s overcast and cool but no rain threatening.
If it’s not pissing down in the morning I think the Baaier Naaiers should come out
Bad luck Morocco, deserved a try there.
129@ grootblousmile:Nah, no need to worry about me really, never been near Seapoint, if there is a failing that I have, it’s probably that I’m too much of a homophobe really.
Warriors 72/3 after 19, all looking very pedestrian at the moment
Well played Morocco, gave the frogs a bit of a workout.
smallies @ 81
“as hulle nog nie wil hoor nie haal ek die donkie pi@l uit die kas uit”
..
oordryf jy nie nou ñ bietjie nie?
ek is seker dit kan nie sooooooooo lank wees nie!!
gbs @ 129
be nice!!
France 19 / 7 Morocco
WICKETTTT!! Kreusch caught and Bowled Steyn 23, 80/4. Great one handed catch
135@ Ashley:he’s just jealous!
135 @ Ashley:
Nou wat nou, ek is mos nice!
Boucher misses a stumping chance against Prince – could that prove costly?
…and the Scots are getting pummelled
Last night I was sitting on the sofa watching TV when I heard my wife’s’ sweet voice from the kitchen. “What would you like for dinner my Love? Chicken, beef or lamb?” I said, “Thank you, I’ll have chicken.” She replied “You’re having soup, asshole. I was talking to the cat.”
Die dogtertjie klim boom saam met haar nefies. Haar ouma kom ontsteld uitgehardloop. ” Haai my kind!”, gil sy. “Ek het mos gesê jy mag nie boomklim saam met die seuns nie.” “Maar hoekom nie oumie?”, vra die dogtertjie. “Want hulle kyk vir jou pêntie!”. “Nee ouma, ” sê de dogtertjie met ‘n groot smile. “Hulle kan nie. Ek het my pêntie uitgetrek!”
Koos walks on his farm and sees someone drinking water from a pool of water, he shouts: “Moenie die water drink nie dis vrot en vol kieme!!!” The man replies: “Sorry mate I am from Australia, I only speaks english” Koos replied: “Use boff hends, u can dwink betta then!”
this one is age restricted, so be warned!!

Kinky new Sex Position – The Rodeo:
She on her hands and knees. Mount from behind, arms around her, cupping a breast in each hand. Whisper in her ear: “Mmmm they fell just like your sister’s”
Try stay on for 8 seconds.
gedagte vir die dag:
..
Die lewe is soos breiwerk. Eers as jy klaar is, kom jy agter hoeveel steke jy gemis het
NZ win it with only 6 on the park. the picts looked hopeless in that match
145@ Ashley:My wife doesn’t have a sister, what a shame, sounds like a good challenge.
Prince keeping the Warriors in the game, 106/4 now after 25, but is a very slow rebuilding process at the moment
When Afrika’s in the mood, he’s sublime. Good to see him back
