Big chance for Samoa to impress and win some NZ passports.
New Zealand should take this one comfortably…. jeeez, just have a look at the Sout-Sea names and surnames in both sides… eishhh
Players out on the pitch.
Anthems
This is Samoa ‘A’ vs Samoa ‘B’. Samoa ‘A’ have kindly allowed some kiwi’s play in their team.
My Bru pick for this one is Baby Blacks by 25
It’s good to see some International rugby again… even if it’s only the Juniors….
Was a bit too much Super Rugby… we’ll all be hungry again for Super Rugby after 29 June
Not even Samoa B. 99 percent of the Samoans go to school in NZ so it is NZ vs the only school in Samoa or the guys who were not good enough to make it for NZ, the Colts, Super Rugby franchise or some England school team
Haka’s…
This should be a walk in the park for ABs.
4@ Just For Kicks:
Will answer you here as we on this thread now.
Ja I have some really old ones dating back to 1974 when we played the BIL here and 76 when Abs toured here. My recent one was the 2007 wc. Think it is time to get a new one. Think this good be a very good Bok Era we going into. We may not win from the start but we going to win most of it from next year. Just a feeling. Once Meyer gets to know which is his best team. Also I doubt he will hang onto players that are not playing well. So every game players will need to be at their best. Can’t wait to see our Boks again. Also that we are all one again. Jeez the fighting on keo from all supporters is just a let down really. We should banter but it should never go past that. So really looking forward to this 3 test series. Been a very long time since we had a tour. For me you can’t beat it.
9@ Puma:
meant = this COULD be a good Bok era
Game ON!
9 @ Puma:
Guess my 1974 Bokke jersey won’t fit… I was 10 then… hahaha
12@ grootblousmile:
haha. Mine don’t too but only just. I was 18…hehe. Jeez the years have flown by so fast.
Baby Blacks penalty… shot at goal
9@ Puma:Can’t agree more. Very excited about the weekend, and very excited to have a series. Raises the stakes so much higher, especially if the sides are fairly even. Bring on real rugby, I say. None of this S15 stuff, and WC rubbish. This is the real thing!!!!
New Zealand 3 / 0 Samoa
15 @ Just For Kicks:
I wish you guys could have been there at the Bokke team announcement presser, to hear how Heyneke thinks and why he chose who he chose…
Samoa penalty… way right of the posts
Wayward drop kick by Samoa
Samoa have’nt quite got the skill to take it all the way
20 @ bean1:
Are you back from the Mall?
@ grootblousmile:
Yes – and I can now watch the Juniors play – good stuff
Try – Curtis
Try NZ… Ambrose Curtis
It’s quite daunting to see what talent the ABs have got in their junior team – captain’s knee looks a bit dodgy though
NZ 10 / 0 Samoa
convertion over
looks like a beautiful evening in Stellers
Busy demolishing a whole tub full of Koeksusters…. freegin sweet tooth I am!
Lovely try New Zealand
