Samurai scores last to win
Final Score: Samurai 29 / 14 Cheetahs
daar gaan juan frankryk toe eish ons het daai miljoen nodig gehad,maar die toernooi het nou mooi gewys hoe potent die cheetahs se backline gaan wees wk meen sarel,goose,ebersohn,sadi rhule,le roux daniller plus geel,piet van zyl,en benjamin,nou moet hulle net leer tackle
Well done Samurai, they deserved the top spot.
Samurai are the winners of the Final, the Cup and a Million Rand
OK manne, ons het net 9 nodig om hom verby 650 te jaag… en natuurlik is Rugby-Talk die wenners!
Well done Samurai. Hard luck Cheetahs.
Great tourney really enjoyed it. Hope from here we see many more.
So that is our rugby all done and dusted for the year. Eish is is a long time until Feb when Super Rugby starts. We do have the cricket coming up with Proteas and New Zealand. How I wish England were touring here, now that would be mouth watering.
@ grootblousmile:
Kry die cheetahs nie eers n sertifikaat vir hard probeer nie?
See Puma, the sun is out now in George… I know that area well, having lived there for 4 years
cheers manne , baie werk hier by my huis wat gou gedoen moet word
643 @ smallies:
Weetie… seker ‘n silver mug of iets
Yip Samurai were the best team through out this tourney. Well deserved.
608 @ smallies:
No Smallies. Will go back and find it and read it.
650
619 @ Sharks_forever:
For sure agree. If we want to be competitive we have to invest in 7s as well.
651
644 @ grootblousmile:
See that, but it was still wet under foot for most of today. Still a great tourney and really enjoyed it. More like a festive mood atmosphere. Do hope the carry on from this one and make it a annual thing each year.
651 @ smallies:
Smallies…….hehehehe. I am one step ahead of you all the time boet……. 😆
@ Puma:
Damm
579 @ smallies:
Thanks for that information on the Living Ball team Smallies. I sort of gathered that when they had the cross up with them after their game.
OK, I think the tournament was successful and could just grow bigger next time.
Well done to the organisers… just a pity about your crappy web site!
654 @ smallies:
I am just to quick for you boeta………
Well, I’ve worked hard enough here… you guys all owe me a Christmas present… hehehe
656 @ grootblousmile:
It was a great tourney. I really enjoyed it. Especially that there is no rugby right now, it made for good viewing. Even if half the teams were not up to standard. Plenty played some great 7s rugby. Samurai was top class to watch. All our teams will have to up their game next year if they want to win it. We have to have a proper 7s coach and they need to select proper. This too can only benefit us in the long run with our handling skills.
658 @ grootblousmile:
You sure have gbs. Well done great work on not only this 7s live game thread, but through out the year on all the rugby live games thread. Best site as I have said many times over the years for matches.
