Nelson Mandela Bay SevensThe South African leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series, was held at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth, takes place on 7 and 8 December 2013.

The tournament was played in emotionally charged circumstances after the death of beloved South African and world statesman, Nelson Mandela, who passed away in the night of 5 December 2013.

In these circumstances the open question was whether South Africa’s Blitzbokke could go one better than the previous tournament when they were beaten in the final by Fiji.

The question was answered… the South African Blitzbokke are the winners and title holders at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, Port Elizabeth!

    Well, that takes care of all Southern Hemisphere rugby for 2013.

    The NMB George 7’s Premier League tournament for next week has been postponed till January due to the week of mourning in SA.

    But, that’s not all for Rugby-Talk in 2013…. many things to come here in December!

    We will also be doing an in depth discussion of the South African Super Rugby squads and their players, position by position as from 17 December – 2 positions a week x 5 Franchises… which will occupy 4 weeks.

    There will be some Northern Hemisphere rugby, cricket…and general rugby news!

    Watch this space!
