The New Zealand leg of the HSBC Sevens World Series, in Wellington, was played this weekend.
The South African Blitzbokke started their bid to win a 3rd Tournament in a row in fine fashion, by beating Wales 26 / 0 and beating Portugal 27 / 5.
The Blitzbokke’s next challenge was England, and the game was won by England, by 19 / 5. Both England and South Africa advance to the Cup Quarters, England played Samoa and the Blitzbokke played Australia.
New Zealand comfortably beat France, 47 / 0 in the last game of Day 1, after earlier losing to Fiji, but also advanced to the Cup Quarters, where they played against Canada.
At the 2nd Day of the tournament, New Zealand and South Africa advanced all the way to the final, with Fiji beating England in the 3rd place play-off.
New Zealand won the final by 21 / 0 against the South African Blitzbokke, capitalizing on mistakes and shutting the Blitzbokke out in the 2nd half.

28 @ cane:
Yeah, smilies work here PLUS we’ve got our own set of great extra smilies.
Check here!
They are situated just under where you type your comment (Zaazu Emoticons)
@ grootblousmile:
Thank you for your warm greeting Groot.
It is more than I deserve.
Keo appears to have “sold out”, to SA Rugby Mag. Lock, Stock and all Smoking Barrels.
32 @ cane:
Make your contributions here, and if you do, I would want to make you an Author here, to cover more New Zealand Rugby for us.
I don’t hold grudges, Rugby-Talk has changed me a lot.
I have gone from Quarrelsome and Full Of Beans, to just Full of Beans… hehehe
… and rugby has become even more of a passion.
You’ll see, Rugby-Talk is a good place to be.
Same applies to other new additions to Rugby-Talk… make your contributions and you might just get invited to Author here! Rugby-Talk is for rugby supporters, from all over the globe!
First time on RT this year. So Happy New Year everyone hope it is a good one for all.
28 @ cane:
Howzit Cane, How you doing mate? Hope well. Left you a Birthday Message on Keo but think somehow with the new system there it got lost.
Welcome to RT this is the best site and hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.
34 & 35 @ Puma:
Hello Old Wobby-knees, welcome back.
People have asked about your whereabouts!
36 @ grootblousmile:
Howzit boet. Happy New Year hope it is a good one for you and your family.
Yip just took a break from blogging for a few months.
I joined RT for Bru for Super Rugby but somehow it is not showing my name there? Please check if I am on.
8 @ grootblousmile:
Could be better that we play Oz than Samoa later. Watched us against England and we were poor there this morning.
37 @ Puma:
Same to you and yours.
Will Check on Bru… did you join the Rugby-Talk.com Club in SuperBru too?
39 @ grootblousmile:
No never just the normal. How do I join the RT Club on Superbru?
38 @ Puma:
You are in Super Rugby’s Pool… you are Number 77 of the lot who have joined.
You must join our Six Nations & Varsity Cup Pools too… I see you did join the Club.
@ Puma:
I also left a birthday greeting for you.
🙂
42 @ cane:
Do you play SuperBru?
If so, join the R-T Pools… see Home Page, Righthand Sidebar!
42 @ cane:
Thanks Cane. I did see you message but not sure if you saw mine. As you know we the same age and our birthday is only 10 days apart, so never forget your birthday mate. Hope you had a big glass of red on me…
R-T is cooking on gas today with visitor numbers, the stats are going crazy in my Admin Sections!
42 @ cane:
You really gonna enjoy this site Cane. Hurricane also blogs here from time to time.
44 @ Puma:
Jeeez, is Cane THAT old…. and does he also need a walking ring?
45 @ grootblousmile:
Boet, Did you check if I am on RT Bru SuperRugby? Just looked again and it is still not showing my name there. Joined about a hour ago.
47 @ grootblousmile:
Hahaha. Cane never needs a walking stick, he has good knees…hehehe. We the same age boeta and born 10 days apart so we remember each others birthdays each year. Cane is like my blood brother from New Zealand…. 🙂 Born at the sametime and both rugby mad…..
48 @ Puma:
See comment # 41.

You’re in Super Rugby Pool, now join Six Nations and Varsity Cup too!
50 @ grootblousmile:
I okay will check the other page. Am I not too late for 6 nations as I missed last weeks first games?
@ grootblousmile:
You at home this weekend?
I need to get that nortebook of my daughter to you, but I’m working like a Trojan the last few days. (About time)
Wimen and spoilt brats are driving me insane!
51 @ Puma:
A Week late, what is that in real life… join up and play hard!
52 @ Scrumdown:
Yip, will be here tomorrow and Sunday.
Need to discuss something exciting with you anyway about Rugby-Talk and participation somewhere on special invitation. Meeting the organisers in less than an hour.
OK folks, see you later, have a rugby meeting some 40km away… at 14:30.
@ grootblousmile:
Okay will go join then.
@ grootblousmile:
I have neither the articulation or eloquence, (both words had to be checked in my Thesaurus), to be an Authur.
I am but a mud racker. A reactor. A passionate supporter of my own Teams.
Hurricane………………………………..He’s your man.
@ grootblousmile:
Cool bananas.
Will be in touch with you tomorrow. I’m on site tomorrow but fre Sunday.
Maybe I’ll blast down to the panne on the bike.
57 @ cane:
Then hope somehow we get Rugby Princess back here she used to do articles here for the New Zealand teams. Very nice lady that hope she comes back again.
Okay out of here now. Cheers everyone. Catch up tomorrow for the NZ 7s
