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.

NZ 14 / 0 Blitzbokke
Not good news… Maybe a comeback on the cards…
In ons moer, end van die prent, ait tog….

Stowers gets the 3rd NZ try.
It’s all NZ
Blitzbokke came back in the last 2 finals from big deficits to win, but this is asking a hell of a lot to come back from.
NZ 21 / 0 Blitzbokke
@ Gumboots:
Flippin 21-0…1 minute to go.
No man Blitzbokke… kicking every ball away!
@ MacroBull:
And those aimless kicks by Du Preez…
NZ 21 / 0 Blitzbokke, Halftime
AG nee man…
Just testing the emoticons… 🙂
2nd Half will be a loooong 10 minutes!
Need to keep ball, set up phases… and score, score, score!
@ Gumboots:
Janee, dis n bietjie van n fokapie, behalwe as ons vinnig kan score..
2nd Half ON!
Goooo Bokke!
@ Pietman:
We cant help with the kicks. we cant run with the ball either as we cant play more than two phases without being pushed off the ball. we need some bigger okes for these guys. they are murdering us in the rucks.
Ag flok tog…
Eish man, time is running out….
@ MacroBull:
And the line-outs, shambles..
Eish, now a forward pass.
Morning everyone.
Hell we are poor here today. Was hoping for a better showing by our blitz bokkies.
164 @ Gumboots:
Howzit bud, really good to see you here.
@ Puma:
As Macrobull says, we are being overpowered by size here.
Off their feet… NZ penalty…
4 and a half minutes to go… NZ defending like demons.
@ Puma:
Hey Puma. How ya doin mate…
Bokkies need to score NOW
174 @ Pietman:
Howzit Piet, How you doing boet? Hope well.
Yes, Macrobull is correct. Still was hoping for a better showing by us.
It’s now too late, even if the Bokkies score
