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.

209 @ McLook:
Hello McLook, our New Zealand Saffa friend!
OK, nou moet ek driveway bricks gaan oopgrawe, pype regmaak…. en dan die Six Nations goed doen.
Chat later, fellas & flatties!
@ grootblousmile:
Jinx2 his boet blogged a bit too…
Will chat to UFO and get him to return serve here. He writes really well and writes for a few sports magazines… Don’t know if you knew that…
213 @ Gumboots:
Did not know that Jinx’s brother blogged at Voldy, think if his name starts with an “R”, then I have relatively good mail contact with him already.
Did not know UFO wrote for a few sports magazines!
Get him blogging here, man!
213 @ Gumboots:
Oh, I saw your mails, will respond to them a bit later, after my chores.
@ grootblousmile:
Just sent him a mail… Yes it is him…
No rush to respond… Do what you need to do first…
Don’t want to come across as a whiner, but the last three finals have shown how negative the nz sevens tactics are. Kill the ball at every opportunity and offside at every ruck. Could end up with two guys left on the field if a strict ref is blowing. Can’t go on like this if you’re going to put an Olympic Gold into the sport.
That been said, we were miles behind today and they defended well.
216 @ Gumboots:
Your friend, Brumbies Boy, and a fella by the nickname of “shebeen” just registered…
Get more people to join, make the comments lively, make yourselves at home… adopting Rugby-Talk’s more friendly style and rivaly.
217 @ shebeen:
Hello Dop Shop, welcome to Rugby-Talk!

BrumbiesBoy

227 @ Gumboots:
I bet you the change from Livefyre’s kak commenting system back to something you know, is a relief too.
So, how do you find R-T so far?
Had a good look at the Main Menu Items, our SuperBru Pools (Home page righthand sidebar)?
228 @ Gumboots:
Thanks, I’ll send you my bill too… hahaha
@ grootblousmile:
No it is cool boet! Nothing better than good banter too… We were waiting for the final nail in the coffin… My final comment on Keo was ‘the end’… I think we will enjoy the rugby here. I enjoy banter with rugby – always good… Always a sport too…
228 @ Gumboots:
Fark, that busted pipe is not going to go away while I keep chatting here….
Chat later, hope all of you join for Six Nations this afternoon.
@ grootblousmile:
Bill… Pardon the pun as I’m really Bill Reyts 😉 my stage name…
231 & 233 @ Gumboots:
Rugby-Talk will be what you guys make it, it will be as active in the comments section as you make it.
We have built a fine community here, and the technical aspects of the site is in my capable hands.
Together, we can grow and enjoy rugby, our sport and passion.
Fire away, chat to all and sundry and your friends!
Bill Reitz, you say… are you in the entertainment industry?
@ grootblousmile:
Cheers I’ve been on KEO for a while so I thought I’d give this place a go
223 @ NZINCHINA:
Howzit mate, Good to see you here. Congrats to your team beating our bokkies today.
204 @ Gumboots:
Sorry was talking to you about your trip to Vancouver Bill then lost the internet.
See you had a great time over there. Yip Vancouver is always warmer during those months than Toronto, just more rain that side I think.
Yes, we MUST get UFO here, one of my favourite bloggers. Rye blogs here as well under the nic Grumpy so would be nice to see our good friend rye blogging here more often too.
235 @ NZINCHINA:
Good, make yourself at home.
I used to blog on Voldy (Keo) too, untill the fighting, racial slandering and politics chased me and a heap of others away.
Last time I was at Voldy was in July 2009, we started here in August 2009 and have grown from strenght to strenght.
235 @ NZINCHINA:
Another thing you kiwis will be treated with respect here. So you and all the others should have been blogging here a long time back. Hurricane does blog here from time to time, just need him to know more have moved over here and probably will see him here more often.
Did you ever blog years back when Rugby Princess blogged on keo? Well she used to do articles here as well. Have not seen here here for a long time so hope somehow she comes back too. A very lovely New Zealand lady and a Crusader supporter. Pleased to see Cane my good kiwi mate is blogging here as well now.
237 @ Puma:
Seems like we won’t have quiet times in the comments sections anymore, with all the “Voldy Animals” joining us now, en masse…
