Hello hello…laat kom die kommentaar asseblieftog, ek sit by kantoor
England U20 14 – 9 Argentina U20
Score still Samoa 8 / 7 Bokkies, 60 min gone
Samoa scrum, on about their own 22, mid-field
@ Pietman:
More Pietman,
Ek kry die gevoel dat ons regtig net met een plan ingegaan het en dit lyk of ons hulle wou wys wie is die harde manne. Geen breins word gebruik nie
Bokkies 5m lineout.
This is it, they have to make a plan here!
I picked England by 33
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Esterhuizen, right next to the sticks!
Boom
Bokkies 14 / 8 Samoa
Dankie tog daar is n Shark wat nie moeg is nie. Mooi Bokke
Morning all looks like the young Boks are struggling here, although just before I got this typed see we have scored.
Samoa penalty, on the Bokkies 10m line
Saw some highlight of the game Samoa won against Scotland and they looked to me to be quite solid built guys, almost reminded me of watching a rugby league game though as many of them looked similar stocky build was hard to tell who was a prop lock or scrumhalf, well maybe that’s pushing it a bit but get the idea…
Missed shot at goal, 22 drop in
What was disappointing to see from Samoa at this level was a Scotland player dived over and scored a try and then the nearest Samoan who wasn’t in a position to stop the try dived on the Scotland player with his knee in his back after he had scored.
@ Bullscot:
something wrong with our passing. Dont know why but several passes are shoulder high or above when the tryline is begging.
Pollard misses a shot at goal, 22 drop in
106 @ Bullscot:
General Samoan modus operandi.
“If you can’t beat them, break them.”
I once got banned from Keo for calling them “Coconut Heads”, but truth be told, for the most part the Samoans are thugs masquerading as Rugby players IMHO.
Bokkies once again hold the Samoa maul up and get the turnover scrum
@ Bullscot:
Very sad to see.
see that france have lost against wales
does this mean nz will go through to the semis now
when I last checked I think france was on 9 points in their group? (not sure)
Jesse Kriel down, copped a big head knock
Jesse Kriel taken off
107 @ superBul:
Hi superBul makes it hard for the receiver who then needs to check his run to gather the ball and then loses space as this gives the defenders more time to get to him, ideally think the pass should be flatitsh and just around tummy height so the player can run on to it with pace and trouble the defenders more.
Argentina 16/14 England
6 Minutes to go
@ gunther:
Howzit.
Don’t you think we need our friend from Philly on this site just to lighten up things.
109 @ Scrumdown:
Hi Scrumdown, yeah I know there is this ‘history’ with the senior team it was just a pity to see it at the junior level
What a sloppy game by SA. I took time of to see a good running game , but this is super poor play. Mistakes , mistakes……….
