The Commonwealth Games was underway and the first Rugby games of these games were on Saturday 26 July 2014.
All games were played at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow.
South Africa won the Gold Medal, New Zealand the Silver, Australia the Bronze!
Before the Final of these Games, New Zealand had not lost a single Commonwealth Games Sevens game… well, that record no longer stands.
The new Commonwealth Games Gold Medal Champions are South Africa’s Blitzbokke… for 4 more years!
It was a tough and physical Final, and New Zealand still deserve their plaudits for being the premier Sevens side in World Rugby.

Going out to the Gauteng Motor Show now for a few hours, chat later.
the Triathlon mixed really very exciting SA right back in it after a great run by Schoeman
England 40/0 Uganda, a lot of support for Uganda, a nice story with the Glasgow crowd adopting Uganda as a team to cheer for sounds like the Ugandan players loved hearing the support they got from the huge crowd when they played Australia even though they lost by far.
At last the first gold for SA at the Commonwealth Games
Zack Piontek- Judo men under 90 kg’s
Bit of controversy earlier on with New Zealand apparently bringing their player back on to the field from the sin bin too early in the game they narrowly won against Scotland, sounds like they didn’t wait for the officials, Tietjans just ordered him back on – naughty 🙁
Chad le Clos swimming on SS4 gooo!
Wales 29/7 Papau New Guinea

TRUE CHAMP!
sjoe great swim from le Clos… another gold
Next Up will be the Blitzbokke vs Cook Islands
@ robzim: Howzit Rob. Planning a ride in the wet tomorrow? Damn but today has been a disappointment. Need the fresh air in the winelands’ hills to smoke out that bad taste of negativity or what?
Ja. We still have some champs left in the shrinking bag. Thank F.
Blitzbokke out to 14 / 0 before halftime still
Senatla scores again.
Blitzbokke 19 / 0 Cookies

@ Tassies:
Hi Tassies,,, Ja, the weather kept me indoors too… was supposed to do a race in Tulbagh but pulled out as I “do not want my bike to be stuffed up by the mud”. .. hopefully it will clear up tomorrow afternoon.
I was not very disappointed that the sharks lost to be honest…. Stormers or nothing for me as far as Superrugby is concerned.
Half time SA 19/0 Cook Islands, 2nd half just started
Try Senatla!
Anoher try by the speedster, Senatla
TRy Cornal Hendriks
Cornal Hendricks scores under the sticks
Blitzbokke 31 / 0 Cookies
31/0 SA
@ robzim: Yup. Ride in this lot and one might as well cart the bus off to the bike mechanic on monday for an expensive brake refit. So fully understand.
Differ on the parochial front. I back SA. Regardless. Sharks spoilt my whole day today I have to say. I can tolerate a loss. But being smacked senseless like that was plain pathetic and a poor reflection of our rugby in general.
Hendricks under the sticks AGAIN!
Blitzbokke 38 / 0 Cookies
… and again… Hendricks…
Blitzbokke 45 / 0 Cookies
@ grootblousmile: Well…..ja GB. Can’t say I’m going to stay up and get excited over watching our boys beat the Cook Islands(FFS). How many people live on the islands? More than 30?
Hendricks having a good game, very strong running for his 3 tries
Senatla finishes it off with a hatrick of his own.
So, hatrick for Hendricks and for Senatla in one game!
