Time is up… they take their lineout, kick out!
Blitzbokke are the Champs!
Well done Blitzbokke !!
Final Score: South African Blitzbokke 33 / 7 Australia
Heyneke is ook maar lekker dof….hy het vir Senatla tot sy beskikking gehad, maar nee……
@ charlesm:
Wat beteken CW, die span wat jy van praat op daai ander garing?
61 – 7 combined scores in the semi’s and finals (against NZ and AUS nogal!!) 😀
Marvelous stuff!
I think the Blitzbokke now leads the overall Points table too.

Praat jy! Hy is by verre beter as Habana, ook op verdediging.
@ Pietman:
Jammer man CW = Craven Week en AW = Akademie Week.
Sal so tussenin nog probeer post maar Charles gaan nou braai !!
I’ve been impressed with Werner Kok, Kwagga Smith, Afrika’s kick-off’s, Senatla…
Some great Sevens players

Him Pal.Thoroughly enjoyed that.The Irish.home of my forebears,use 2 words.The one,totally sanitised,is “Hi pal,can you direct me to??”
“Sure,go to the end of the fecking road,turn right,and you will see it in front of you”
Fecking is used in everyday language.Substitute the
“E ” with a U and the meaning and intent changes.
Well that was a FECKING good victory.Regards.Rye
@ ryecatcher:
And food for thought.The global game will be sevens
and not rugby.
Fantastic sounds like they played very well! Just a pity Scotland didn’t win a final too.

Really good to read that GBS when first saw the squad you posted thought that was a dream team attacking wise which is what 7s is about but wasn’t sure about the physicality and defence seems that was no problem too.
142 @ Bullscot:
Tackling is an attitude… and the Blitzbokke showed that in oodles and oodles.
Neil Powel, Blitzbokke coach, is doing very well, better than Paul Treu, I think.
Paul Treu on the other hand, now Kenya coach, has Keyna regressing rapidly and going down, down, down.
Well done BlitzBokke, a one-sided second half that was.
@ ryecatcher:
Hi Rye – you have a fecking good night now hey !! 😆
@ charlesm:
LOL You too pal
😆
Attachment:
Cecil, horne and Branco deserve celebrity status in this country.
Our defense was fantastic. Proud effort
@ nortie:
147 LOL DAN
Julpe praat baie oor senatla en hoe hy vir die bokke moet speel. Ons weet nie eers of hy volgende jaar super rugby gaan speel nie.
