The Springbok Sevens will face their nemesis Fiji for the third time in a row in the quarterfinals of the Wellington Sevens on Saturday after losing their final match against New Zealand 19-7.
The Springboks have lost their last four games against Fiji, twice last season and in the quarterfinals of George and Dubai.
The Boks, will have to lift their game and beat the Fijians if they are to salvage any pride in the rest of the IRB Sevens series. Their poor performances in Dubai and George gave them nightmare draws in Wellington and next week in Las Vegas, where they have Fiji in their pool and New Zealand in the quarters if they finish second.

Dammit we play brain dead sevens this year. Time to get a fresh new coach with new ideas. This was poor from SA. We have the wrong players there , too light. Fiji had big fast players we had fast miniature players, well thats how it looked to me.

Morning superBul: SA 29-Canada 5
Wanneer word die plaatfinaal gespeel, of is dit al verby ?
SA Sevens…a bit of a joke this year. Lost third plate final in a row.
4 – Super…….hahahahaha. That was so funny boet, had a huge laugh there. “Fiji had big fast players we HAD MINIATURE PLAYERS” HAHAHAHAHA. Well said Super, funny man, but that is the truth.
Just red that we lost. Never saw any of the games. Got up to late this morning.
Now for the cricket. Openers letting us down, just hope Kallis and Amla can bat until close.
9 – Rugbal, That is for sure mate, we are just not doing it in the 7’s this year. Then yesterday we played really very well against NZ. Should actually have won that game. We were on their try line almost the whole of the 2nd half just to throw it away by messing it up. Also in the first half we could have had at least 2 tries instead we only got one. Players just not thinking on their feet.
10 – Before miniature should have said. “Fast miniature players” hahahaha. Super, still having a laugh there. Really funny. Actually to see Fiji they are huge, huge okes to our minitures…….hehehe. Will have to remember that one.
typo there. meant miniatures.
Grrrrrrrrr
