  Congrats to England on the win

  NZ don’t look the same side with 2 players out. Scotland will be interesting too

  Scotland so close to putting SA out at the end …. it remains SA vs NZ for a lowly plate

• 18.church - like chch but pronounceable:
  25 May 2008, 19:27 pm

  That was weird. A pitch invasion of about 15 people. Looked like a full on game mopping them all up

  25 May 2008, 19:32 pm

• 24.church - like chch but pronounceable:
  25 May 2008, 19:32 pm

  #21 CoachPete:

  An attempted very legitimate intercept

• 25.church - like chch but pronounceable:
  25 May 2008, 19:34 pm

  #23 CoachPete:
  No but they get more points than NZ or SA as they lost in the Cup semi-final.
  SA v NZ is the Plate Final

• 26.CoachPete:
  25 May 2008, 19:34 pm

  did not see it but depends on if it is slapped down or popped up. Position of the hands is important going for intercept

• 27.CoachPete:
  25 May 2008, 19:35 pm

  So will NZ still win the whole thing for 2008?

• 28.church - like chch but pronounceable:

• 34.skopskiet:
  25 May 2008, 19:50 pm

• 35.church - like chch but pronounceable:
  25 May 2008, 19:51 pm

  The 6 points that South Africa have earned is enough to keep them in 2nd place for now (until the final round in Scotland)

• 36.skopskiet:
  25 May 2008, 19:52 pm

  Oh well 6th is not that great an achievement after all, Fiji, Samoa, NZ, Argentina, England finishing ahead of us.

• 46.skopskiet:
  25 May 2008, 20:14 pm

  I found a TV 19-7 Samoa second half Samoa looking good to take this title

• 47.skopskiet:

  If these Island boys could develop some forward techniques they would all be unstoppable at the 15 man game as well, super athletic players with good running and handling skills to boot.

  Watch out for Fiji, Samoa and Tonga for 2011. Maybe they should combine to form 1 WC side to compete at WC 2011, they could provide guite a formidable challenge.

• 48.church - like chch but pronounceable:

  Unfortunite double dodgy tackles but all accidental …. game being played in good spirits. Long injury stoppage for sevens
