SA set up Dubai rematch

SA set up Dubai rematch

5 Dec 2008

South Africa will face England in the Cup quarter-final of the George Sevens on Saturday in a repeat of last week’s final in Dubai.

In the final match of their pool the Sevens Boks saw off the challenge of a tough Australian side to seal top spot. The Sevens Boks were 7-5 down at half-time, but fought back well in the second and tries from Rennie Dezel and Gio Aplon secured a 17-7 win over the Wallabies.

Earlier in the day four first half tries including a hat-trick from Robert Ebershon helped South Africa to an easy victory of Georgia, while two tries in either half was enough to overcome the USA.

In the other big game of the day, New Zealand came from behind to beat England to set up a clash with the USA, who upset Australia earlier in the day.

    Ja we need to keep the momentum of last week to win this week. This season can be our breakthrough season.

    Why dont the Unions also have a 7′s tournament before the International sevens series starts. It would be good warm up for the National sevens team and good pre-season training for the S14 squads. Who do you guys think will win?? I would have to say WP.

    That would be good, as for WP taking it. Cant say. although it seems as if the coastal cities’ players are more agile and not as bulky as their Cheetah, Lions & Blue bull counterparts. So yeah, could be. But am biast as I’m a Sharks fan :)

    #15 CypBok: Dont worry I am also Biased! The Cheetahs I think will ultimately take it. Just imagine R.Ebersohn, Juries, Kabamba, W.Pietersen, Jongi Nokwe, Trompie Nontshinga, Bjorn Basson, Tewis De Bruyn, Heinrich Brussouw, Meyer Bosman. JW Jonker.

    Just shows you the quality of the Samoan team, our poor team from Cyprus played Wales a couple of months ago in 7s, after having a small lead (7-0) in the first minute, we went down 42-7 to Wales.

    I am Cypriot, but born and raised in SA. Believe it or not, there are around 10 000 expat SA’s here, we have our own boerewors eating, rugby watching community here. Small SA. The South African Cypriots also started rugby here about 4 years ago, and their International team started last year. Our first game was against Greece last year May. Beat them 39-3, consisting mostly of SA Cypriots and English Cypriots. The Cyprus team have now played 6 Internationals, won 5 lost 1, our next game is tomorrow against Monaco, so hold thumbs :)

    Geez the All Blacks looked fantastic just now. Nigel Starmer Smith predicted last night they will win this one, and based on their showing against the Frogs just now he is not that far of the mark.

    Boks in 25 minutes. I might have another “meeting” in the boardroom with the big screen.

    Boks win opener, but looked like ****. poor contesting on the deck, and no vision on attack.

    South Africa should seriously get coaching from an expert touch rugby player. Someone like Errol Stewart or an aussie of sorts.

    At least my man Robert E scored yet another try

    Nee wat, ek is happy met die BlitsBokke. Al wat my pla is ons verdediging. Die ouens mis te veel one-on-one tackles. Behalwe daai een van Frankie Horn!!! En dan sal die ouens moet leer om so na as moontlik aan die pale te gaan druk sodat hulle dit makliker maak vir die verdoelskop

    Julle het moerrrrrrrr amper gister ‘n rugbyvriend aan die dood afgestaan………. ‘n Lorrie het my raakgery toe ek oor die hoofpad hier in Brakpan gestap het vanaf ABSA Bank na Nedbank.

    Ek was reeds oor die middellyn en was besig om te kyk vir aankomende verkeer om verby te gaan toe ‘n Vragmoter oor die middellyn beweeg het en my van agter af raakgery het……. my vir seker goeie 4 meter deur die lug geslinger het reg in die pad van ‘n aankomende Toyota Corolla…

    Ek het die Toyota reg van voor getref en af gebounce, op my rug op die teer geval en die Toyota het tot stilstand gekom met die bonnet en enjin so tot oor my knieë waar ek op die pad gelê het.

    Mens het net spanners sien trek….. Kamele hierdie kant toe, Zippo daai kant toe, en 7 stukke selfoon orals in alle rigtings, ABSA Depositostrokie daaaarie kant toe.

    Ek het opgespring en jouwaarlik lyk dit of ek niks gebreek het nie…….. net taamlik kneusplekke op my rug en linkerarm bo die elmboog….. en ‘n mooosa seer linkerboud.

    My wit hemp was geskeur en vol skaafplekke.

    Omstanders van elke kleur het my bestorm en beveel om te lê….. maar ek het geweier……. daar was ‘n skare mense…. hulle het my sypaadjie toe geboender en paar het my goed wat oral heen was opgetel en vir my gebring. Paar mense wou net ambulanse bel……. daar was chaos. Die mense het aangedring ek moet hospitaal toe….. maar ek kon voel alles is darem nog daar waar dit moet wees, ek kon alles beweeg….

    Kyk ek was natuurlik groot-oog en bleek, maar ek was so wakker soos ‘n rakker.

    Ek kon darem my selfoon weer daar en dan aanmekaar kry… en aanskakel.

    3 Vroulike sekuriteitswagte wat diens doen by die parkade bo op Nedbank se dak het afgesorm as gevolg van die harde klapgeluid toe ek getref is en my daar na hulle kantoor geneem, vir my gevra waar ek seer het en my suikerwater ingejaag……..

    Toe’s ek maar weer daar uit, Nedbank toe met my flenter hemp, my tjekdepositos gedoen……. toe is ek huis toe en het toe vir ‘n paar uur verdwaas gesit……. besig om te recover !

    Ek het gedog my hele lyf gaan vandag seer wees, maar lyk my ek is darem nog tough gebou…. en net so laat staan !

    Luister jy nou vir my. Gaan in elk geval vir ‘n volledige check-up.
