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.

#153 Pietman:
Nee kom te min daar.
Ek het mos ‘n vriend wat van Lutzville af kom – woon nou in Durbanville wat ek altyd sien as ek in die Kaap is. Ek en hy en die vrouens was jare terug nog saam daar by Muisbosskerm. Maar die kinders maak dinge maar bietjie moeilik, veral met die jongste enetjie wat maar 2 is.
Jy weet self ‘n moerse gejaag dit altyd is

#156 Sheriff:
Ne, dit sukkel.
Jy onthou John Villet, die Springboksenter?
Selfde probleem, Divan is beide se dokter..
Snaaks hoe die lewe werk, die manne is fiks, oefen elke dag, in hulle 50′s, en dan skielik dit…..
Ewald het verlede jaar nog die Golden Oldies marathon in Portugal gewen.
Toe ek hom besoek in Februarie, toe is hy moeg en afgemat, hy kyk my so…’Ja, Pieta….hoe lyk ek vir jou nou…., ek is ****** moeg my bru, ek is ophgehardloop, en jy stap steeds aan en kuier!’.
Bel hom, hy sal waardeer, hy woon in Welgemoed.
5 Dec 2008, 17:36 pm
#156 Sheriff:
Bel Ewald, se Pieta in Korea stuur groete, asseblief.
Sien hom binnekort weer.
Hy en my partner John Villet het dieselfde probleem (die Springboksenter).
Ons het in Februarie bietjie gesels, ek en die maters, Divan is die dokter wat oor hulle waak. My pelle daai, saam gespeel en gehol destyds, en saam kuk gemaak!
Bel daar!
5 Dec 2008, 17:36 pm
OH MY LORD!! IS THIS DAY GOING TO END!!!! Wondering why Fridays go so slow,it’s a realy cr@ppy feeling knowing all mates back home are hitting the pub and still got two hours to go here!!!
5 Dec 2008, 17:40 pm
#156 Pietman:
Nee Pieter, ek kan mos nie nou die man bel uit die bloute nie.
Ek het ‘n beter plan, jy kan mos al jou rugby gabbas aan my voorstel as ek jou die dag ontmoet. Hoe klink daai?
5 Dec 2008, 17:45 pm
#161 Sheriff:
Bel!
Se EK het gese!
Laat jou seuns praat met die oom wat 5 SArekords op een slag gehou het….en vra hom wat oom Pietman vir hom gedoen het….
Doen dit asseblief….
5 Dec 2008, 17:50 pm
#159 Pietman:
Jy is die middelman Pieta, jy moet eers die kontak bewerkstellig dan is daar mos ‘n konteks.
Vertel jy my wat jy vir hom gedoen het.
5 Dec 2008, 17:52 pm
#163 Sheriff:
Ek vertel jou niks hier nie….
5 Dec 2008, 17:56 pm
#161 Pietman:
Wel die internasionale gehoor verstaan tog in elk geval nie, en die ander ouens is meestal pelle van jou.
Maar, as jy nie wil nie, kan ek jou mos nie forseer nie.
Dan vertel jy my mos maar net wanneer ons ontmoet, iets wat jy nie glo is moontlik nie, lyk dit my.
5 Dec 2008, 18:03 pm
Wel kêrels en veral Pietman, nou moet ek regtig waai.
Geniet die naweek!
(Daar is dalk mense hier op keo wat dink dat ek hulle nie wil ontmoet nie, miskien omdat ek dink hulle is rassiste of wat ookal. Dis egter nie so nie)
5 Dec 2008, 18:04 pm
#165 Sheriff:
Net om te wys, soos die ‘Vloog-storie’, en al die ander toetsies wat ouens hier uitgooi….as n man n ding se, moet jy dit kan staaf.
Dit is maar al.
Ek praat later weer met jou, dis laat hier.
Cheers.
5 Dec 2008, 18:09 pm
Hehe USA 28 Ozzie 26!!

#163 Sheriff: Nee, nie veel gedoen nie…vra maar net hoe ken hy my.

This is not the correct thread for this observation but nevertheless thought it may be appropriate to voice it out here
How you like that diabolical performance by the Baa baas on Wednesday?
Now I know this debate may have been thrashed out already but I reckon some overrated second graders might have gotten off scott free seeing as their intentions were to upstage and prove a point, its about time somebody called their hapless bluff and pulled some wool back from all the shrouded delinquent eyes around the place.
Jake White and Eddy Jones fluffed it big time on the supposed free range Barbarian stage, what was suppose to be a festival game of running Barbarian style rugby turned into a failed attempt to show the world how the two stooges with all their bridled blue eyed wonder boys would destroy the weakened Australian team.
How appropriate that divine providence or divine retribution happened to step into the fray, just as it did 13 odd months ago in Paris to dish these two some heady world renowned recognition, it now decides to set the record straight and even out all those ripples on the surface of the ego tract playing fields of mad hapless ambitions.
Half the SA players should not even have taken the stage, there are plenty worthy international stars who could have contributed a whole lot better, someone like Hernandez at fly half just as one example comes to mind, and Blair at 9, or Byrne at 15, and the young Irishman at 12, how about hooker, what on earth gets into these mad ambitious minds to play Smit and McCaw and Burger and De Villiers all in the same team, and then still lose to a bunch of rookies.
Yeah I reckon divine providence had its fair share of the dice thrown in this little shenanigan.
These two jesters were going to put the worlds best up against the mediocre Aussies and thrash them into eternity, and so try and prove just how wrong PdV has been for not playing Steyn at 10, or upstage him and show the dominance of the WC trailblazing stars over Deans’ young charges.
It all went tits up and pear shaped, and the good old leveler of ego’s came to the party big time and set the record straight, and showed again just how fortuitous their little twosome escapades in 2007 were.
It also showed when push comes to shove just like it has so many times before, that JW don’t have a clue, and that is the reason no wonder that he needs his pals out there to pave a way for a belated rugby coaching post somewhere in this minute shrinking rugby village.

#167 heckle_jeckyl: Hello Skops. Happy Thanksgiving.
5 Dec 2008, 18:56 pm
#167 heckle_jeckyl: Hello Heckle,I was there and I think you have to take into concideration the Babas had two practices,the team had a few “weak links”,I think George Smith and a few others were alowed huge liberties on the infringing deal.There seemed a few tired and rusty players out there.Schalk was his usual self and threw himself at everything and i think the young Ozzies deserve a bit of credit for being up for that game big time.
5 Dec 2008, 18:56 pm
#167 heckle_jeckyl: Skopskiet. I don’t see how you jump to all those ludicrous conclusions when the Baa Baas had 2 training practices before the game.
I don’t think that the loss magically means that JW and Eddie Jones “don’t have a clue” and all the rest you suggest. Given your well documented prejudices towards JW, your post is however very predictable.

Previous 7 results – Barbarians v Australia
1967: Australia won 17-11, Cardiff
1976: Barbarians won 19-7, Cardiff
1984: Australia won 37-30, Cardiff
1988: Australia won 40-22, Cardiff
1992: Australia won 30-20, London
1996: Australia won 39-12, London
2001: Australia won 49-35, Cardiff
Hardly a big surprise that the Barbarians lost…

#171 wooden spoon: I didn’t read anything in to the Boks loss last year and I am not reading anything in to the Baa Baas loss this year. They are festival games. Nothing more.
5 Dec 2008, 19:07 pm
#172 SodaJoe: Zigzactly.

#173 wooden spoon: I posted this on the Blackadder (great name) thread. Your thoughts.
So it’s -13C this morning and my brain still doesn’t work so well. So nothing has changed. Just goes to show you can survive any weather with enough booze to work as anti-freeze.
If I was in the IRB and such like gin-swilling, whiskey sniffing brandy & coke quaffing climes I would do some of these things:
Can we please have one set of global rules.
Can we get closer to a harmonized season so we don’t have to put up with fake tours in June.
Can we look at the points scored as an opportunity to reward tries more (and stop Frans Steyn from perpetually drop kicking)
Why not have a Champions League for S14 & Heineken/Guinness/Magnersetc top 2’s
A World Series involving the 6N & 3N + Argentina (and adding Argentina to one of 6 or 3N).
Get 7 a side in to the Olympics.
And a sincere and honest energized attempt to take rugby truly global.
And take SA to task for continued political and racist interference in the game.

This is becoming a tiring and thankless crusade but nevertheless lets keep the objectives sharp and clear.
#169 oxfordshark:
#170 wooden spoon:
All the more reason for playing international stars like I suggested and not these overplayed and tired 2007 WC stars like Smit, Burger, De Villiers, McCaw, Du Preez, Burger etc, etc
This was a failed attempt at a claim for recognition and an opportunity to upstage current Springbok coaches as out of their depths
It turned full circle, the upstage backfired through the wrong choices of personnel, Steyn, FdP the two worst culprits, Smit, De Villiers, McCaw not much better on the day.
Also had PdV been the coach of that arsenal of players and lost, can any one of you imagine the incessant outcry for blood and guts for garters on these threads, instead you indoctrinated bias filled hypocrits can’t see the reality of the situation.
Last years thrown together Baa baas taught JW a lesson in continuous creative rugby, this year he tried showing the world how the big deals go about decimating an ordinary Aussie team.
Well in the final analysis guess who the joke is on, and guess who comes up showing what a dire useless palooka he is once again?
PdV, Gatland, Deans, Haddon, Mallet you name it, any one of those coaches with that amount of fire power and talent available would have destroyed that Aussie team, not so the two WC winning delinquents, they showed exactly how not to go about a Barbarans game.
They went out their with all guns blazing to show the world what it had been missing since their self created absence, and in the end the reality bit home deep. These two were pretty lucky previously and sometimes luck like lightening don’t always strike at the same place twice.

#174 SodaJoe: Hehe.Soda,reacon all but the last one are do-able!!
5 Dec 2008, 19:17 pm
Skopskiet reckons #167 “These two jesters were going to put the worlds best up against the mediocre Aussies and thrash them into eternity, and so try and prove just how wrong PdV has been for not playing Steyn at 10, or upstage him and show the dominance of the WC trailblazing stars over Deans’ young charges.”
#175 “This was a failed attempt at a claim for recognition and an opportunity to upstage current Springbok coaches as out of their depths”
Really? Reeeeaaaallly? When did JW and EJ state that they wanted to upstage or prove PDV wrong? What a ludicrous and insecure notion.
Rather ridiculously it seems, a select core of bloggers seem to equate anything and everything these days as an attack on PDV… It’s time people started to realise that the whole world isn’t out to get PDV
5 Dec 2008, 19:20 pm
#174 SodaJoe: Excellent suggestions, each and every one of them! The IRB could do with your services.
I’d also add:
Please can the Lions move to/build a new stadium in the leafy suburbs.
5 Dec 2008, 19:21 pm
with that observation and synopsis I leave you hopelessly flawed and awed disciples to chew on that cud hard
Had PdV been the coach of that crowd of Barbarian players and lost, I have absolutely zero doubt its you very conveniently hypocritical excuse makers that would be lining him up in your sights of indoctrinated bias filled bazookas.
like I said chew on it hard and if you find it difficult digesting it, its not so much the content of the cud thats disturbing you, its the lack of objective digestive tract that is embowled within your bias lined bellies.

5 Dec 2008, 19:23 pm
As I said,it looks like some people have been in the pub a loooong time!!!
5 Dec 2008, 19:25 pm
So what is going on with the 7′s
The convicts losing to the USA ~ LOL
The Pathetic Scots with a upper case “P” going down to Mugabe’s men ~ LOL
and Wales getting a rugga lesson from Kenya and the Porra’s?
5 Dec 2008, 19:25 pm
Insecurities are flying around all over the place today (albeit from one source)!

5 Dec 2008, 19:31 pm
Bob Skinstad and Rob Fleck have pioneered a new brand of rugby
CT10′s ten a side rugby 10 minutes a half, kicking off at Hamilton’s RC in February 2009
George 7′s will be down to Fiji, NZ or SA once again, maybe England get a chance to do a little upstage of their own like they did in the desert.
5 Dec 2008, 19:31 pm
#175 heckle_jeckyl: Why would you want to be on such a futile “crusade” my friend. Not worth it. It’s in the past, long past. Lot of rugby to be played this coming year upon which fresh grass cud you can chew.
5 Dec 2008, 19:32 pm
#178 wooden spoon: The curse of Ponte Towers needs to be lifted I agree.
5 Dec 2008, 19:45 pm
#177 wooden spoon:
One does not have to say anything publicly, all you have to do is think it and try acting on it. The obviousness of the intention is pretty loud and clear to some, obviously not to those blinded through indoctrinated perceptions.
It hardly takes any little analysis to see very clearly how certain minds in this world think, you may believe in your poorly defense oriented misrepresented blind observations that there was no ulterior intentions in selecting a team with half the WC winning boks in it and Steyn at 10 as well as McCaw and Smit and Burger and Collins and Botha all going to hammer the weakened Aussies into submission and oblivion.
The egocentric intentions are clear as daylight to those willing to open their non White washed eyes, obviously those of you who prefer to remain as blind as dumb *** bats, be my guest.
5 Dec 2008, 19:49 pm
#188 heckle_jeckyl: You really are a funny man! Have you considered a career in humour? Sometimes I wonder if all of your posts are said with tongue in cheek. I suspect they all are, because no sane person can jump to the wild conclusions that you do!
Later funny man, I’m out.
5 Dec 2008, 19:54 pm
#188 heckle_jeckyl: Jeeze Skop, you’re in danger of undoing a lot of PdV’s good work. Isn’t it possible for people to be fans of Jake and Pieter? Call them SA fans, there are plenty but I fear your crusade is causing a bit of an “us against them mentality” on this blog.
Take the high road.
5 Dec 2008, 20:04 pm
#190 Clanerk:
You reckon its not about ‘us vs them’ on here?
Where you been the last 10 months on this high road to hell in SA rugby circles and especially on such non biased open minded blogs such as these.
I’ve known for some time what drives some and what drives others, and contrary to popular perceptions it is very far removed from altruistic and selfless patriotic ideals. Try take a little closer harder look at what the underlying motives and intents are behind some pretty obvious attitudes and maneuvers.
5 Dec 2008, 20:30 pm
Evening everyone.. I see Matt Turner is part of the English 7′s team.
5 Dec 2008, 20:31 pm
#191 jerimiyah: I know exactly what you mean, I’ve kept my blogging on here to a bare minimum, it does nobody any good to be pointing fingers and saying “I told you so”, you’ll never change anybodies perception by pushing them into a corner and I’m afraid most on here battle to admit they were wrong, I don’t suspect making them wear the dunce cap in the corner is going to change that.
Feel vindicated, but it does no good rubbing it into every bodies noses, I’d love to do the same but it does more harm than good.
