Bok Sevens set up Kiwi clash

Bok Sevens set up Kiwi clash

14 Feb 2009

South Africa will face New Zealand in the Cup quarter-finals of the San Diego Sevens.

Paul Treu’s men topped pool A with a 100% percent record while the Kiwi’s were stunned by Kenya in their first pool game.

South Africa began the day with a 22-7 win over Australia. They followed that result up with a convncing 29-12 win over Canada while they just managed to edge out the USA 15-14 in their final group game.

South Africa will be looking for some revenge after New Zealand knocked them out of the Cup competition last weekend in Wellington.

Samoa shocked England in their first game and went on to top their pool while Fiji were the only other team to win all three of their pool games as they set up a quarter-final clash with England.

Cup quarter-finals :

South Africa vs New Zealand
Fiji vs England
Samoa vs Argentina
Kenya vs USA

    Kenya, after whacking SA in Wellington, have now clobbered multiple-champ NZ by a comfy 24-7 in San Diego!!!

    What on earth IS the world coming to?

    Andew, if you’re not interested in Sevens, let someone else watch the games and then write the articles. The USA game was the opening game, Australia last. It’s clear you only looked up the results on the IRB website, and you’re so slow that you missed the fact that the results are in reverse chronological order (there’s a handy time column though, but that was a bit much for you apparently).

    nothing.
    kenya beat the boks by one score but the all blacks choked yet again.
    24-7 does not give the all blacks a good look.
    o ja,there is a worldcup coming up so the choking is starting already.

    For those who understands rugby: The Kenyans are big, strong and fast, in other words they are very talented. The lack skills and fitness most of the times. If they can overcome these shortcomings they will be very competitive most of the times.

    So we face NZ in the 1/4′s again. Hope we play better than we done against the States. Only beat them by one point.
