NZ reign in George
12 Dec 2009
New Zealand beat Fiji 21-12 in the cup final at the George Sevens on Saturday while the Boks faltered.
New Zealand controlled most of the first half and went into a 7-0 lead at the break.
The Fijians did well to get back into the game in the second half, but the Kiwis’ three tries to Fiji’s two sealed the win and secured the main prize.
New Zealand now have a healthy lead at the top of the World Series log with 48 points after consecutive cup wins, with Fiji second on 36 points.
Meanwhile, the Boks’ unimpressive World Series title defence continues, as they find themselves eighth on the World Series log on 16 points.
They had a bad opening tournament in Dubai as they finished second in the plate section and suffered the same feat in George.
After recording a 10-7 win against Samoa in a scrappy semi-final, Paul Treu’s men then produced a tired effort against England in the final, losing 21-7.
England had the clear upper hand in the first half as they easily outran a poor Bok defence and scored two converted tries for 14-0 lead at half-time.
The Boks continued to disappoint in the second half as they found themselves 21-0 behind when England scored another seven-pointer against the run of play.
Shaun Venter grabbed a consolation for the home side as he scored a last-minute touch down.
Earlier on day two, the Blitzboks suffered another cup quarterfinal exit as they lost 21-17 against Fiji.
Their inability to secure possesion at the breakdowns and lack of compsure in attack cost the home side as Fiji scored most of their tries thanks to errors from the Boks.
The home side dominated possession in the early exchanges and did well to work themselves into Fiji’s 22, but were unlucky when William Ryder scored against the run of play after an intercept break.
Marius Schoeman brought the home side back into the game with a good run into space, but Fiji extended their lead with another converted try and went into the break 14-5 ahead.
Early in the second stanza, it got worse for the Boks when Fiji broke through down the touchline to cross the chalk after stealing the ball from the set-phase in their own half.
A late brace from MJ Mentz created an intense finish as they Boks trailed by four points with a minute remaining.
South Africa, however, struggled to keep possession and conceded a penalty at a breakdown on the full time mark. Fiji cleared the ball into touch for a hard-fought victory.
The next tournament is the Wellington Sevens in New Zealand on 5 and 6 February.

Shield final: Scotland 28 France 19

13 Dec 2009, 15:13 pm

13 Dec 2009, 15:13 pm
@Porto:

13 Dec 2009, 15:21 pm

13 Dec 2009, 15:22 pm
@Valkyrie: MAN the f@ck UP ******.
13 Dec 2009, 15:22 pm
This is childish. I am not here to back up anyone, but I have a problem with people claiming to be SAPS when they are not. I’m not accusing you of that, just wanted to clarify?
13 Dec 2009, 15:23 pm
@WP Till I Die: and i told you before that whitey’s numbers started with 04 in the good old south africa.still in the reserve force?
13 Dec 2009, 15:27 pm
@Valkyrie: You’ve forgotten the number haven’t you? silly boy! or else were you fibbing? silly boy! I used to have feelings of inadequacy too, then I started eating Corn Flakes for breakfast. What a difference!
13 Dec 2009, 15:28 pm
Valkyrie, that’s right, I’m a reservist. You understand my concern about people claiming to be SAPS? I have no rascist brothers, the black, coloured and white policemen I work with get along very well, heck we even tease each other since we’re so comfortable with ourselves.
13 Dec 2009, 15:28 pm
Sad to see someone still trying to fight after the last bell sounded.
Even his buddies to ashamed to help him.
I see long hours in counseling (ie. Alcohol abuse ) for the poor sod
13 Dec 2009, 15:29 pm
@Karoolander: “to” is spelled “too”. Damned bantu education!
13 Dec 2009, 15:30 pm
@Porto: corn flakes didn’t help it seeems because you still stayed a silly racist ****!
13 Dec 2009, 15:30 pm
@Porto:
Ja i no ( sic ).
13 Dec 2009, 15:31 pm
@Porto: Joking
13 Dec 2009, 15:31 pm
@Valkyrie: But that’s why I eat them!
13 Dec 2009, 15:33 pm
This is pointless.
13 Dec 2009, 15:33 pm
@WP Till I Die: glad to hear that wp because you chaps are a great help although you get a few that uses the service as hobby to live out their fantasies.
13 Dec 2009, 15:35 pm
Valkyrie, too true. Some are corrupt. But overall the majority are there for the right reasons. Stay safe.
13 Dec 2009, 15:37 pm
@WP Till I Die: I’ve never seen any thread on this blog that wasn’t pointless. At least this thread is fun.
