Sevens Boks storm into quarters
20 Mar 2010
A dominant Springbok Sevens side thumped France 38-0 to qualify for the quarter finals at the 2010 Adelaide Sevens.
The reigning World Series and Adelaide champions walked away with a clean sheet for the second consecutive match, 2 points shy of repeating their 40-0 drubbing of Japan.
South Africa again put six tries past the opposition, an early double from Ryno Benjamin, tries coming in the 13th second and 5th minute of the first half, breaking the back of the French defense.
Nineteen year old sensation Sampie Mastriet, picked up another two tries against the Parisians to make him South Africa’s second highest tryscorer.
The Boks will take on Samoa shortly, which should prove more of a test for what has so far proved exemplary defense.
Summary of Results
Samoa 54-5 Japan
South Africa 38-0 France
Fiji 41-0 PNG
Kenya 19-5 Wales
New Zealand 26-0 Tonga
Argentina 14-7 Scotland
England 38-0 Niue
Australia 36-0 USA

Sampie Mastriet is excellent. You can see he is a Bull.

@JustAnotherFan: Although you can’t use Bull and exemplary defense in the same sentence!

Mastriet played his school rugby in the Boland.

SA and Somaa played to a 12/12 draw in the last pool game. Mastriet scored another try. Apparently SA tops pool B.
Mastriet is playing in a green jersey, forget the rest.

@dWeePer: That is the norm i.e. adopt a kid from elsewhere and put him through the ranks. I am keen to see Sampie Mastriet playing senior rugby oneday (season or two).

SA v Argentina
Fiji v Aus
NZ v Samoa
The winner of SA v Argentina will have an easy game against Wales (unless they mess up against USA)
