SA schoolboys bash France
16 Jul 2010
Craig Barry scored a brace in the SA U18 side’s convincing 25-5 victory over France U18 in East London.
The South African schoolboys made good use of the wind in the first half with Johan Goosen slotting five penalties. But it was in the second half where they scored two free-flowing tries to add to the 15-0 half-time score.
Barry rounded off both moves and the poor French defence wasn’t helped by a series of changes in the second stanza.
The SA U18s will now face Namibia on 20 July before tackling England on 23 July.

they didn’t play well though… I was quite disappointed! Paul Jordaan came in at 13 in place of Small-Smith, who pulled out because of injury. That Jordaan is a class act… Anyway, think they will play better in the next game

Its a bit of a misnomer to call the French side a ‘schoolboys’ side given that, for the most part, they dont really do School 1st XV rugby. Its almost entirely club based rugby at junior level in the Gallic nation. Which is a shame, school stuff is my favourite level outside Tests. Im sure every SA and Kiwi adult always listens out for that 1 result against their main rivals no matter how many years have passed. I certainly do (RED RED RED !!!)
Have your say
