Smit, Joubert complete Sarries rout

Smit, Joubert complete Sarries rout

14 Nov 2011

GARETH DUNCAN reports on the Saffas who impressed in Europe over the weekend.

The English Premiership, French Top 14 and Pro12 were all on break as the top northern hemisphere clubs competed in the European Cup.

Retired Springbok captain John Smit came off the bench in the 58th minute to make his debut for new club Saracens in a 42-17 mauling of Italian outfit Treviso. The reserve hooker featured alongside fellow Saffas centre Brad Barritt, scrumhalf Neil de Kock, SA-born English prop Matt Stevens, starting hooker Schalk Brits, No 8 Ernst Joubert, Stromers-bound prop Deon Carstens and flanker Justin Melck in the match 22.

Smit and Joubert scored tries in the final quarter to seal the convincing win for the English champions. Former Cheetahs and Stormers flyhalf Willem de Waal added two conversions and a penalty for Treviso.

Lock Johann Muller and No 8 Pedrie Wannenburg were key in Ulster’s 16-11 win over flanker Gerhard Vosloo’s Clermont. Especially Muller, who made the most tackles in the match (12) and won eight throws in the lineouts.

Front rowers Wian du Preez and BJ Botha packed down in Munster’s 23-21 win over prop Brian Mujati’s Northampton Saints. It was a major win for the former, who edged ahead three minutes into injury time as flyhalf Ronan O’Gara slotted a late drop goal.

Prop Heinke van der Merwe and hooker Richardt Strauss featured in Leinster’s comeback as they drew 16-16 with Montepellier after trailing 13-3 at the break. A last-minute penalty from pivot Jonny Sexton forced the stalemate.

Bok flanker Francois Louw delivered an impressive individual display in Bath’s 26-21 defeat to Glasgow. The 26-year-old Louw gained 44m in his five ball carries, made the most turnovers in the match (3) and made 11 tackles, not missing one.

    I can just imagine how Pieter gets his exam paper. He probably waits until the invigilator is about to hand it to the guy in front of him and then he sprints through trying to intercept it…..

    Nope. Educated through and through.

    2 degrees and various post grads nogal.

    None of which compares to the “University of Life” that I’ve been learning from for the past 40 years of course… ;)

    @Helen(Helen)-155: That’s very funny. You forgot to add the chances that he’ll trip over his own feet trying to return to his seat of drop it at the last minute though….

    @Gunther(gunther)-163: Um, which stool pusher at Fabiani? There are a few now that you mention it…

    He kept asking me to go back to get my pants fitted. Stange. Oh well…..

    @Helen(Helen)-164: LOL thankfully never been called a nerd.

    I’m a Northern Suburbs (in Cape Town) gangster which means when I change out of my Fabiani suits I rock stokies wiff socks, a Peetee short and a white short sleeve shirt (tucked into the Peetee short of course)…..

    Chicks digg it.

    On special occasions i haul out my green “crocks” (the Shoe City version because I’m too cheap to buy the proper ones)…

    I wouldn’t expect you to tell me.

    Next time you are out of your briefs on his yacht be sure to send me a pic though…..

    i would venture to ask if it’s that AMWAY guy who berths that great big yacht in the Waterfront harbour but I doubt he’s that respected. ;)
