SA 7s draw Kiwis for Dubai

26 Nov 2011

The Springbok Sevens and New Zealand have been seeded in the same pool for the Dubai Sevens next weekend.

Fiji’s 26-12 victory over the Kiwis saw the defending World Series champions drawn as the top seed of Pool B. The Blitzboks finished third, but France and Wales were the lucky picks from the Cup quarter-finalist bag to be the top seeds of Pool C and Pool D respectively. USA and Portugal complete Pool B.

Gold Coast Sevens champions Fiji find themselves with Pacific Island rivals Samoa in Pool A, along with Argentina and UAE. Pool D is the toughest group of the competition as Wales, Australia and Scotland will be competing for a Cup quarterfinal place.

Dubai Sevens pools:
Pool A: Fiji, Samoa, Argentina and UAE
Pool B: New Zealand, South Africa, USA and Portugal
Pool C: France, England, Kenya and Zimbabwe
Pool D: Wales, Australia, Scotland and Canada

    And there will always be a South African trying to find a reason or an excuse as to why there team is really not good enough.
    I mean come on, not once did any team deserve to beat the boks.
    The Boks played bad is the only reason why the other team won.
    Been here to long to know exactly how it goes down.

    @Hurricane(Hurricane)-7: And we hear exactly the same kind of stuff from Kiwis when you guys lose so yiu can can the “Holier than thou ” bollocks. If the Saffa reaction is really so immature for you, you can do the grown up thing and stop coming to this site. The reason I don’t visit Stuff.co.nz is because all the kiwi bitching about things that don’t go their way is of no interest to me, but i don’t go on there and have a go at them about it. I know that it is natural to justify why your team loses. Every group of supporters does it. The greater the expectations of your side the more reasons you look for when they don’t succeed. I hear plenty of krap from my kiwi mates when their teams go down. I accept it because I know how they feel. What i don’t accept is when they try to act as if this is a Saffa thing. If you can’t kid yourselves don’t try kidding us.

    I say it as i see it.
    If you have a problem with it then so be it, no skin of my nose.
    I was in fact commenting on #2 and #3 as i have heard it so many times before, what is it over a month now. And remember the abuse we got in 2007.
    So although i agree with your post, maybe a few of your mates in Keo should read it as well.

    And out he comes from the the little hole in the wall.

Keo.co.za has always promoted uncensored views, but has never tolerated racist or crass outbursts. Come on guys and girls. If you can't moderate yourselves or each other then I am going to be forced to regulate the posts and enforce a registration process for comments. The choice is yours.

Have your say
