I also can not imagine why a player would play vodacom cup rugby rather than national sevens. Maybe he was promised a place in the super rugby squad. Come to think of it, why is there even such athing as vodacom cup? Methinks it would be much better for SA rugby to scratch that competition and invest the money in club rugby. Clubs are dying all over the country and dragging down SA rugby with it.

I agree with Oranjebliksemblou. Sometimes these ‘ hacks ‘ that report need to choose there words more carefully. The Blitzbokke had been plagued with injuries and agreed faired poorly but to use words like pathetic isnt called for. I wonder if youd use the same rhetoric to their faces ??? In fact I wonder what level of rugby Mr Gareth Duncan has ever played. If youre going to be critical make it constructive. Instead of just bagging national players who Im sure do their best when wearing a national jersey. Something you would not know about

I see Keo is being their own self again, very predictable. Why is it that when the aussies or kiwis are hit by injury its the first thing keo points out because lets face it, if it was any of those two teams the headline would look somthing like this “Injury hit aus/nz beaten by samoa” but because its the Boks they are pethetic, which makes me wonder why are there so many South Africans on a site that clearly does not support the Boks? Yes the Bok 7′s were well beaten but compare this article to one that would have been about aus or nz should it happen to them and you will find the articlle will be in stark contrast.

Those arrogant Samoans must think they own the game. They deserved the victory at RWC too until the ridiculous RC let the PrickBoks off the numpty hook.

I have to question thsi hogwash about True having a brilliant sevens brain. Yes he won the title a couple of years ago. So what.

If he had a brilliant rugby brain he would have been able to work out system that work and can be easily understood and followed by rookies too., or would have the backup squad well versed in his systems.

The more I see the BB’s playing, the more convinced I am that the series win was a flash in the pan, and down to him having a very special group of talented ball players that made stuff happen for themsleves. If SA doesn’t have enough flanks with speed AND ball playing ability to be able compete CONSISTENTLY at sevens, then NOBODY does. The fact that we dont dominate consistently is a failure. The only reason that I can see for this failure is the coach.

Too many Orks no surprise here… Treu has had his time… Olympics around the corner… fresh coaching team in that can utilise the veritable smorgasbord of bigger, talented, loose-forwards RSA has…

Or else simply be content with making the plate finals more often than not… as Treu is with his Orks…

Nz sevens successes throughout the years have one consistent theme…Coach Gordon Tietjens……his name should be recorded on NZRFU balance sheet…….then we will show a profit every year.

They are a good team. A poor performance for their standards. They have been getting worse as the year has gone on. Maybe they were a bit low on confidence. better luck next year.
