Blitzboks finish with bronze
14 Oct 2012
The Springbok Sevens finished third after a 41-7 thrashing of Kenya on day two of the Gold Coast Sevens.
In the bronze play-off against Kenya, Cornal Hendrick starred with his second hat-trick of the tournament as South Africa cruised to a big win. Paul Delport also scored a brace, while Frankie Horne, Steven Hunt and Stephen Dippenaar also dotted down.
Kenya scored their solitary try via Oscar Ouma in the second half.
While the Springbok Sevens disappointed in their 21-10 Cup semi-final loss to eventual winners Fiji (who beat New Zealand 32-14 in the Cup final), it was an impressive tournament run overall and a positive start to the 2012-13 World Series campaign.
The next leg will be played in Dubai on 30 November and 1 December.
Earlier on day two, Fiji punished an errant Blitzboks performance in the Cup semis. Paul Treu’s team made too many mistakes on attack, while their defence leaked three tries for the Pacific Islanders to secure victory. It was South Africa’s worst performance of the leg.
Fiji led 14-7 at the break as Ulaiyasi Tavucuilagi and Joji Raqamate grabbed tries. Cecil Afrika’s score left the Springbok Sevens within reach at half-time.
In the second stanza, Fiji were reduced to six players as Ilai Tinai was yellow-carded for a trip. The Blitzboks camped inside the opposition’s red zone during this period, but only left with a Branco du Preez drop goal.
South Africa had their opportunities to search for what would’ve been a match-winning score, but they were restricted by a physical defence. Fiji then scored against the run of play via Tinai.
In the Cup quarter-final, the Blitzboks beat France 26-14.
South Africa scored two tries via Hunt and Kyle Brown in the first stanza to hold a 14-7 lead at the break. Terry Bouhraoua hit back for the French.
The Blitzboks cruised to victory in the second half as Afrika and Hendricks crossed the chalk. France grabbed a consolation try at the death via Renaud Delmas.
Blitzboks’ fixtures (Day 2):
Cup quarter-finals: South Africa 26 France 14
Cup semi-finals: South Africa 10 Fiji 21
3rd/4th play-off: South Africa 41 Kenya 7

@katman-98: this is the closest to a holiday home that snoeky will ever have.

@rangerman-101: Ha ha, doesn’t mean he can take a dump here with the door open.

A question to Mark Keohane: The Keo website is a business that relies on advertising revenues from other business for (presumably) a large part of its income. Is it good for your business to allow vile posters like Poltergeist and Heavens’ Game to post digusting comments such as those that appear on this particular thread?
14 Oct 2012, 23:09 pm
@103… Nothing wrong with HG… Censorship is is draconian and backward.
If you don’t like something just walk away, fight with person, but not censorship.
CHOICES …. The freedom to chose.

Brads is probably correct
Big fat hoo ha about a nonentity domestic competition and when it comes down to facing the best in an international competition all this fat bravado falls flat on its arse in a pile of overrated ash
As for pitiful little runtcunts katmanknt and his pathetic little sidekick rangerfcknut prude they only come here looking to get their pathetic little wet behind the ears noses rubbed in their own stinking arrogant fckup feces again and again and again.
14 Oct 2012, 23:11 pm
@fitz1ella-105: Stop flailing like that. You’re not landing anything and it makes you look like a weakling.
14 Oct 2012, 23:12 pm
@corporal punishment, black power, hurricane and the rest of the cheats.
Very typical you lot pleading to the ref (keo) to help you out when you cant win a fight. Begging for poltergeist, bakkies and heavens game to get red cards as soon as you start losing the comment trade offs.
People are free to express their opinions on the web. Dont plead red card when you cant handle it. Man up, all of you.
I am The Authority.
14 Oct 2012, 23:13 pm
@corporal punishment-103: heavens game is a straight up sharkie legend.

@the authority-107:
You are an idiot.
If you think blogging about child abuse and incest is the norm for a rugby site then you are just as messed up as the rest.
14 Oct 2012, 23:18 pm
@fitz1ella-109: its faeces.
and sies man thats disgusting.
14 Oct 2012, 23:20 pm
@fitz1ella-110: give us another round of abuse, but try harder please.
14 Oct 2012, 23:21 pm
@fitz1ella-109: Something has gone wrong with your Prophanomatic™ abuse generator. That last sentence is all fcked up. When did you have it serviced?
14 Oct 2012, 23:21 pm
@Hurricane-111: have to agree, the incest and child abuse comments are not even remotely defensible.
14 Oct 2012, 23:21 pm
@rangerman-108:
Yeah, i have had some got talks with HG. He is an over the top sharky/Bok fan.
Can be a bit much but you cant take away the passion, still he is an idiot
14 Oct 2012, 23:22 pm

14 Oct 2012, 23:26 pm
@rangerman-119: Ja, everyone’s a racist now. And the old Nat government is till listening in on his phone calls.
14 Oct 2012, 23:26 pm
@Hurricane-111:
You and your bum chums have written equally insensitive things about South Africa. I read a comment on one of the other articles about rape and crime in our country… Racist slur about “dumb dutchmen”… Vulgar language and general disrespectful ranting. In fact you even made threats of violence directed towards poltergeist.
None of us called red card.
Roll with the punches and man up. Cryings not going to get you anywhere.
I am The Authority.
14 Oct 2012, 23:28 pm
@Hurricane-122: cheers man,
@katman-123: ha ha as though throwing the race card will somehow make us toe the snoeky party line (party being the biggest misnomer ever unless you enjoy sitting around with other freaks waiting for the world to end and drinking koolaid).
have a good evening katters.
14 Oct 2012, 23:28 pm

14 Oct 2012, 23:30 pm
@rangerman-125: Ciao. I’m off to bed too. Another half hour before Skoppie the “coach” turns into a pumpkin. I don’t want to be around when that happens.
14 Oct 2012, 23:39 pm
@fitz1ella
Stop sucking up to us kiwis. We dont want you either.
14 Oct 2012, 23:40 pm
@McAwesome-128: forget it arsehole I ain’t sucking up to no one.. I’m telling it how it is prick
14 Oct 2012, 23:42 pm
@fitz1ella
Well go “tell it like it is” somewhere else. No one likes you here.
14 Oct 2012, 23:44 pm
@the authority-124:
So i have written what?
I have never and i mean never stooped down to family abuse or raving on about aids……never.
Yet you just accused me of it.
Threats toward poltergeist i stand by cos anyone talks about my young daughters like that and i find them…..game over. Anybody would. Cant imagine you standing by while someone talks about your daughters in that way.
This is a rugby site, nothing else.
But carry on and support poltergeist, just shows you have a huge problem as well.
14 Oct 2012, 23:44 pm
and beside you ain’t gonna get me you stupid imbecilic moron.. you think I ever want to become another one of you highfalutin self obsessed arsehole idiots that think the sun shines out your pathetic black backsides.. think again.. stupid goddamn idiot goon.
I’m a bok supporter through and through but I recognize idiocy and self obsessed stupidity wherever and whenever it rears its fat filthy self obsessed ugly head.. which right now is directly up your own fat fckup kiwi laced snot nosed backside.. dunce.
14 Oct 2012, 23:47 pm
@McAwesome-130:
I like him.
He says it as he sees it, like most do on here.
Rather have him than the likes of poltergeist and his right handman Robin (The Authority)
14 Oct 2012, 23:48 pm
@fitz1ella-132:
lol
see!
14 Oct 2012, 23:50 pm
McAwsome .. don’t these fckups really think they the beeswax of the business
should join forces with some these saffa twats that reckon they the self obsessed ideals of high society integrity on rugby sites
14 Oct 2012, 23:54 pm
@Hurricane-134: its OK Hurricane.. its tough to steer a straight line between the self righteousness and the down and dirty.. sometimes its tough to recognize the wheat from the chaff in all walks of life.. that’s how it is and that’s how it goes whether here or there or anywhere .. that is how the delusion of self righteousness goes.
gotta be gone.. cherio
14 Oct 2012, 23:56 pm
@fitz1ella-136:
Cya man
14 Oct 2012, 23:56 pm
@Hurricane-131
I have read some of your comments mate. Dont pretend to be an angel.
Point is that none of us beg for you lot to be banned. Ive read all types of comments from your lot. Crime, rape, Aids, racism, swearing, threats… We could just as easily ask keo to ban you boys but we dont.
Mate I know you dont like, but Im going to level with you… Just ignore trolls. Simple as that. Taking such offence is exactly what they want.
15 Oct 2012, 00:00 am
@the authority-138:
Dude, i know i am not no angel.
But there are lines and these are constantly broken daily.
Personally i have no problem with you, i dont even know you. So disliking someone cos they have different views than your own is stupid.
People on here reporting on crime figures,rape figures and women bashing etc needs to stop. No place for it here.
15 Oct 2012, 00:05 am
@the authority-107:
Oh and for the record, i have given Bakkies alot of stick and vice versa but i have been completely honest with him and i like the way he is. Deluded at times
He calls us cheats…..fine i understand, our team always pushes the boundaries as most teams should and do.
15 Oct 2012, 00:24 am
@ rangerman, HG’s comments above about abuse of animals by rugby players are equally offensive. It is vile and completely unnecessary.
15 Oct 2012, 00:33 am
@Hurricane-139: Agree. Also the *** bashing. All this bum chum this, bum chum that, homophobia is at best pathetic at worst it is downright criminal.
15 Oct 2012, 00:38 am
@the authority-107: Wrong, you are not free to say whatever you like on the internet. You just think you are because you think there are no consequences.
Well, the consequence of vile, disgusting and at times illegal comments is censorship. If you can’t use a bit of self restraint and keep it civilised, censorship will follow. There is already a high level of censorship on this site which you are conveniently overlooking.
Oh and surely you are having a laugh re Kiwi’s complaining to the ref, given the level of bleating about “Kiwi cheating” on this site.
You are attempting the defend the indefensible. Take a look at yourself, and resolve to make some improvements if you want to be a decent human being.
15 Oct 2012, 00:39 am
@corporal punishment-142: And Kiwi posters – this goes for you too. Grow up, we are in teh 21st century.
15 Oct 2012, 00:41 am
Shut up corporal punishment
15 Oct 2012, 00:42 am
@McAwesome-145: shut up yourself.
15 Oct 2012, 01:28 am
the authority,
Hurrican is right, you are a complete plonker.
15 Oct 2012, 01:32 am
@Black Power-147: This is what happens when there is no international rugby in the weekend, rugby fans have to resort to discussion which descends into abuse
Perhaps we need MORE internationals, rather than less!
15 Oct 2012, 03:21 am
amazing, only one saffa has had the balls to mention to Poltergeist and company that their posts about incest are wrong, yet should I mention the Aids in any sentence I have a minimum of 5-10 Saffas bemoaning it..
hypocrites…
I do hope this site isnt a true representation of SA society, but reading it the last few days and seeing the unbridled “banter” from people like the authority not raise the spectre of ire from any other Saffas, then it highights only one thing..
that the majority condone their comments “because its a saffa website” and that kiwis and other visitors should be subjected to the same type of insults you all get precious about
15 Oct 2012, 03:27 am
@corporal punishment-144:
Some good stuff on keo but sometimes it is just to hard to wade through the rubbish to find it. Unfortunately every family seems to have a few idiots in the ranks…
