Beating the Argies in the semi 48-24


Some class acts in that squad


I reckon Pead at 9 could walk straight into the Bok side

Great start but some of those black players let themselves down again in poor tackling.


Lost shape after half time but Pead is on fire and so is that winger Jooste. Very impressed with the two and that 10 looks like an even better version of Masuka decent size and probably Pollard black cousin. Lots of similarities

Great 30 minute start but I also thought that they suffered a flat spot thereafter. In general a great effort and result, these guys are showing unbelievable skills and maturity at an early age. Liked the way the winger plucked the ball out of the air on his way to the tryline. Reminded me of Rupeni the Fijian wing who did exactly the same thing.

I was more worried about the Juniors gave away too many penalties in the match - basically at breakdowns, That put the team under serious presure fr n extended period.


Pead and Jooste I identified as class acts and I would say the same iro 12 Bester.


So for the first time since 2014 the Juniors are in the final. This time they play New Zealand in the final, I saw more of a forwards abttle in the semi between New Zealand and France. I was hoping for a Junior Springboks amd the A B Juniors since I believe that the Junios from SA would have a final against AB;a would be more easily won by SA than hey would have against the French,


By the way - 3 Southern hemisphere teams in the Semi's indcate the real rugby strength is still in the Southern Hemisphere,

Great to see them in the final, finally.


It will also be the NZ first final in over 6 years which is unheard of. It has been dominated by France and England over the past 6 years.


However, I don't see that talent coming through at international level. With that fire power, both England and France should be top of the world log but some how their club culture destroys their national team development.


However, also noted it was NZ/ FRA, Arg/SA.


So 3 Southern Hemisphere teams at the top. No Ireland, no Wales, no Scotland.

Italy was the only other Northern hemisphere team that caused the other teams some trouble.


I think NZ might take this one. It will be a high scoring game, but those black payers are not big enough or hard enough to mix it with the Kiwis. I hope I'm proven wrong

'......but those black payers are not big enough or hard enough to mix it with the Kiwis.'


Same old, same old 1900's culture, size is everything, how did size workout after readmission?.......it's about skill and speed....skill can be coached no-one can coach speed.

And yes you're going to be proven wrong.

King what are you on about? There is nothing big about the Kiwi side and have you seen how big and powerful Batho at 7 is or the 2 and the black props not the mention the very impressive black 8 who is a big lad


If anything this Baby Bok side lacks size and grunt at lock who all happen to be white

"grunt" is Davids new best word.

Thank God he's replaced "cunt".


They do sound similar though.
