Common knowledge and there's no refuting that South Africa got lucky in Vegas...

 

Sadly for SA though NZ is odds on favourite to take out the Wellington Sevens leg with many players returning from injury...

 

...whereas six try scoring South African Seabelo Senatla has gone home injured with Rosko Specman..bad luck as have been following Seabelo when he starred for the baby Boks and the Sevens squad will miss him... 

 

 

Influential playmaker Tomasi Cama, speedsters Sherwin Stowers and Ben Lam and Auckland teenager Akira Ioane have all been included in a 14-strong squad to prepare for New Zealand's home leg of the IRB world series.

 

Must say it's good to see South Africans finally taking some interest in the Sevens  . If only they could take some of that Sevens form into the Super Rugby we might have a competition...

I would gall it "got lucky" - if it was the first win against New Zealand for a while.   Since they lost every game against since Las Vegas last year -New Zealamd fot lucky not to be beaten by a wider margin.  They must just pray they don't have to play SA at Wellington.  The disgrace would be too big for them to stomach


The situation is so bad - New Zealand is now the bunnies for the Blizbokke  - like the Chiefs would be in Super 15 this year against the SA teams.

 not so clever mike ...NZ has just been toying with you as we do when we're bored with always winning everything....

 

... but now unfortunately, it's time to crush you under our thumb...sorry about getting your hopes up... cruel i know but you gotta appreciate the Kiwi sense of humour... it's kinda black...

Fine - but the toying was unfortunately on the other foot.  Once New Zealand beats SA the first time since December 2012 - we can talk again.   In the meantime they are the bunnies of the Blitzbokke.  It really must be demoralizing to lose all the time. 


Bunnies they are and bunnies they will remain - even in their own backyard.

 not so clever mike you don't deserve to win as you fail to support your team... so they will reward you accordingly...by failing...

 

...may as well give us the Olympic Gold Medal now and save NZ taxpayers the price of airfares to Rio don't you think?

Dear friend - what team don't I support?   Because I often criticize the SA teams does not mean I  do not support them.   I do - but refuse to be a puppet on a string.

 NZ will keep on kicking Yarpy butt as long as we don't have the guts, spirit and back bone to challenge and get results...NZ is obviously doing something right and Kiwi's are strong and challenging people.

Cannuck ...I follow minnow rugby...I'm very impressed by Canada's achievement in the last seven's...unbeknown to most rugby fan's there is a lot of talent that lives in minnow nations.

 I agree Seb, Canada could be a sleeping giant. If rugby catches on there watch out.
Cloudy if they continue to rely on kiw "talent" they will remain minnows. nice double meaning there for you.

 ...not so clever mike dont say we did'nt warn ya mate.

 

... looks like a long trip back to South Africa to reflect on who the REAL champions of this sport is and how we comprehensively kicked your yarpy butts again...sorry about that..

 

...and what a whipping it was..like lambs to the slaughter...LMAO

 

...too many palagis in yr team letting you down i think...

 

...maybe on the plane trip home the team can take back with them a few of these blinkin' overstayers that have escaped yr shores ...that would be much appreciated thanks...

Heartfelt  congrats - the first win in 6 games played took a long time to come - and I really do not want to see one-sided results in rugby.


The NZ team did very well and I hope for your sake they keep it up.   Being all brotherly love this morning means I am generous with compliments.


Now for the real thing - the Super 15.   I see the unfortunate Hurricanes are playing the Sharks on 22 February and the Highlanders the Stormers two weeks later - they are the first two NZ teams that will roll over and turn to jelly this year.  So not long to wait to see that spectacle.


I should actually go to Durban to see the Hurricanes game - but then I do not like to see one-sided affaits

just finished watching the 7s and woooohooooo, go NZ u good thing go, :o)

after a first up loss to fiji on day 1cwho avenged their pool loss to NZ in the vegas sevens where they were also in the same pool, NZ played every game afterwards without conceding a single point,,,

NZ 7s vs
55-0 spain
47-0 france
24-0 canda
31-0 england
21-0 blitzbok

thats a 178 pts without conceding a single point, and against heavyweights england and south africa, and also france who are strong but a tier lower and this world series surprising giant killers the cannucks.

IMO the difference was simply the return of some key players, plus gordon tiejens favouring kaka over cama who spent most of the wellington 7s playing from the bench.
brilliant move from tiejens, ive been calling for this move to happen for the last year now, cos tomasi cama might have the skills, but he dosent have the speed to warrant the incumbency, especially when kaka does.

anyway fantastic effort from the boys, never easy holding any team to zero, let alone some of the worlds best.

was surprised to see the blitzboks beaten so comprehensively, as their form has been class, but im not complaining, lolz, :oP

would be wrong to read too much into this tournament, blitzboks are a mere two points behind us on the ladder, and everything about the way they have been playing this series tells me that their chances of winning the series has never been better since 2008/2009.

with japan next on the circut, this is really shaping up to be one of the best 7s sereis ever.

good luck to both NZ and SA, :o)
