Baby Bokkies (21) 33 / Scotties (0) 0 (Final Score)
South Africa took on Scotland in their first clash of 2011 in the Junior World Championships at the Stadio del Plebiscito, Padova, Italy at 20:00 SA Time. This was the match thread for discussion of the game. The match was broadcast live on SuperSport 1 & CSN on TV in SA.
There was always only going to be one winner, but errors hampered the Baby Bokkies and many chances went a-begging. They still scored their 4 tries though and kept the sheet against them blemish free.
Scorers:
Bokkies: 3 Penalties & 2 Conversions Johan Goosen, 2 Tries Francois Venter, 2 Tries Arno Botha
Scotties: No score yet

Howzit, ja ok baas
Not able to watch but will be interested to hear what your think about Scotland no. 10 Duncan Weir, he plays for Glasgow in Ruaridh Jacksons (who has played a few 6 nations games for Scotland this year) shadow but I rate his kicking game and ability to take on defenders higher than Ruaridh’s although maybe his distribution skills not as silkly. Guess it may be tough to make a call if his pack is getting drilled like you guys are saying.

Oh Bully, I see the IRB site is only streaming the Baby Blacks game, not the Bokkies game.
By the way, it is safe to download and Intall Microsoft Silverlight… if you have a genuine Windows version… or if it appears genuine… hehehe
June 10th, 2011 at 21:03 SAST
Unfortunately Gbs the Irb live games are blocked for UK, Ireland and NZ. They did have some footage of SA v England 3rd place play off, presume it was the last tournament
June 10th, 2011 at 21:04 SAST
Think I must have a dop, it is Friday evening after all… been a hectic week, I deserve one.
June 10th, 2011 at 21:06 SAST
2nd Half ON!
June 10th, 2011 at 21:07 SAST
60@ grootblousmile:
Would I need the Silverlight to play the video footage, cause I did manage to get the game I mentioned to play, do have the real windows here.
June 10th, 2011 at 21:08 SAST
64@ Bullscot:
Then Silverlight is probably already installed, it is part of the Regular Windows 7 Updates anyway
June 10th, 2011 at 21:09 SAST

Eishhhhhhhh the Bokkies butcher a certain try
June 10th, 2011 at 21:16 SAST
Weir is off injured… blood… replaced temporarily
June 10th, 2011 at 21:20 SAST
65@ grootblousmile:
ok, don’t spend too much time playing around with the machine. See England in same group as SA got 5 points so would be good for Bokkies to get bonus point try, but would also be nice for Scotland to get something too. Francois Venter sounds like a good player, and bonus he’s at the Blue Bulls!
June 10th, 2011 at 21:21 SAST
69@ grootblousmile:
Thats a pity hope he’s back on again soon
June 10th, 2011 at 21:22 SAST
The Scotties are like a wonderbra…. all support but there will be no cup… hehehe
June 10th, 2011 at 21:23 SAST
The Bokkies are often threatening well, but finishing has let them down
June 10th, 2011 at 21:26 SAST
@ grootblousmile:
Oi gedra jou meneer, don’t be a nasty winner
June 10th, 2011 at 21:27 SAST
New Zealand 43 / 7, so far against Italy
June 10th, 2011 at 21:28 SAST
74@ Bullscot:
But I heard that Wonderbra was considering sponsoring WP and the Stormers as well… hehehe
June 10th, 2011 at 21:30 SAST
Johnny Welthagen on for the injured Johan Goosen
June 10th, 2011 at 21:30 SAST
… and there’s the 4th Bokkies try… Arno Botha again

74@ grootblousmile:
Oh well let you off there, in that context its alright. Gonna be a big day at Newlands tomorrow hope we can pull it off sommer with a bonus point. Anyway with all the focus in different areas this side I was blissfully unaware of Kirstens appointment as cricket coach until Thursday, just seen now the AD is also on board thats great news.

81@ Bullscot:
