See that, but it was still wet under foot for most of today. Still a great tourney and really enjoyed it. More like a festive mood atmosphere. Do hope the carry on from this one and make it a annual thing each year.

Thanks for that information on the Living Ball team Smallies. I sort of gathered that when they had the cross up with them after their game.
December 15th, 2012 at 18:40 SAST
OK, I think the tournament was successful and could just grow bigger next time.
Well done to the organisers… just a pity about your crappy web site!

It was a great tourney. I really enjoyed it. Especially that there is no rugby right now, it made for good viewing. Even if half the teams were not up to standard. Plenty played some great 7s rugby. Samurai was top class to watch. All our teams will have to up their game next year if they want to win it. We have to have a proper 7s coach and they need to select proper. This too can only benefit us in the long run with our handling skills.

658 @ grootblousmile:
You sure have gbs. Well done great work on not only this 7s live game thread, but through out the year on all the rugby live games thread. Best site as I have said many times over the years for matches.

Happy Birthday, today Sunday 16 December, Old Timer.
May you get so old that your arse hair grow right past your wobbly, knobbly knees, all the way onto the ground, to wipe out your own spoor as you walk!
May you continue having the illusion today that your Sharks is the best rugby team on planet earth!
