Hou daai bal!
Glo nie Franse sal 2 keer punte kry nie, so ons eindig ten minste 2de of 4de. 2de dan speel ons Wallis, 4de dan is dit NZ.
… en toe hou hulle NIE daai bal nie….
OK, weer ons lineout…
3 Minutes remain
2 Minutes remain…. once again a Bokkies lineout
Bokkies could do with another 3 pointer…
Tryyyyyyyyyyy Kolbe!
Whoooop!
Aplon!!!!!!
Kolbe kan skrummie ook speel,lyk my.
Whooow i woke up in time for the end
Moenie vir die WP ouens sê nie, maar as daardie Kolbe gaan skrummie speel gaan hy baie baie drieë druk.
Bokkies 26 / 19 France
Flok me solid, but that was a needed try! Well done Bokkies, but you were too lackadaisical this match. Show a bit more passion next time.
Bokkies win!
Final Score: South Africa U/20 26 / 19 France U/20
Sien ten minste 5 toekomstige Sprinbokke hier: Kolbe, Senatla, Pollard, Obi, Du Plessis.
Not a comfortable win…. but 3 wins in the bag and we top our pool
OK manne… nou is ek moeg.
Goeie nag, slaap sag!
Orrrait, nou wat nou verder, teen wie speel ons volgende?
Buona notte a tutti!
@ grootblousmile:Janee, kom manne, laat ons gaan rus, sien julle later, tjorts.
Good to see the Baby Boks won this one, seems like it was a tense one!
Well done Baby Boks. Was a really tense game and only once Kolbe went over were we very sure we were going through.
Kolbe is a magnificent player. Gonna be a superstar if he plays like that. WP are truly lucky to have such a classy player. He was brilliant to watch. Never mind small, he should one day make the senior Bok side. He is awesome. Must be the Baby Boks player of this tour so far. For me anyhow.
Now we had better be on our game from the start against Wales on Tuesday.
Good luck to our Bokkies for the semi.

What a step Kolbe has…. phweeeew!
I’m glad he’s also involved with the Blitzbokke, same as Seabelo Senatly and Justin Geduld… those 3 could develop into world-beating Sevens Bokke.
Senatla was watched like a hawk last night, and without space he worries me… but when given space he is lethal. Kolbe is different he makes something from nothing.
Our tight 5 Bokkies forwards need to step up to the plate now in the semi and if we get past Wales, in the final…. they were laxe against the French and also in the previous match against England after the 1st 20 minutes.
174 @ grootblousmile:
For sure gbs. Kolbe is super exciting to watch. I know he will play in the 7s but never mind that. He has the class to play FB for the senior Boks in a few years time. He is pure class. Really enjoyed watching him play. Yip never saw that much of Senatla last night. Both wings are very good though. Really enjoyed when Kolbe off loaded to Obi in the tackle and put him away for that wonderful try.
We have some terrifc players coming through. Still not 100% on Pollard hey! What you think? He was not great in the 1st half. Has great talent as we saw last year, this year not so sure. He did play better at fh than inside centre. Thought our centres were really good as well. Both Bulls…. damn damn! hehehehe.
Yip our tight five not doing their job I think. We still getting turned over easy and losing too much ball. They need to be faster and hit the rucks at speed. Also sometimes the ball carrier is not supported well. They need to do their job. The backs are amazing though. Must say the blindside flank from Bulls is terrific. Massive massive for a 7.
Really enjoying watching the Bokkies.
Where is Obi from? See he is listed from SARU? Maybe Sharks should be hunting him down and probably Senalta too………………. 🙂 😛
175 @ Puma:
Luther Obi plays for the Leopards
176 @ grootblousmile:
Okay just saw that now. Sharks should still try and get him….lol. Good player and so is Senalta.
The best of the whole team of course is Kolbe. Pure class. Lucky WP they have a superstar for sure there.
177 @ Puma:
Bulls will have need for a right wing too, old Akona Ndungane is getting long in the tooth, same as his brother Oddie, at the Sharks.
Bit worried about tight 5 stocks for the future for SA, having just seen these young Bokkies last night and the week before. Hookers, no problem… props, big problem… locks still need to mature but the Blue factory should manufacture them.
177 @ Puma:
Someone suggested last night that Kolbe should change to scrumhalf… man, that move might just work!
One can see he is a thinking player, his balance is awesome, he is nippy.. can kick with both feet, option taking is healthy.
179 @ grootblousmile:
His size would suit scrumhalf very well. Also like you say he can kick with both feet. And a clever player to boot. He finds the gap like no other. Superb to watch. So yes, it would be interesting to see if he could play there. Either way he will one day be in the senior Bok side if he keeps that brilliant play up that we have seen of him.
Only tighthead is a worry. Also I worry for Coenie at the Boks playing TH. For me he is not great there, you could see our scrum struggle once he came on at th. He is a loosehead finished. We should have played the Cheetahs there or even Herbst from the Sharks has been outstanding this year. Others lower down coming through is a worry not many.
Locks are plenty especially coming from the Bull Factory that is for sure………hahahahahaha. Even J. Du Plessis could play Lock. Well I think he could. We also have PSDT that is pure class. Pity he picked up a injury now was the time to blood him and see how he does with Eben. So hoping he is ready for the eoyt.
