sitting pretty in the wing department.
Try number 4
@McLovin (Comment 27) : Maybe not. Touch judge saw something. No try.
No springbok on the jersey.
Doesn’t seem to be having any effect on the players.

Thank you Mclovin..
Did they look much better than the Boks?
Eng with no rose on their tops. Looks like some kind of lion.
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 55) : They looked positively useless. But then NZ never really gave them a chance.
Aus broke out their brightest canary yellow outfits for this occasion, including the shorts.
Probably of for a rave afterwards.
Or perhaps it so the authorities can better keep an eye on them.
Poms cop a yellow.
Cons score a try.
Half Time
7-0 to the men in yellow.
@McLovin (Comment 57) :
I meant NZ.. did they look like champs compared to SA?

@Richard Ferguson (Comment 90) :
Didn’t we play Scotland in the quarters??
Ek vra maar net!!
Australia win .. 17 – 7 .
SA v England for the Bronze
@Richard Ferguson (Comment 90) :
Played Wales in the last pool game to top the group.
Had Scotland in the quarters.
I knew it i knew it i knew it.This team is a bit limited and was never going to do much, but if Treu can keep them together for a while that can maybe do something on the circuit
Well at least we will bring home a bronze!!
@wpw (Comment 91) :
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 93) :
I have no idea what you are talking about?!?
@Clayton(PJLD) (Comment 94) :
Yea the inexperience was evident , but as you say keep these players together there is lots of potential.
It has to be said that it was a very good and pretty experienced Aussie side ..the same team that won the London 7′s
@wpw (Comment 95) :
