England will be hoping to go one better than their senior side when they take on South Africa in the second semifinal of the Junior World Championship at Cardiff Arms Park.
Rugby 365 reports that Phil Vickery’s side lost out to the Springboks despite defying all odds to reach last year’s World Cup final in Paris.
So, buoyed by their outstanding pool victory over Australia at Rodney Parade on Saturday, Hugo Ellis and co are keen to make it four successive victories in the competition and to book a place in Sunday’s final in Swansea.
Ellis said, “It was an awesome performance against Australia. All the players put their bodies on the line and as a defensive display, it was out of this world.
“We put them under pressure and came up with some big plays – firstly when Luke Eves intercepted for the first try and secondly when we forced the second half charge down.
“The thing that stood out the most was the way which we stepped up the intensity, especially around the ruck where we knew their scrum half was a threat. Now, we have to do it all again against South Africa.”
South Africa coach Eric Sauls is expecting another physically demanding encounter. He said, “We expect it will be a very close contest. It will be tough. They are very physical, especially from the line-outs. They’ve got big strong backline players, good wings and full back, so it will be very tough.
“The contest will basically be determined by two packs of big forwards. If you get quality possession you can start building momentum and get guys running angles but as soon as you struggle with first quality ball, it will be a long day for you.”

Good luck Bokkies!!! Kick the Pommies @$$es !
Will have to listen. Seems no-one’s showing it. 👿
Better than nothing though. 🙂
SA favourites to win this one. 4/9
Eng 7/4 for a win.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 2) :
Well Kette will be able to watch on the other side of the Kingdom and everyone is SA will be able to watch. 👿
Maybe they are just preparing you “mud islanders” for the Currie Cup season 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 6) : Surprisingly enough the kind folk at sky are going to show about 3 CC games every weekend. 2 most Saturdays. 😯
Then of course we have mediazone (+ extra software 😉 )to watch the games Sky don’t broadcast.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 8) : eh he eh he eh he
@robdylan (Comment 9) : I don’t understand why Sky don’t do a similar thing as mediazone and make all S14 matches available live online. Instead of preventing (or try to) everyone from watching the games they don’t broadcast. They’ve got all the rights. Silly not to.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 10) : it’s cos they’re basically a bunch of cnuts!
@robdylan (Comment 11) : stupid soccer worshipping cnuts. 👿
Or as the say over at ARC – Smite the cnuts!
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 13) : 🙂
Firefox 3 in the house!
@KSA Shark © (Comment 6) :
I think Showtime will be showing it , they did show previous matches.
heres hoping!
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 16) : What is showtime, exactly?
@robdylan (Comment 17) : showimte is a satellite tv provider like DSTV in SA
@KSA Sharkette (Comment 18) : Ah, ok. So not an interweb thing
@robdylan (Comment 17) :
http://www.showtimearabia.com/showguide/online/sports_en_gb.aspx
And i’m afraid it seems it is NOT being shown CSB
@KSA Shark © (Comment 20) :
😳
If i scroll along it seems it IS being shown.
Good evening all.
Good news about wpw hey?
I think I must start calling up old girlfriends just in case – I would also like my own thread. 😉
@Big Fish (Comment 22) :
Hey knocking some girl up ain’t gonna get you your own thread mate. 😉
Now if you won the No Maintenance, 26 Man, Currie Cup, Fantasy league then you will get your own thread. 😛
@KSA Shark © (Comment 23) : not much chance of that, though…
Ya’all just hating on the good-looking young gun.
I are gonna take that competition – cos Lady Luck likes good-looking people. Unlike both your wives… 😈
@KSA Shark © (Comment 23) :
Actually getting some girl pregnant IS going to be difficult……………….. seeing as you are in CT N’All 🙄
So i think we have a good chance here tonight but then the final against NZ is NOT going to be easy.
@Big Fish (Comment 25) : Your team selection will costed you the title
@KSA Shark © (Comment 27) : Bulls juniors against the Crusaders. One way traffic
@KSA Shark © (Comment 26) :
Au contraire! Less competition here!
@robdylan (Comment 28) :
You will remember these words at the end of the competition, when I accept my tickets graciously… 😎
@robdylan (Comment 29) :
I suspect NZ will win but not sure if it will be with a heavy score
@Big Fish (Comment 30) : You think I’m gonna give them to you when I win?
@Big Fish (Comment 25) : hmmm i wouldn’t go that far …
BUT if you are correct and “the wives” don’t like good-looking young guns like yourself, then you have zero chance of scooping A ticket nevermind 2 – considering I know the holder of said tickets 😎 😆
@Big Fish (Comment 30) :
Hehehehehe
Goes back to my old thoughts on being gay.
I have no problem with guys being gay, it improves the odds for straight guy by eliminating opposition as well as increasing the availibility ratio.
Women being gay is a big NO NO though as it has the opposite effect 👿
@KSA Sharkette (Comment 33) :
Hahahaha
Ja Fishy, Nou is jy in die kak. You tuned my bokkie is a “vrottie” now it is gonna costed you.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 35) : Eina! That hurted
Darn! Foiled again!
Now, wait now Sharkette… lets not make any hasty decisions now. What I really meant was that said wives were of a more profound type and that mere looks would never suffice as a selectin criterion for such perspicacious ladies.
Indeed, while they could of course have their pick of the very pride of the world’s masculine inhabitants, these highly capable and compassionate ladies (allow me to emphasise “compassionate”) would eschew mere carnal frippery and rather choose men of outstanding quality and similar compassion (men, might I add, who would never hold grudges).
This, of course, is the context in which I made the above statement.
@Big Fish (Comment 37) : Not bad. Pity it took you 15 minutes to come up with it, though 🙂
@Big Fish (Comment 37) :
Can we just award him the prize NOW 😆
Dinner my friends – I’m still steering this ship through life all alone, remember?
Had some leftover Thai food for dinner, and now having fruity mueseli for dessert…
Its a hard knock life! 😥
@Big Fish (Comment 37) : fish, while i am extremely busy taking care of the kette’lets at the present time, i appreciate your response and shall take the sentiments under consideration
oops 😳 meant to add a smiley, see what multi-tasking can do to you 🙄 😎
By the way, do any of you fine gentleman listen to Usher (r&b) by any chance?
I’m quite enjoying the new album.
Do you guys dl using new-streams? Any recommendations?
@KSA Sharkette (Comment 41) : Don’t let him off to easily. 😈
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 44) :
Would you like to emulate you avatar? ❓
@KSA Sharkette (Comment 41) :
Thank you dear lady. I am quite happy to cast myself adrift upon the sea of your mercy – I am sure that I will find some compassion to succour me.
(Test tickets ya’all, test tickets!)
@Big Fish (Comment 45) : 😆
@Big Fish (Comment 45) : Do you know who it is (my avatar)? 😯
Evening Gents,
Looks mighty wet over in Wales , conditions perfect for the English..
At the moment after 20min its 5 – 3 to NZ.
Oh man I cannot stand this Jonathan Davis commentary..does my head in!
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 48) : Other thread. 😀
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 47) :

I am more interested if we know who that previous avayar of yours was 😆
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 47) :

So, you wanna emulate him or no? 😉
@KSA Shark © (Comment 51) :
Yeah, the dude in swimming cossie?
That was a very “Stormers” avatar.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 50) :
bugger sorry didn’t realize that a thread would have been entertained for the others..
@Big Fish (Comment 52) : No, not Leo.
@KSA Shark © (Comment 51) : He’ll be back.
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 54) :
Hehhehee
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 54) : No worries. Didn’t want you to feel left out. 🙂
@KSA Shark © (Comment 56) :
KSA have you also been having full on sandstorms for the last couple of days..?
In that case its probably the Apostle Paul or Simon Peter.
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 58) :
No I had them last week.
it was quite amazing.
The Eastern Province (Khobar Dammam) started their sandstorms on the Wed and it lasted four days. On the last day day of theirs it started on the west coast (Yanbu, where I have been for the last 4 weeks) and lasted for four days here. 🙁
Was heavy stuff.
Been good this week though
@Big Fish (Comment 59) : 😆 No. Most certainly not.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 61) :
Damn!
Hmmmm… Plato or Socrates?
Its hard to tell as I have unfortunately not had much of the honour of your company on the blog.
Could you perhaps throw out some clues for Inspector Clossuea here? 😆
@KSA Shark © (Comment 60) :
I’m hoping it ends soon…havent seen blue skies for a while…sand everywhere!
@Big Fish (Comment 62) : Think science. 🙂 Origin of life.
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 63) :
My car still looks like a piece of kak after last weeks dust. 🙁
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 64) :

Hardly counts though – you basically had to spell it out for me…
I feel rather dumb now. 😳
@Big Fish (Comment 66) : That’s him. 😀
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 63) : same here csb, cleared up slightly this afternoon but has been really terrible for ages now – KSA don’t know where you heard it’d cleared up 🙁 maybe thats a premonition, our luck it’l clear the day we leave for SA 😮
On the bright side, Im almost finished downloading the best of Creedence Clearwater Revival via Torrent! 😆
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 67) : I thought it was Pierre Spies
@Big Fish (Comment 66) : Don’t worry, I’m sure you are very intelligent. 😀
@Big Fish (Comment 69) : You evil pirate
Family man or Rugby..Mmmmmm decisions ???
@robdylan (Comment 70) : Spies at 35. After all his ‘medication’.
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 71) : i’m told he’s quite a “good-looking young gun” too 😉 😆
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 71) : He just hides it so well. A bit of a savant, really
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 71) :
You coulda at least left off the smiley!
🙂
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 74) :
Do steroids make you go bald 😆
@KSA Sharkette (Comment 75) : That needs to be verified by impartial folks. So far we have his word only. 😆

@KSA Sharkette (Comment 75) :
Somebody lied to you. 😉

@robdylan (Comment 105) : we’re never too old for change 😉
but I wouldn’t have thought you needed to 😉 😎
@robdylan (Comment 105) :
Diplomacy; the art of saying “Good doggy” until you get a stone in your hand.
Man, I know that its terrible for my street cred as an angry black man if this gets out, but ole Creedence really rocks!

What time’s kick off. Eurosport still have sports news on. 👿
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 113) : Problem is, I don’t have Sky Sports 🙁
LIVE coverage of the England v South Africa semi final at the IRB Junior World Championship has been delayed until 21:15.
kick-off at 21:10 your time.
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 115) : I am slightly more biased in the other direction
England v South Africa – KO 21:25 local time (22:25 in Johannesburg)
Nah. Looks like this one ain’t on the welsh channel
@KSA Shark © (Comment 119) :
Oh man I have a very early start tomorrow but also really want to watch the game…I’m going to wait for the mes to open up and grab a snack and a strong coffee 🙂
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 123) : Not sure I’d be comfortable getting food from a place called a ‘mess’ 🙂
Rachel

Okay my score prediction is as follows
Bokkies:22

@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 126) :

No need to thank me – I do it for the love of the game.
@Villie (Comment 125) : Londres.
@Big Fish (Comment 131) :
@ra-cheltjie de’ be-er (Comment 132) : Let me guess…..Wimbledon?
@Villie (Comment 134) : Nope 😆
@Big Fish (Comment 131) :

Pasty Poms looking up for it
I’m going to park the couch now.

Jeez our scrum just took a serious back pedal 😯
Me!!! 😈
Oh heck…try Poms!!
Shit England try ! straight through bugger!
@Villie (Comment 141) : shit…
You can see the Poms are well coached and have played together for a long time…much more cohesive. Bad missed teackle by the Bok 8th man
COMING IN FROM THE SIDE>>>>IS THIS REF BLIND ?!?!?!?!
Ag this is going to frustrate me. Our juniors play “dumb” rugby. Big guys, but no brains!
Hi all Boetas
hope Baby Bokke will win.
By the way: good luck to Natal Sharks for the upcoming Currie Cup.
It’s a pity you will lose on Friday night against US: Western Province 😯
i’m also here, but not liking what i read. 👿

@H.O. (Comment 147) :

Is that as in Un-Serviceable 😉
GO SHARKS!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Villie (Comment 146) : they’re all Bulls, you know…
@robdylan (Comment 151) : hehehe.,..yeah I know.

Brummer absolutely nailed the Pom wing, number 14 Cato from an up and under!
Let’s hope these guys pull it off?
Kom nou julle Bliksems!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Maybe they’ll understand that)
Pom scrumhalf looks about 30!! 🙄
Penalty in front of the posts to the Poms. This is not looking good at all!!
@Villie (Comment 155) :
Maybe he spends a lot of time in the sun………
Ag No wait he’s a POM, that’s not possible.
KSA Shark my dear
I did not get your reply about the DVD.
Was it an email message or posted in Rugga World?
TRY BOKS!!
Lucky bounce and Van Velze scores!!

@H.O. (Comment 158) :

A lot of people find their way to this site by searching for “Bart Simpson”… now how the hell does that work?
Commentators are lekker suur.
@H.O. (Comment 158) :
Here it is.
HO!!!!!!!!!
How are you?
Seeing you reminds me that I owe you an email.
I am away from home for a while and am then going on vacation to South Africa. Am dissappointed because it means i will miss the springbok Saga series AND also not be able to record it because neither myself nor Kette will be there to set the recorder.
Comment 87, posted at 12.06.08 18:19:44 by KSA Shark © Edit
And Brummer converts 15-10 Boks!
I suspect they’re the president & treasurer of the Eng fanclub.
conversion over 15 – 10 SA
keep it up boys!
@Villie (Comment 171) : go bulls!
Do they all have snorre, or are they still too young? 😉
It seems they understood!!!!!!!!!!!! So let’s do it again
Nog 20 punte julle Bliksems!!!!!!!!!!!!

@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 176) : thought both were now legal?

@robdylan (Comment 177) :

Cheers Rob
Dankie the same KSA Shark.
Don’t worry if you cannot record the Saga for me.
Hope you and your family enjoy the holidays at home.
If you are staying in Natal did pass my greetings to all Durban Collegians rugby people. Hope they will win the Moor Cup and Murray Cup K.O. competition. 😆
I hope you were joking when you wrote you are not allowed to post comments on Rugga World…
Intercept to Poms and try for Cato!
intercept try to England after a good passage of play by SA..a bit unlucky. Trying to play the game to loose..they need to tighten up.
15 all
okay ciao guys!
15-15! Boks were on attacvk and ridiculous pass to give the intercept…it was telegraphed!
Yellow card to Bok tighthead prop! 🙄
@Villie (Comment 185) : He’s given away about 4/5 penalties.
@H.O. (Comment 180) :
I afraid it was not a joke.
@CoffeeShopBok;-) (Comment 183) :
Cheers CSB
Why the hell they do not enable you to post any more?
@H.O. (Comment 188) :
I do not really want to mess up everyone’s evening by discussing all that here. 🙁
18-15 to Poms…another penalty!
Raining heavily now, conditions bad. I fear the worst!
Not the greatest game I’ve ever seen.
Think I am also gonna call it a night now.
Cheers chaps!
@Villie (Comment 190) :
What is the time on the clock?
48 mins gone. Boks should be up but making too many silly errors!
Bok prop back on again after his yellow
Commentators INCREDIBLY biased! 🙄 😳
@Villie (Comment 196) :
Are they Aussie? 😆
@KSA Shark © (Comment 197) : 😆 😆 Nope Poms! The summariser is actually Matt Perry (ex Pom fullback).
Lineouts not going well for Boks at all
Another penalty to England. Goode having a go at poles. Ill discipline from SA hooker!
Kom julle Bliksmes!!!!!!!!!!
21-15 to Poms. They getting on top now. We getting drilled in scrums too!
67 mins gone
🙁 😡
Would be nice to make the final but on this showing the Kiwi’s will win comfortably!
Hougaard and Brummer been the best of the Boks!
Not seen much of Eberson. Was looking forward to seeing him in action
😎 I got my Audio going again 😎
@Villie (Comment 204) :
The Sub or the starter?
Penalty Boks 21-18! 8 mins to go
Brummer slots a Penalty with 5min left 😎
@KSA Shark © (Comment 206) : Starter. Number 12
Another penalty to Boks and backchat so further 10 yards. Now brings it into range for Brummer. A tough kick though!
Poms marched 10 for back chat.
Brummer going at goal.
snap
Missed by a mile!
Boks pressing hard. Only 5 mins to go. Knock on Poms..scrum to Boks just outside Pom 22
its a SHOCKER. Our scrum is decimated and Poms get a tighthead.
@Villie (Comment 215) : 👿 😡
Penalty to Poms. Looks like its all over for Boks now
woulda gone for goal if i was the pom Captain
TMO TRY to Poms 😥
TRY to Poms and game over. We didn’t deserve to win.
Okay KSA…thats it for me. Going to bed now!
@Villie (Comment 220) :
Cheers see ya for the Sharks game tomorrow night. 😎
Go Sharks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Full Time
England 26 – 18 South Africa
Well done England.
Thanks KSA
You’ve just reminded me to do my Superbru picks!! 😮
Okay that’s it for me, i am also off to bed.
@Villie (Comment 223) :
And if you don’t have a Fantasy league team in yet………………..
@KSA Shark © (Comment 225) :
i see you do, so no worries 😛
They tried valiantly… but as I’ve said time and time again… ORKS will lose against MEN 9 times out of 10!
Time for the selectors to be sacked!
@bryce_in_oz (Comment 227) :
Absolutely – geez when last did a scrum wearing green and gold get such a working over.
Baby Boks beat Wales 43-18 to finish in 3rd place. We really should have beaten the Poms and played NZ in the final. NZ beat the Poms 38-3!
