2012 IRB Junior World Championship

[bobbilycious]

William Small-Smith is in the team. He just isn't playing in this first game at all.

Haha, that is dedication right there! I'm just going to watch the replay at 7.00am (as well as the two following games). I'm at uni on study break so I've all the time in the world

It is times like this I wish I was still a student!

South Africa Under-20: 15 Dillyn Leyds, 14 Paul Jordaan, 13 Pat Howard, 12 Jan Serfontein, 11 Raymond Rhule, 10 Tony Jantjies, 9 Abrie Griesel, 8 Fabian Booysen, 7 Wiaan Liebenberg (c), 6 Shaun Adendorff, 5 Pieter Steph du Toit, 4 Paul Willemse, 3 Allan Dell, 2 Mark Pretorius, 1 Steven Kitshoff.
Replacements: 16 Jason Thomas, 17 Oliver Kebble, 18 Ruan Botha, 19 Braam Steyn, 20 Vian van der Watt, 21 Handrè Pollard, 22 Tshotsho Mbovane, 23 Maks van Dyk.

Between Serfontein, Small-Smith and Jordaan we have some decent centers. I know nothing of Howard but if he can keep Small-Smith and Jordaan out of the centers he must be good (or is it bad selections like last year again where we fielded our best team only after the round stages against Ireland for a dead rubber?)

Good to hear West is a good goal-kicker. It means we have plenty of good goal-kicking options in the team (West, Eade, Hall, and McKenzie is pretty handy too), and given our team isn't exactly full of superstars this year we need to take all the points we can get!

It is great that it is on Maori TV, as I'm in the same boat as you, not having Sky at the moment. The coverage of the NZ kicks off at 2.30am NZT, so I might be a bit tired at work tomorrow!

Yeah, incredible that Maori TV has picked this up. I don't have sky either so I'll make sure I'm watching all the games.

Heard Small-Smith busted his nose in a game, but will be available after the Irish match.

Two tries after 5 minutes for Aus one after 34 seconds this is not going to be fun for Scotland.

 

[Peat]

Holy ****, Scotland are getting bummed.

 

[big ginger 8]

At least they made a nice break with their 13 but of course he then gets smashed by a guy who looks like Ioane 2.0.

EDUT: 3rd try for Aus after 13 minutes. 17-0. This Aus team carries on the Australian traditions of good running rugby, good young players and a poor goalkicker.

 

[big ginger 8]

4th try in 16 minutes. Sotuia is looking some player from what I've seen of him here and for the Reds absolute beast. Goodwin finally gets the conversion. 24-0.

 

[Peat]

I'm beginning to feel bad for the Scots. This is wrong. Inhumane.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

How's the Wales game going?

 

[big ginger 8]

5th try 26 minutes 29-0.

Bit of a scrap now not surprising.

Apparently Fiji got two early tries vs Wales. 12-3

Suitia gets his first try 36-0 after just over 30 minutes.

 

[Wilko's left boot]

Hmm, Wallabies going to town on Scotland a bit here.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Nice "driving down safely" there.

 

[lucky number 7]

Does nobody else find this a bit sad..

Does nobody else find this a bit sad..

It is incredibly so, at least Scotland have managed a try now. 36-5 at half time.

 

[Saintjay]

I have the feelings you would get upon seeing a sack full of kittens being thrown in the canal. Watching the spirit and joy of youth being crushed in a golden vice.

Took a shower at half time, I was starting to feel dirty and ashamed.

 

[lucky number 7]

It's a sad state of affairs...it's ok though If Australia put a few more points up I win money ..which is good

Me? Not at all I do think it's terrible,

43-5.

EDIT: Suitia's second after 47 minutes 48-5 after a shocking attempt at a conversion.

 

[lucky number 7]

What a ridiculous attempted tackle by the no.8

Really a Ronan O'Doormat style attempt..

Edit good man camera man gawking up a girls shorts!!
