Here's the Baby Boks team for their final pool match vs France on Thursday evening:

BABY BOKS - 15. Cheslin Kolbe (DHL Western Province), 14. Luther Obi (Platinum Leopard), 13. Dries Swanepoel (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 12. Rohan Janse van Rensburg (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 11. Seabelo Senatla (SARU contracted), 10. Handré Pollard (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 9. Hanco Venter (The Sharks), 8. Ruan Steenkamp (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 7. Jacques du Plessis (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 6. Roelof Smit (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 5. Dennis Visser (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 4. Irné Herbst (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 3. Marné Coetzee (The Sharks), 2. Jacques du Toit (Toyota Free State Cheetahs), 1. Sti Sithole (DHL Western Province)

Reserves: 16. Andrew Beerwinkel (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 17. Mike Willemse (DHL Western Province), 18. Jannes Kirsten (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 19. Aidon Davis (EP Kings) 20. Percy Williams (MTN Golden Lions), 21. Robert du Preez (The Sharks), 22. Jesse Kriel (Vodacom Blue Bulls), 23. Devon Martinus (MTN Golden Lions)

I have a feeling that this is what our team will look like during the Semi's as well...

JWC is a Good warm up for the Bulls u/20 team ahead of the u/20 domestic competition in SA.

Pleased to see du Preez developing well. Just want his younger brothers to kick on now. Lambie needs a fire lit under him, I want the moves of 2010 Pat, and some healthy competition wild do everybody the world of good. Not to mentioned Jean Luc du Plessis, another son of a SA rugby personality, coming through.

Didn't the Bulls sign Du Preez as well?

This is really boring sifplay.

Lovely line from Amos, nice try.

We've had to soak up a lot of pressure, but we've taken our chances.

Lovely kicking from Sam Davies as well.

Edit. Sam Davies is having an absolute stormer!

 

[Jaguares]

The number 10 of Wales is very good, I like him a lot. In which team does he play?

Sam Davies, Swansea RFC so in the Ospreys region. Probably going to pass Matthew Morgan next season.

 

[dullonien]

Argentina's backs have been poor thus far. The forwards are making good ground through the ruck, but the backs look lost.

 

[profitius]

Good game between Wales and Argentina. Argentina coming into it but Wales look to have a bit more class. It could be a close finish.

 

[dullonien]

Welsh lineout has fallen to pieces, just handing ball to Argentina.

Their forwards have really dragged them back into this one, along with their scrum half. Welsh defence has been a bit week around the fringes.

Edit. That was pure class from Jordan Williams. I really like this player.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

Nice try that.

 

[Draggs]

Excellent O'Gara impression by Davies there.

 

[dullonien]

Good win in the end.

 

[ZeFrenchy]

I only saw one (didn't watch the whole thing) and it was totally deserved. Not for a tip tackle though, so probably not the same one.

 

[lynam1104]

NZ are just so dangerouas with the ball they look miles ahead of Ireland.

 

[Peat]

Yellow cards don't get more expensive than that...

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

The US U20's are completely useless.

 

[Tony Manx]

The US U20's are completely useless.

Maybe but enormous credit to them for the way in which they are still fighting when it is 97 nil with 13 to go...................

 

[Peat]

Credit to them I guess, but I tuned into that match first, realised it wasn't a contest, and switched to NZ - Ireland.

 

[Conal]

what do ireland have to do to qualify for the next round?

 

[Ragey Erasmus]

what do ireland have to do to qualify for the next round?

Win or lose in a high scoring game by less than 7 points.

 

[dullonien]

Unlucky Ireland, really pushed the baby blacks there. Anyone know if that's enough for Ireland to get through?
