2014 IRB Junior World Championship

Yeah it is strange. But that was the rules. Top team from every group, and then the 4th slot is made up of the second place team with the highest score.

So due to having the best PD was ranked 1.... thus we get to play the team finishing second with the highest score... NZ...

I really hope that we can trump them in the semi finals.

Thats different, usually it 1st plays 4th and 2nd plays 3rd for semi's.

In effect it is still 1vs4 and 2vs3

SA:1
Eng:2
Ireland:3
NZ:4

ABs score first... with a forward pass in the last move.

 

[MickeyD]

Pollard intercepts from broken play and scores... 7-5 to Baby Boks.

 

[bokka1]

Great defence from. us. But we should start dominating with our pack of forwards.

 

[FoXtroT]

Ridiculous yellow

 

[dunkyd]

Dont agree with the card ?

 

[MickeyD]

WTF is that yellow for? Ref also saw the replay and said no problem. TMO says yellow.

 

[MickeyD]

BB fullback... WTF was that kick?

 

[APoc184]

Fark TMOs... Fark them all.

 

[APoc184]

Not really surprising to find out that the TMO is in fact a Kiwi. Ben Skeen.

Luckily 2nd half still coming up and Baby Boks will be fired up.

I almost threw my beer bottle at the TV when that ref made the final call

 

[APoc184]

Baby Boks defence has been terrible in open play. Really good when it gets tighter to the rucks.

16 missed tackles simply not good enough to win.

 

[OrbitalDawn]

What happened with the yellow? Haven't been watching.

 

[APoc184]

What happened with the yellow? Haven't been watching.

Our centre grabbed one of their players and gave him like a bear hug. Then brought him to ground by turning him to our side, in the process slamming him into the ground. Totally legit tackle and the referee even said it looks fine to him in the replay. Then the TMO says it was dangerous and yellow card.

 

[APoc184]

Lucky try for Boks but we'll take it any day and twice on Sundays

 

[MickeyD]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[dunkyd]

Yes !!!!
