THIS WEEKEND 30/31 JULY

South Africa 22, Australia 16 in Pretoria
(Tri-Nations)
South
Africa continued on its winning way against Australia at home. This time it was
to begin its defence of the Trophy it won in 2004 by taking out the first
Tri-Nations game for 2005.
South
Africa takes on New Zealand in Capetown next weekend in the second Tri-Nations
match for 2005. Another home win will put South Africa in a very good position
leading up to its two away games.

Fiji 21, Samoa 15 in Suva (WCQ Oceania Rnd

Fiji won by 6
points. I predicted Fiji by 2.
Fiji
defeated Pacific neighbour Samoa in wet conditions to regain some ground lost
when they were defeated 36-10 by Samoa two weeks ago. The win was not enough to
prevent Samoa taking out first place in the tournament.

South Africa Students 30, Africa Leopards
15 at Ellis Park in Johannesburg
This
match is a wonderful stage for African rugby. The Leopards, with a few South
Africans, have been selected from those African nations playing in the CAR
competitions. It is the first time such a team has been assembled and playing
it as a curtain raiser for the South Africa-Australia test match is most
appropriate

The student side has a
number of age group players and provincial players. The Leopards may start well
but I expect the experience of the South Africans to win out in the end.

Ivory Coast 33, Zimbabwe 3 in Abidjan (WCQ
Africa Rnd 1B, Pool A)
The Ivory Coast won
by 30 points. I predicted Ivory Coast by 7.
Zimbabwe,
who played in the 1987 and 1991 Rugby World Cups, have been eliminated by
losing this game.
Ivory
Coast is ranked one place above Zimbabwe on the GWC Rugby Rankings Africa
table. Their squad includes eleven professionals from French clubs including
Grebo Olivier, Kangah Daniel, Tian Sylvère, Dako Johnatan, Dogui Bedel, Azand
Duwel, Monner Sylvain and Soulama Aboubacar.

weekend to finish top of the table. Both Samoa and Fiji are guaranteed a place

Fiji 24, Tonga 19 at Nuku’alofa (WCQ

Fiji had to survive a

South
Africa came back strongly into this game in the second half after allowing
Australia to build up a good lead in the first half. Poor goal kicking by the
Australians allowed the South Africans to keep the score line within reach.
Steven
Larkham again showed why he is one of the best fly halves in the game. His
running and kicking were superb. South Africa looked ponderous in the first
half but could well have taken the game in the second. In the end Australia
were much the better team and deserved to win.
Matt
Rogers and Wendell Sailor both had excellent games
When
Drew Mitchell came on in the second half to replace Morgan Turinui he was
making his test debut.

BOLIVIA AND ECUADOR TO JOIN THE RUGBY WORLD SOON
(09.07)
This
piece of news, from Seb Lauzier, was
taken from the IRB website and dated 30 June 2005
‘Over the past two decades Bolivia and Ecuador have,
like many of their neighbours, seen political turmoil, civil unrest and fiscal
deficit. Problems, however, seem to breed solutions in the region.
Ecuador continues to export
bananas and petrol, while Bolivia's newly discovered natural gas reserves are
to be sold to markets throughout the North. It is more than possible that out
of this mindset of survival and regeneration comes a natural ebullience, from
which Rugby can only benefit.
Indeed, an entirely
different kind of natural gas is currently being discovered throughout parts of
Bolivia as the sport's popularity spreads and gains momentum with every dashing
sprint.
"It is very exciting to
see Rugby being played and enjoyed in more countries in the South American
region," said Jorge Braceras, IRB Regional Development Manager for the
region.
"At the moment Bolivia
and Ecuador are still in the early stages, but once they reach a basic level of
formal institutional organisation we can look to build from there. Where there
is interest, there is a way forward." ‘

Norway v Finland in Helsinki (FIRA-AER
Division 3)
Norway will be confident of taking out this final European
international rugby match of the 2004-05 season.

Rankings: Europe Table-Norway 37th, Finland 38th
Prediction: Norway by 15 points.
02.07.2005
New Zealand 48, British Isles 18 in
Wellington(2nd Test)
New Zealand won by
30 points. I predicted New Zealand by 8.
This
was a truly awesome display by the All Blacks. The Lions just simply did not
have the pace or the power to catch up to the New Zealanders. The New
Zealanders now have a 2-0 lead in the 3 match series. The Lions will go home
with all sorts of records achieved against them.
Can
the British & Irish Lions salvage their tour and defeat the All Blacks in
Wellington? With the growing list of injured and suspended it looks to be a
daunting task.
New
Zealand first-five Dan Carter was the man of the match with a near faultless
displayed and toppled Jonny Wilkinson off the ‘best in this position’ mantle.
Can
New Zealand improve? If they do they will become a frightening team capable of
defeating anybody. Nobody would have last night!
The
Lions were a better unit than last week, but then so were the All Blacks-much
better!

Australia 37, France 31 in Brisbane
Australia won by 6
points. I predicted Australia by 15.
This
was a fast and free-flowing rugby match with some superb moments of rugby
brilliance. Australia deserved to win but with a little more luck France could
have taken this match.
The
French threw all caution to the wind right from the start and never gave up.
They showed that quick and skilled inter passing among players ( a skill
developed by the famous French teams of the fifties) is an exciting an
effective means of attack. The poor French tackling at crucial moments was
probably their only real weakness.
Australia
played a calm and unhurried game which won then the honours in the end. But it
could have easily gone the other way.
and
France have provided a history of stirring matches.
Denis
Avril played his first cap for France. George Smith will play his 50th
test for Australia.

won by 22 points.I predicted Samoa by 7.
Samoa were too strong for Tonga in Apia today. The educated
boot of Roger Warren and a fine forward effort told against a brave Tongan
team.
Samoa now look forward to the clash with Fiji.
There were ten local players in the Samoan squad of 22, six
